my neighbors, my connection
July 24, 2009Out of the blue, the connection gets weak. My airport status bar only shows one dark band. Sure enough, when I check, I see that three of my neighbors are online. Do I know them that well? Uh, no, but their names show up on the list of networks being used. One uses their real name, the others I’m fairly sure are right across the way.
Then I completely lose the connection. This is aggravating. I go back and unplug the airport base station. Plug it back in. This has worked the last few times. But it’s so annoying.
My sons the software engineers tell me this shouldn’t happen. Why does it persist? During school hours when the kids across the street are otherwise occupied, and the other neighbors are at work, no problem. Most of the neighbors are elderly or maybe they’re pc people. Is it just an airport thing?
