generally it is not the signalstrength which let you connect at higher speeds, it is the noise level. So you can have a low signal without noise and you may connect at high speed and on the other hand you may have a strong signal and high noise and the speed is 1Mb or do not connect/associate at all > ----- > ath0: flags=28943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,PPROMISC> > mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::20f:b5ff:fe20:71ed%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 > inet 192.168.132.146 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.132.255 > ether 00:0f:b5:20:71:ed > media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect <monitor> > status: associated tha card default in autoselect is probably 11b so it do not connect at 11g until you configure it to ifconfig mode 11g media OFDM/54mbps should do the job,, tha card still connect at lower speed depending on what it can with the selected AP in order to not jumping around you can try setting bssid _MAC_desired_AP_ so long as your card is in monitor mode you may not connect nor get traffic at all João A mensagem foi scaneada pelo sistema de e-mail e pode ser considerada segura.
