| 313674 | 2005-01-13 11:20:00 | HI Ive been using woosh for about 2 months now. the modem is paced in a place where i get full signal strength & quality. but now all of a sudden in last 2 -3 hrs my connection was dropped and and when i tried to reconnect the modem status software showed that only 1 green bar in signal strength & -,red little bar in signal quality. Now i obviously chekd everything. nothing was wrong my side. i called woosh up first thing they said too move it around to the other side and so i did nothing happnd. next thing was that they told me was that my modem has picked up signal from balmoral which is faar away, the staff mem also said that m modem usually picks up the Mt roskill signal and get good speed. and the last record shows ive connected to the Mt roskill and got good speed. now theyre saying is that i should buy a booster so it can pick up the right area signal. iam just wondering how this hapend all of a sudden, the signal strength & qulity use to be full without any help off booster but now it has dropped. Is my modem intersectd with other devices. there are no cell phones, radios & cordless phones around the modem. how can i fiz this. is it really worth buying the modem? |

| 313675 | 2005-01-13 22:23:00 | I honestly don't think you should need to buy a signal booster. Have you tried moving the Woosh modem to a lot of different places and checking out the signal strength? It may just be that Woosh technicians have changed something at the Mt Roskill location. There could, however, be some sort of interference, though I don't think Woosh operates in the 2.4GHz frequency, and I'm darned sure they would have chosen a frequency that wouldn't be prone to interference. Anyone else got some bright ideas? |

| 313677 | 2005-01-13 23:50:00 | Ah, well 802.11a-capable wireless routers could be causing some interference in the 5GHz frequency. Maybe you should try and find out if your neighbours have started playing with wireless networking. ;) |

| 313678 | 2005-01-15 01:57:00 | I've just reread some articles in Silicon Chip about the comparable system in Sydney which is 3.4 GHz. Woosk is probably the same. Apparently it is causing major problems with TV viewers -- it's blasting satellite receivers. A few watts close up wipes out receivers which depend on seeing picowatts. :( | Graham L (2) | ||
