Wireless Woes

[kevin_standlee]

I once again seem to have an intermittent wireless signal here. Maybe it is my computer -- but it worked just fine at home! Also, the wired connection continues to refuse to work, and when I call their tech support line, it wants me to leave a voice mail. I can't spend all day waiting for them to call me back!

Later today, I'll try connecting from other places in the hotel and see if that makes a difference, or if maybe it just loses the signal when it "warms up."

When you open the connect to wireless network box, what does the signal strength look like? A lot of hotels really only do wireless for the lobby areas and so you're lucky if you can see the hotel at all anywhere else. The LAX Marriott (Loscon) however shows LOTS of access points. I could connect to at least 6 in my room.

There are only two WAPs showing at best, one of which isn't the hotel's. It starts out with excellent signal strength, then drops off. Right now it's at "Very Good," but it varies a lot.
