This page may be of interest to you however I wish he would have put the Fonera flat panel antenea in there as well nonetheless great info on the performance of various antaneas on the fonera

Well the overall quality seems to be better, but what's my problem is, that the signal drops from perfect to very bad in seconds. And it doesn't matter how far/near I am to it. Also the overall quality is very bad compared to my Linksys WRT160N with no external antennas at all. I can't even connect to it 2 rooms away. Any help would be appreciated.

Has anyone had any issues with the fon signal strength? I am using the original antenna. The fon is sitting only a few feet away and sometimes the signal poor is very poor, then goes back to excellent, then dropping again. Will changing the tx power from 0db help?
I have the exact same problem, the txpower is even set to 18dB (this was the default setting). I even added a huge 9dB antenna to it. But the signal is very bad, hope someone can help me out with it.

Damn those hidden messages, are very much fun to figure out, took a while for me... hope to see more of them in the next episodes :)

I'd also like the packages for 10.03, that would be sweet. When trying to install the patched drivers it says that they are up to date (kmod-madwifi) and it won't install the jasager.ipk
Don't wanna go back to the old version, since there are lots of new features and packages on the new OpenWRT.
-
Ok, I'll try that so far.
Another question, can I just reset everything and put the Jasager back on, with the tutorial?
-
Try dropping the power back to the default, the openwrt gui may be setting values that the Fon can't handle.
If the clients are connected to an existing AP and you deauth them then they reconnect back to the original rather than yours right? If so then it could be the client software that is looking for specific MAC address on the AP
Well I tried the normal power level, which is even worse. But if this is the standard setting, I might go with that.
How can I avoid the clients reconnecting to the AP?
-
Don't know about the latency issues, for the connectivity, do the other devices connect back to their original AP or do they stay probing?
Have you tried getting one of them to connect to an ESSID that doesn't exist to see if Jasager will snag it?
It snags them, but only when I'm right next to it. But if I deauth the clients they don't connect to the Jasager.
-
What do you mean when you say you maxed out the dB?
There's a dB setting in OpenWRT which I set to the maximum.
-
Anyone with any clues, to what I can do about those problems? Help would be appreciated! :)
-
On your other wireless devices do you see the Jasager AP? Probably shows up as OpenWRT?
Yes, and I can connect manually. But as I said the power level is pretty low.
-
Not sure about the hardware problems.
Did you enable karma? Do you see any traffic in the log?
Karma is enabled, which log do you mean the log inside Jasager? (Nothing there) Also I don't really think those are hardware problems.

Hi there,
I have my Fonera up and running for a while now, but I got three different problems that bug me a lot.
First of, the Fonera is connected to my local router via LAN cable and when I ping it either from the router or another PC on the LAN the latency is pretty bad... about 250ms.
Second the Wireless signal power is pretty low, even though I maxed out the dB, it hardly goes from one room to another.
And the third problem is that even with Jasager running, the WLAN left unencrypted. When I then deauth my Eee 1000H or iPhone they both don't connect to the Fon. Even when they are pretty near to it.
Hope you guys can help me with those problems. If you need any more informations... go on!
Thanks!
