The wireless card on one of my systems will not connect. I am running wicked under 13.2. Looking at Google, they suggest changing the channel to improve signal strength, or extending the allowed time out period. Is there a way under openSuse to read the signal strength? What file needs to be modified to extend the time out period? Or other suggestions if the above are bogus hints.
Thanks Don Hi As root user;
iwlist scan Rule of thumb, if there are other AP's on the same channel, move to one at least 2 channels away. Aerial orientation can help both from router and client... think of a big donut over the aerial(s) for coverage. A forum user produced a package called wifiplotter to analyze wifi signals, else if you have a smart phone, tablet there are free tools to check out signals etc. The other option if router and clients support it is to move to the 5GHz band. -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° LFCS, SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 SP1|GNOME 3.10.2|3.12.51-60.20-default up 2 days 8:40, 7 users, load average: 0.04, 0.14, 0.19 CPU AMD A4-5150M @ 2.70GHz | GPU Radeon HD 8350G -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
