Change your beacon interval to 101 (Score:5, Interesting)

Changing your beacon interval to 101 keeps your wifi networks beacons perpetually out of sync with your neighbors wifi noise. The problem every one is having is errors like unable to find access point, connection error, and being dropped from your access point. This single change makes all of the other tweaks esoteric and uneccessary. Access points know how to deal with noise and interference. Access points do not know how to deal with an excessive amount of lost beacons. And they shouldn't.

...Channel 1, 6 and 11 does not interfere with each others frequencies at all...By placing the communication on the same radio channel, you can make use of the simpler protocols were you raise your hand and is then allowed to talk...
