Left – host computer Right – TightVNC into another computer in my home. Therefore, channel 1 is the optimal channel (you can see two devices – my AP and printer) Because the ‘user’ of the other wireless is using Channel 6 + 10 (40 mhz ) spread, Channel 6 and 11 are NOT optimal. As you can see, one side of our house has interference on channel 11. Got Atheros? Follow this link to drivers.Īlso, do a quick survey of your entire home. While the default is 100, did you know if you increase this time (assuming you have a great signal in your home or business) that you can increase wireless bandwidth (slightly) and even increase your battery life of devices? This may slightly decrease your bandwidth (wireless) and use a little extra battery on mobile devices. This sends beacons more frequently and can help with your signal. Note: If you have a laptop and are moving around in an area, you may need to lower this number.Īlso, you may want to lower the Beacon Interval in your router if your signal is low or if you have drops. If you have a card that has roaming under advanced, select the lowest option. Open the device manager, double click on the wireless adapter, under advanced, click on Scan Valid Interval – change this to 120. This is the amount of time before your wireless ‘looks’ for other access points (for roaming). By default, most wireless cards are set to 60. Is your Wireless dropping? Update your driver of course and then try changing your Scan Valid Interval. ![]()
