Access Point and disconnecting internet. Good question, huh?!?
-
I have broadband internet through a cable modem that is connected to an AP (=Access Point) . My notebook has built-in wireless adapter, and i am about to use the internet on the notebook max. 7 meters away from the AP (so the distance is not big). The problem is i can connect to the AP (the AP gets the signal from the cable modem with DHCP),,and my connection is "excellent", 54 Mbps, but the internet disconnects every 1, 2, 3, 4, minutes or so, it depends.... but as soon as it is disconnected, it will reconnect again, and then disconnects again in about 3 minutes, then reconnects, etc, etc.... what do you advise i should do? give a fix IP? When doing a ping test on the gateway address, no percent is lost. All right, the AP is placed 20 centimeters from a scanner, pc speaker, printer, but can there be so much interference, especially if these devices are switched off?!! What should i fix or set? This is only(!) an Access Point, so not a router, i canNOT do MAC cloning, or "force feed".

Answer:
Dollars to doughnuts that your problem lies in that you're using an Access Point with a modem. I'd bet about two or three doughnuts worth that if you bought a broadband router (even one without wireless) and then hooked the access point into the router that it'd solve the problem. (Wired Broadband routers run for $30 or less these days...)

make sure your computer is set to (automatically obtain a ip address) but is it the Broadband or the AP itself.

First you need to isolate the problem wether it is with your cable modem, WAP or the cheap wireless adaptor built into your laptop. I doubt a "fix IP" or static IP will help your problem. Why not try connecting your laptop directly to the cable modem with an ethernet cable (CAT5 cable) and see if the internet drops out. Also, what brand/model of Cable modem, WAP and laptop? You may want to consider using a Wireless Router instead of the WAP as it has DHCP built in which will allow it to connect to more then one PC and also provide MAC cloning if needed. A decent Wireless router will run you $50+

Hi since you are using a access point you give mac ip of the LAN card on the access point then it will easy communicate the device . Ask you cable vendor does it is a shared network or not because some of the Internet cannot be shared on the local LAN.
