TheRocK Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 (edited) 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! Edited April 13, 2010 by TheRocK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaud Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Not sure about the hardware problems. Did you enable karma? Do you see any traffic in the log? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRocK Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) 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.

gaud Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 On your other wireless devices do you see the Jasager AP? Probably shows up as OpenWRT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRocK Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRocK Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Anyone with any clues, to what I can do about those problems? Help would be appreciated! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 What do you mean when you say you maxed out the dB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRocK Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I deauth the clients they don't connect to the Jasager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Depends on the software they are using. The usual rule is to go to the AP with the strongest signal so if you are having power level problems the real AP could be wining every time. There are also issues when a client is expecting an encrypted connection, they will connect to your fake one but then automatically disconnect due to lack of encryption but then come straight back again. Looks like they are flapping. You can also have clients that fix the MAC address of the AP they prefer to connect to so if they see that then they go back to that. Trial and error will help work out what is happening in your situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRocK Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 Ok, I'll try that so far. Another question, can I just reset everything and put the Jasager back on, with the tutorial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Ye, just reflash it with the firmware and you'll be back to a clean install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Actually, I had the same problem the first time I flashed. As digininja said: Reflashing gives you a clean install and that did the trick for me :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
