[BAWUG] WAP11 v1.1 vs v2.2

Since I just stripped a WAP11 v1.1 I noticed that the v2.2 has some sort of magnetic filter on the antenna which the v1.1 does not have. Take a look: Version 2.2: http://www.hartwellroad.net/images/co/wapv2213.jpg Version 1.1: http://www.hartwellroad.net/images/wp/dsc00010.jpg I wonder what the

RE: [BAWUG] Battery life question

Have you tried enabling the card's power saving features? I know some cards will go to low-power mode when possible.  Also, I wonder if USB adaptors draw less current due to the limitations of the USB interface? I recently worked on an install with some nice Lucent USB adaptors.   --Jason

Michael I just did a test running both card in the same laptop, when we compared the 200mW Senao cards running agents the Zcomax 180mW (the new one) and 100mW the 200mW Senao ran hotter when there is a active signal like in an active AP. This is when we have seen problems, where the signal droppe

One comparison I can make between the 200mw cards that Jim and Matt are selling vs. the 100mw Zcomax (XI-325H, that I think Tony is selling) is that the Senao cards runs a LOT cooler... The Zcomax is at least twice as hot. (I don't have anything decent to measure the temperature with... I can sa

I am doing 25' of LMR-400 with a 12 dbi omni to a WAP11 AP. The WAP11 is in an upstairs hallway closet to avoid heat. The antenna cable then goes through the closet ceiling, through the attic, to the roof. On the receiving end we have 12 different WAP11's in client mode. None have antennas (ju

John- Actually, I'm the one with 75' of LMR-400 on each end, and I'm still having issues. I think it's the antennas, though (15.4 dbi omnis) so I'm waiting on a smaller 5dbi omni for testing and local purposes. I am, however, leaning towards shortening this to more like 5' on each end and r

[BAWUG] Battery life question

I would like to use 802.11 for robotics (being able to put data, video, command on one transmission form).  But battery life (and hence weight) has been a real limiting factor.  Does anyone know of a card that is easier on battery life. Robb,Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Health - Feel better, live better
