Re: Wireless connection "times out" after a period of time

No worries Eric - I'll go and buy a wireless USB key to see if I get better results :)

Re: Wireless connection "times out" after a period of time

Update: I've changed the SSID from 4 to 13, perhaps it might make a difference. There weren't any other WLANs on 4 , so I don't see why it WOULD make a difference.. but I'll persist :) Nope - It dropped out 4 mins later, and then once again. Considering this is based on OpenWrt, is there any way of ...

Re: Wireless connection "times out" after a period of time

If the other users have had no problems, have you tried replacing the wireless adapter on your computer? Is your computer a notebook with internal wireless adapter? You should try another PCMCIA wireless adapter, or even one of the USB Wireless-G adapters. I have a cheapo Airlink 101 USB XR Wireles...

Re: Wireless connection "times out" after a period of time

v1.0 Final (Is this the latest version? I was a bit confused about the 1.0.4, 1.0.5 versions etc, but I think these are betas, and therefore prior to the Final version?) I'm not sure what "bleeding edge" is either, what it does or where I can get it. WRT54GL EDIT: Yeah, it's dropping out (...

Wireless connection "times out" after a period of time

I've always had Low (2/3 bars, maximum) reception. There was an option in DD-WRT to boost the signal, which seemed to rectify the issue. After swapping to Gargoyle, it's gone back to it's old ways, i.e. connecting at 1mbp/s, dropping out (just my computer from the WLAN) etc. Is there a way of fixing...

Re: Help me devise a bandwidth management scheme

I think there's two ways of tackling this: 1. Limiting quota before we are capped To prevent becoming capped at all in the first instance 2. Limiting bandwidth AFTER we are capped I guess the bandwidth itself is not the important thing when we are NOT capped... It's only important when we are capped...

Re: Help me devise a bandwidth management scheme

Thanks Mike :) I was hoping that I could implement a system that doesn't "hard cap" (and presumably bar Internet access completely) a user if they exceed, say 500mb a day. But rather taper their speeds down further and further if they go crazy with downloading. This is also to control my u...
