I've now moved to a place where the WiFi receiption
strength is almost 100%.
At my last place it was always on "very low" in
Windoze (~55-60% in WLAN manager).
So my network throughput is now much higher than it
used to be at the other place, yet I haven't gotten a
single crash yet.
Not that I'd be ready to make any bets here, but I
start to wonder if its not the throughput itself, but
rather the spikes (going from close to 0 up high) or
faulty transmission packages, due to lausy WiFi
transmisssion?
I don't know enough about the protocol to know if bad
packages would be rejected upfront or might still end
up messing up the TCP/IP stack.
The only thing I am sure of is that at my last place
before the last two, the WiFi signal quality was right
between my current one and the one with "very low".
And the frequency of crashes was also not as bad as
the last one, but still was happening once every 2-3
days.
Questions, questions...
