Is it because the 3000 is not a router?

I tried it with a 3102 and it works fine, but not with my 3000.

I wondering if there are some setting in the 3000 that i can change?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
thankx.

Not to nitpick, but a laser is very different than an LED. A laser emits coherent, virtually monochromatic light, while an LED emits over a broad frequency range. Some lasers are based on LEDs (i.e. diode lasers), but are also based on many other materials (dye lasers, rubies etc.).

I would guess that lasers at the right wavelength would be more dangerous than leds not only because all the energy is focused in a narrow spatial range, but also in a narrow wavelength range.

First about Mr Johnson… What is he talking about? 2cm and 40cm
Ham band crossover? Helooooo… 2.4GHz is 8cm wavelength. 4cm half wavelength.
Where did this so called “ham” above get 2 and 40 cm from? Talk about making us look
bad. 2cm is ~1.4GHz and the linksys gear would HATE running that far out
of its designed band. And 40cm is 750MHz.

And a “500,000 buck fibne per hour” (sic)
not likely. If this were used in the US and if the FCC gets a complaint and if the FCC
finds where you are it would be more like a warning, and a slap on the wrist with a letter that
says “…don’t do that again.” Maybe a token fine to show their appreciation. (Note: This is
not a recommencation to just go out and do this! Its just a comment on the state of
the FCC right now and how busy they are with “real” work.)

Besides most Hams don’t refer to any bands above 23cm by their wavelength. They refer by
the frequency allocations.

I would be concerned by the AC cord powering the enclosure. Water could— maybe —-
possibly — (ok unlikely) get inside it. The dielectric grease is
good suggestion. A weatherproof connector is a better idea.

Seriously, that is a nice looking enclosure. And it is a good use of the ATX
power supply. Its clean. Cables are well-dressed. And it is easily serviced. Nicely done!

I don’t know why I bother to post on three year old pages, but… oh well. Must be
a slow friday night.

One last note: Since the unit is using only one antenna I thought I’d mention that
the Linksys may not do antenna diversity well. It would probably work
better with firmware like DD-WRT where you can select the antenna that is in use.
(Unless the current version of firmware from Linksys supports selecting the preferred
antenna.)

Al, you’re probably not the reason your neighbor cannot use their WiFi. Its spread-spectrum so
the odds of being on the same frequency at the same time are not that significant. It is more
likely there is something wrong with their setup. Although you would sometimes
interfere with them, some percentage of traffic would get through. Probably at a somewhat
reduce rate of speed. I’ve had systems with multiple WiFi APs on the same channel. (6 once)
Its not ideal, but it works. They should look for something more obvious like a 2.4GHz phone
running on the same frequency and causing interference. Microwave oven also is a pain in the
back end… they are around channel 8 and trounce all over the signal from WiFi.
