Re: Repeater Island

Why not just make your house into a large Faraday cage?

If you set all APs to the same SSID, which is the normal practice, you will probably find that your clients don't move from AP to AP.
It has been my experience that the hand off rarely drops even a single ping packet when using the same SSID and different channels. Contrary to Anav's idea of putting directional antennas facing out, I would suggest using reflectors to direct your signal towards the inside of your house, and to lower your interference level from the neighbors. Anav, are you the guy with JR's Music or am I confusing you with somebody else ?

There's a spare AP of same make/model as the one in use around here somewhere if I can find it. Will give this a try.

It's not a house. It's two office buildings and an industrial complex. I wash the area with a dozen high powered APs.

No matter... the suggestion is equally as serious for your business park as for a house...

While you may be serious, I cannot take you serious. Cell phones, pagers, voice radios all still need to work.

That said, there is metallized film for windows and absorbing paint available to dampen RF.

I said it was "equally serious" for a business park as for a house. I didn't say it was serious for either one. Sigh.

Sorry, while I said I couldn't take you serious, I seriously thought you were serious.

The suggestion was equally serious? It was tailored for the house.

And what's a business park?

What you are looking at, is doing something along the lines of Mesh Networking.

Mesh Networking? That's a type of network topology.

I would do a wireless DOS attack on all my neighbors until they all gave up on wireless. Then all the airwaves would be mine!!!
