For example, take an Android smartphone or tablet, install a special free application to determine the free channels, and check the Wi-Fi signal's reception quality and strength. With the help of modern mobile devices, it is easy to determine the Wi-Fi signal level of an access point. In the example above, you can see that there is a free channel № 6 in the radio air and in this case, you should use this channel.Ģ. But if these channels are already used by other access points, in this case, choose a channel on which the neighbouring points have a weak signal and rarely used. We recommend you to set the number of one of the free non-intersecting wireless channels (for the 802.11n protocol, non-intersecting channels are 1, 6 and 11 with a channel width of 20 MHz, and with a channel width of 40 MHz they are channels 3 and 11). You will see the available Wi-Fi networks within the range of the Keenetic in the displayed window. Radio air scanning with the built-in Keenetic router toolsĬonnect to the web interface, go to the 'Wireless ISP' page, and click 'Scan for a network'. There are two ways to do this: using the Keenetic router or specialised utilities.ġ. For more information about the mechanism of automatic determination of the optimal channel, see the article ' 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network'.īut you can also scan a Wi-Fi network yourself and see the detailed information for each wireless network within the range of your wireless adapter or access point. We recommend assigning the task of determining the optimal channel number to the router. Usually, this is the radio channel farthest from neighbouring wireless networks, if there are any within your access point's range, to avoid frequency conflicts that can cause problems when using a wireless network. In Keenetic routers, the optimal channel number is selected automatically based on periodic radiofrequency analysis (radio air).

I will update this topic if I find anything else that could help other people but ti looks like changing the channel from automatic 11 to 2 in this instance has at least allowed me to repeat the the process and get the same result.Choosing a wireless work channel is essential for a Wi-Fi network. Many thanks Cam for your continue support.

I am loathed to say that this issue is now totally fixed as I have found that this whole episode has been highly unpredictable.īut I will definitely recommend to anyone to download the iStumbler app if they are having issues with creating ad hoc networks on a mac. So I set up the ad hoc network again with channel 2 and it worked first time!! I then decided to reboot everything again and start from scratch to see if it worked again and was repeatable. ( I choose 2 because there was nothing else on this channel BUT I had used the automatic channel 11 previously and there was no other network using that channel so this still doesn't make too much sense to me). Only once did it work when I used channel 2 when making the ad hoc network. I performed your 'create ad hoc network' procedure - tried 5 times, managed to get the iPad IP address to update after the 15 second wait, go to TouchOSCs network section, see the local address has been updated BUT 4 times there was NO host!! I don't think the issue is with signal strength even though this was my initial thought.

But my conclusion is that using the mac 'create ad hoc' network is extremely unstable and unpredictable. Ok, so I've run some more tests this evening, using the istumbler to get more of an idea what might be going on. That can be done but it would require a bit of tinkering as the AirPort Extreme needs to be opened up to connect external antennas. With a few of these, you guys will be the ones jamming the neighbors. In case low signal is still a problem, boosters can be added (giving up to 15x signal amplification) : I suspect the wireless interfaces of the MBP have at most 15dBm average signal strength.Īn AirPort Extreme base station would provide 20dBm with much less obstruction on the antenna. The downside though is that it will add a bit of latency. Going for a wlan router would indeed allow to have more radio signal power. If that doesn't work there's only two choices, track down interference sources and shut them down, or increase the networks signal power.


Setting up an AdHoc network using "Create network." rather than by activating Internet sharing will allow to select the channel for the network.

You can use this software to find out which channels are the most crowded: In case of wireless interference, the first thing to try is switching to a less crowded channel.
