Hi We have a series of rooms with wifi. If we walk from one room to the next, a phone or an ipad will use the wifi in the new room. An opensuse 13.2 laptop doesn't do that. You connect to room one and you stay with room one all day unless you walk out of range or reboot. Is there a way we can make the opensuse change as per the phones?
We think the relevant part is NetworkManager Applet 0.9.10.0 but don't know where to start. Thanks
I don't know of any mechanism that would alert the operating system to your changing rooms. More than likely, your laptop is marginal in its reception capability, and as you walk from one room to the next, there is a spot where the signal is a little weaker--a phenomenon called a null, which will happen in all RF environments, but especially within a building. It is this null in signal strength which causes the loss of wifi connection. --doug, retired RF engineer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
