WiFi at Quartzsite - Don Bradner - 01-26-2008 03:35
On the assumption that most of the people who are with us in Quartzsite and
using our WiFi also read one or more of these forums, I'm posting this here to
get the word out.
My router apparently has a limit on the number of simultaneous wireless
associations, but it isn't defined nor is there a setting to change it.
Whatever that limit is, we reached it last night and it stopped allowing more
people on. The total number of IPs issued so far is 61, but the simultaneous
number may be as low as 20.
The only solution: Turn off your WiFi adapter or disconnect from my router when
you are not using it. This will free up the "slot" for another user. The most
critical time is from about 7 pm until I shut the system down around 10.
Thanks, and otherwise enjoy the connection!

No Bob. Mine has to be reset because it is configured with a manual
IP Address. Don is supposed to come fix it for me.

Ron has a powerful external antenna, so he's as easy to get to as I am, but his
connection speed is a small fraction of what people get on mine.
My SOB friend and neighbor opened up his WiFi this morning to help - he has the
same high-speed internet connection I have, so it is a good alternative. When
you look at available networks, Blue_Thunder(Free) is me, and Blue Bird Rally
(Free) is my neighbor.

I have an iDirect account that is nominally 768K up, 2000K down on a 60:1
contention, so it averages about half the maximum.
Monday morning I called the guy who handles the network and told him I was
sharing with the Blue Bird group and needed some bandwidth, so he moved me to a
fairly open channel. We are getting 1000K up and 5000K down in the evening, with
about 2/3 of that during peak hours.
