Your microwave is emitting at the same frequency that your wifi operates on. I spent a considerable amount of time working for a major internet provider as a field technician, and wifi interference was one of our main issues.
Your wifi is a radio signal, just at a much higher frequency than most broadcast radios operate on. The best source of comparison I can draw on is to think about what happens to your AM radio signal, when you drive underneath a power-line. The signal noise you get is comparable to the noise your wifi is competing against near the aforementioned electrical devices.
Auto channel may help alleviate some of your problems, but auto channel is more meant to cope with multiple wifi signals in a small place, such as in an apartment complex, or an office building that is home to many different businesses all operating wifi.
I think InSSIDer will show you some channel power levels but what I think you are looking for is a true spectrum analyzer. Using a SE you can see non-wifi interference like monitors, bluetooth, phones, microwaves, etc... I have a leaky microwave at work that when used increases the channel utilization on CH11 to about 30%. So my wifi deployment current runs at about 20% utilization so when the microwave runs it jumps to over 50%. What I was able to do in the interim was to move my devices closest to the break room off of channel 11. I know this is not the best solution but it's only until we can get our facilities folks to install a newer commercial grade microwave in there. BTW the one currently in there and leaking is commercial grade but might be too old or the shielding is just off.
A microwave functions by using a heating element to pulsate off small amounts of radiation which excites water and fat molecules in food that produce friction and heat up. Basically, the radiation that normally heats up food may be in the same hertz range as a wifi router (something I've never heard of before, but certainly is possible). That can interfere with the radio waves used by the wifi router and other types of electromagnetic waves used by other wireless devices. The best way you can avoid it is just to keep your router away from the microwave, or get a type of material off of eBay that can absorb electromagnetic waves (I can't think of any off the top of my head).
By default, when I boot, the wireless is off. I can turn it on with ifconfig wlan0 up, but when I use the wireless kill switch, and try to use ifconfig wlan0 up I get error 132. I also want the button to turn the wirelss back on, but I don't know how. I found this package called rfkill though.
got same problem here, but i found a solution, the problem is the power supply from the cloud it kills the wlan i put some aluminium foil over the powersupply and voila wlan is back!
this needs an replacement from wd how to get a decent powersuply from you?
why nobody from wd can answer here? this is a common problem with my cloud home!
this really pissing me off always need to reboot the cloud to get wifi back!
found this in log of my router, udp port scan attack, idk how can this shut down wifi?
Help please!
finally i found a solution uninstalled the Plex app from mycloud and everything is working fine, plex is killing the router i dont know how but now mycloud and router-wifi is working stable no more problems.
I want to do follwing: My app should be able to kill the internet connection of a specific network device.I already thought about a library or something like that, but jpcap didnt work for me. Maybe its the wrong one?Maybe I dont need a library for that, I dont know. But if so, where to start coding? Any keywords for how to beginn?
_ First one:Having access to the end devices and kill the connection directly on them. On windows in can be kill + pid (using netstat etc.).Practically speaking I doubt you will have access to end users' devices.
_ Second one:Your device act as a network gateway. Typically a router/firewall/wifi"hotspot".All the traffic will be passing through the device.A connection table will be held and then it will be easy to kill any session from here. Most of the device by default doesn't send a TCP reset (if it's TCP we are talking about) so they won't know the TCP connection has been dropped.Not sure how the syntax is with Java or even if this is possible, but logically you should be able to kill a socket and end any tcp connection for eg. initiate by the device in itself.
I think I've narrowed it down to when I'm downloading large files. Last week, when iOS17 came out, I started like 3 devices all at the same time. My wifi just crumbled. It took hours for those devices to download. With that data point, I've started to pay attention to other times my wifi stumbles. In almost all cases, it's when a big chunk of data is being brought down from the internet.
Bought new 12 pro max. Got home add home wifi, instantly killed the wifi. kids come pouring out of room to look at router. I turn off wifi from phone and it comes back on. Happened all weekend. Ran a speed test to verify, oldest ran speed test on his phone as soon as I connected it killed it.
What do i need to do in order to make wifi kill switch(when vpn connection becomes inactive, internet over wifi stops working) and is it possible to separate lan from vpn all together or at least make it so it does't shut off when vpn loses connection?
Assuming that is working properly, it should not have a direct impact on the local operation of the LAN or Wifi. If you are seeing devices drop offline, it is because they are trying to be 'smart' with internet connectivity tests (usually a ping test to a given domain or IP). Here's an example. These client devices drop the wifi connection if they detect that there is no route to the internet -- this means that you will need to change the settings on the devices themselves, not your OpenWrt system.
With a built-in bait cup, you always know your trap is properly baited. Access the cup by opening the kill chamber lid. The cup is marked on the floor of the trap furthest from the rodent entrance. To get started, use a toothpick or cotton swab to apply a high protein bait such as peanut butter or hazelnut spread in the cup. Place your trap where rodents are known to travel and turn it on!
p.s. someone already asked this question, but no-one answered it exactly, they gave an answer on how to type something in the terminal to turn the wifi off and then on again. I've tried that, the command doesn't complete - the command just hangs forever, and even control-C doesn't bring it back.
-Initially I only worked with LAN, no problems
-Then I entered my wifi credentials and I could work with wifi. However due to poor signal strength in my default location this sometimes causes problems.
-Currently when I plug in my network cable I still connect via wifi, hence the idea to disable wifi.
I bought a m100 a week ago and noticed that the battery was drained while the camera was off and the body was hot. I did some search and found some discussions on dpreview about the wifi can be turned on while the camera is off if the wifi button is pressed.
I think this is a desgin issue. The power button is well protected from accidently turnning on and the camera will go into sleep mode if there is not interaction in a minute or so. However, the wifi button is not pretected in anyway and the camera won't be turned off automatically.
I have two Sonos Connect devices (in different rooms) running S1. Device A is connected by ethernet and B by wifi. RIght now, my router reserves bandwidth both for the Ethernet connection to A and for the Wifi connection to A, along with the wifi to B. (The router recognizes 3 Sonos connections.) The problem is the router partitions bit-speed, and I'm at the limit of what my ISP can do. So I want to make the A connection eithernet only, bringing down the denominator by one in the division of bandwidth. Sonos does have a setting for that, but when I disable wifi to A, mysteriously B disappears from my system. Can anyone help me fix this?
Hello John,
Thank you for reaching us, With regards to this, we have an ongoing issue related to wifi and our internal team is currently working with it. You may also refer to this community post related to the mentioned issue. -x-endpoint/f/discussions/134995/pc-cannot-connect-to-any-wi-fi---sophos-endpoint-is-not-allowing-it
So, is it possible that my GPU's killing my WiFi Card? They're pretty close together (less than an inch, maybe less than a cm, I forget), but I'm not sure if that's the issue. Over the last couple weeks/months I've noticed that when I get online, sometimes it's as if someone's eating bandwidth.
I'm a Network Engineer trying to make our three 802.11G Wi-Fi networks coexist with the Relay G-30's that were just brought on stage and completely killed out networks today until we made the musicians turn off their Line6 gear....
And IMO it was answered incorrectly.
The question is how to DISABLE
simply telling it NOT to get an IP address is NOT disabling
As I suggested, Dont load the kernel module that controls the wifi by blacklisting the module.
Well, if you disable wifi in Windows - system will be too aware about device, but it will be inactive, i.e. it should not draw any power (and i guess that the only reason why you need to disable device, not just turn it off). But your method is indeed closer to shutdown module, which indeed more correct approach
Looking on Amazon.com, the description of every Anker USB 3.0 Hub has a disclaimer about using 2.4Ghz devices with USB 3.0. If you look in the comments, at least some purchasers of almost every model have had difficulty with 2.4Ghz wifi. You may have better luck with a different brand of hub, but they may all have the same problem. Perhaps using an extension cable and changing the location of the hub might help?
