New Around Here
sorry for posting this here, i just have no clue where else to ask this and hopefully someone here with more networking expertise can help me out.
i'm in a unique situation of temporarily living in a hotel along with another person. the wireless signal here is pretty bad thanks to shoddy networking. as far as i know from talking to the owners, they have a modem which has cable running along to access points throughout the hotel. for some reason they're all wireless g access points and the access point nearest to me is housed in a closed room with thick concrete walls. the most i can get with signal from my amped wireless sr10000 is 60% even though they say 70% minimum. unfortunately i'm running into a pretty major issue. the internet here requires going through a login page and hitting a connect now button. with my last netgear extender, there was no issue with this. but with the amped, if we have 3 devices connected at once, devices get knocked off and have to reconnect and it's a never-ending loop of that. it works fine if only my laptop and phone are on, but two laptops and a phone isn't doable.
i've tried the following things:
- reflashed firmware
- changed the following things in advanced settings:
- fragment threshold to 2304, 1568, 784
- rts threshold to 2306, 1068, 534
- beacon interval to 50 and 150
- long preamble to short preamble
- 20/40 mhz coexistence enabled
- changed dhcp to client and server
- tried static ip (although i may have done it wrong)
any idea what else i could try? is there some magical combination of settings i'm missing out on? let me know. thanks.
