Need wifi setup or management parameter help.. Some blind folk at Cherrywood Pointe (senior living) in Savage have tech support from MN Services for the Blind for Dragon (and related) screen reading software which needs internet to function properly. Cherrywood is an Ebenezer managed facility with about 70 "independent living" residents who are cabalbe and typically affluent (rent is quite high). Wifi is included in rent. The wifi connection is erratic, and at such low speed that the software doesn't work. I'm trying to help identify the problems so thet can be fixed. "Bandaids" used before have not worked. What is a typical building setup? My info is only approximate now. Centurylink has a "big" fiber-optic feed to the equipment room. Cherrywood/Ebenezer equipment in the "communications room" converts to wire distribution. There is a "building router" that has multiple "CAT5" feeds that support offices and 3 pairs of access points that distribute wifi in the facility . All I need to know is basic bandwidth and connection info: I do not need to know anything private, and do not seek any actual admin access. What is a likely building router make and model? What is a likely wifi access point make and model? Are there typical bandwidth or speed restrictions affecting residents and guests? The connection speed of the 802.11g/n links is usually only 11MHz, and only once in a while 54MHz. The internet speed is usually only about 1.5 mb/sec, and occasionally 3 mb/sec or so. Those numbers seem far below a typical "wifi hotspot" connection. I've never experienced such bad connections as these. What does a typical hotspot like a Dunn Bros coffee shop offer? Please assist as you can. Chuck Cole -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
