I have a Linksys WAP11 (v. 1.1) hooked up to my Linksys BEFSR41
router. We just bought a Gateway Laptop with a builtin Orinoco
wireless card (I can't find out right now since my wife is using it).
We also have an old Compaq laptop with a Linksys WPC11 card. The
problem is that neither one works very well with the WAP11. In tests,
where each is only 6 feet away with an unobstructed view, the signal
is rather poor -- it varies from excellent to poor, and with the
Gateway, it just disconnects in under 10 minutes. I'm running with
firware version 1.4j1 on the WAP11, and even have used to the ATMEL
access point manager with the "secret options" to boost the power, all
to no avail. I'm ready to give up on the WAP11, but would really like
to make sure that it is at fault and not the cards. What kind of
tests can I do to tell this?
