[Hidden-tech] Sharing wifi between apartments

[ussailis at shaysnet.com]

That reminds me of another WiFi problem to consider:

The very popular 2.45 GHz WiFi band is known among radio engineers as the
"garbage band," because of the user it was originally allocated for;
microwave ovens.

Those beauties are allocated to operate on 2.45 GHz +/- 50 MHz, a bit more
than the entire US WiFi band. And they are allowed to drift in frequency
over the whole band, which many of them do.

In my house I have had my Amana Radarange block both WiFi and an IBM
cordless phone until I changed ovens. Now interference only occurs when I
have the cordless phone near the router.

Remember, this is radio. All the code division, time division and
spread-spectrum digital tricks can not solve most radio interference
issues. If the received WiFi signal is blocked, squashed, walked on, or
just plain jammed, it ain't gonna work.
