![]() WiFi networks can experience a number of different problems and can be downright chaotic at times. (and yes, I know they are both reputed to be pretty rubbish, but the HH3 has served me adequately for a couple of years.InSSIDer windows software is a free download that enables you to literally see inside your WiFi network and even view all around your network. And I know one tool I'll be using in the comparison. ![]() I will probably compare it's wireless performance with the HH3. I'm moving from soon BT to Plusnet soon and have just got my 582N. But it gives a very valuable picture that frequently helps people who would struggle with netsh wlan show networrk, or people who can fairly easily use netsh but would rather use the much clearer inSSIDer. Of course inSSIDer doesn't give a complete picture especially it does not show interference from things that aren't 'normal' wi-fi sources (microwaves, etc). Is it so difficult to try different channels from a list of 1, 6 and 11 without drawing some pretty graphs which don't really give a complete picture of what's going on?Įven though those are the most used channels, they are not always the best. Anotherone usually likes to mark my posts, and deduct points if they decide I'm off topic or didn't fully address every single point of every previous post or if everything I've said isn't of benefit to 582n users, so I'll do the same and point out that it's just a needless dig at me. I also don't think Anotherone's comment claiming I'd like to blow up the 582n because it contains a broadcom chip has added anything of any use to this discussion. Is it so difficult to try different channels from a list of 1, 6 and 11 without drawing some pretty graphs which don't really give a complete picture of what's going on? Oh wait, I suppose the pretty graphs are necessary to "prove" that the problem is the fault of those nasty other networks which must be blasting out a too strong signal and drowning out the poor little 582n. But it must somehow be the fault of the other networks if they can't detect the pathetic signals from a 582n? Do you think you can't use wireless if you can't find a channel free of other networks? Maybe things would work better if the other networks could detect signals from the 582n - then everything should be able to coexist reasonably well. I don't usually just suggest that someone's wireless problem is because the 582n is a useless piece of junk - although a thread might end up with a ridiculous suggestion from plusnet staff about getting extra wifi access points, wifi repeaters / extenders, homeplug networking - anything and everything besides replacing the 582n. Sorry if I'm not massively biased and think everything that plusnet does is wonderful and any problem is anyone other than plusnet's fault. I don't know what gave you the impression I thought that. ![]() No, I don't, because WiFi doesn't work like that. I suppose you think just blasting out a better signal than the 582 gives to drown out the other nearby routers on the same channel is the solution? InSSIDer doesn't really show which channel is less used, it only show the number of networks - saying it shows which channel is less used has to assume the traffic on each network is the same. I've lost count of the number of people we've seen on here who've solved their issues by changing to a channel number less used!
