Re: [MLUG] WIFI

Usually the wifi pc card connects to the signal which is best for its reach. 
Now if you are in a location where you got two access points in your range 
then its try to optimize among the two streams, as the ip address assigned by 
the access point through dhcp keeps changing and so the reason your 
connection gets lost for every few seconds or minutes.
I faced this scenario at the ketcham auditorium and suposedly it might be 
looking the access points at ece and ebw. But, after certain time might be it 
checks for the best connection, I get my signal stabilized. So try looking 
sometime about 10 min or more and see still you have the problem. 
All my write up above is just the discussion with one of my communication 
friend about the problem when I had it.
