Wifi Baud Rate
Posted: Sat Sep 24, 2011 3:38 pm
Has anybody noticed any differences with the rate the wifi module connects to your network?
I know the default is to use 24Mbit. I've reprogrammed mine to operate at 54Mbit. I've been having problems with one of my wifi modules operating at that speed. I noticed that my signal would drop dramatically and I'd have to have a perfect line of site for it to work (even if it's 3 ft away from my wireless router). I was even having problems with it being about 1 ft away with nothing between it where it would connect to the network but drop packets right & left (couldn't ping it).
Just for kicks, I dropped the rate back down to the default (24Mbit) value and it started working great again for me.
Anyways, just thought I'd see if anybody else has noticed any differences and what rates you use.
