I have a new wireless setup in my house. LinkSys 802.11g access point
with a LinkSys 802.11b ethernet bridge in another room with a small
LAN in it. But it's really unreliable. I measured by doing pings once
a second; in the past 12 hours I've had a total of 960 failed pings
spanning 120 discrete outages.
I wouldn't mind the occasional lost packet but this kind of network lossage is playing hell with some connection-oriented Windows applications we use. Very annoying to have your terminal session terminated. And web page loads fail a surprising amount. Is this typical? Ken noticed that all the outages are either 6 seconds or 11 seconds. Is that some sort of connection reestablish timeout? |
