how do you reduce home wireless networking errors?
DD_Sabre asked:
On my home wireless network , i`m getting 100`s of errors. Does anyone know why or how to reduce them. Thanks in advance.
The router.adsl modem is a belkin 54g and all i can add is that on the stats page of the modem is tell me the amount of data, and errors associated with the wireless part. There are no other errors to do with the hard wired networked pc`s. just the wireless connection to a laptop.
yes the router is in range….84% signal and constant. no to mac filtering. yes to encryption (wpask) all links use the same code or wouldnt be able to get a link.
the wireless link does work and seems pretty stable but my question was as to why i was getting so many errors only on the wireless link. you might say “why worry if it`s working pretty good” but thats not the point when really there shouldn`t be any errors at all.
sorry ppl, i cant tell you what the errors are, my router doesn`t tell me exactly what they are just the amount. If i knew what they were or what was causing them then i wouldnt be asking. Thanks for trying anyway..

Yo, savymicah is correct… Please post some error messages so that we can better troubleshoot/guess on the answers. It could be interference from your cordless phone to a faulty driver on your NIC/wireless device.. It could be anything… cut and paste from your device error logs and/or your System log.

Record the number of errors. Refresh the list of wireless networks your laptop can see — are there many or just your router? Then move your laptop/PC closer to your wireless router. Turn off all cell phones, baby monitors, cordless phones, microwave ovens … did the errors decrease? Login to your wireless router and ensure you are configured for the USA or Europe. The USA uses channels 1-11 while Europe uses channels 1-13 for 802.11b standard with 22 MHz wide signals at 25 MHz spacing. This an option in your wireless router and laptop to select the regional configuration. You did not specify the operating system but if it is Windows then upgrade to SP2 — there are know reset issues with prior software.
