****This is an email****


Hi Paul~
Left you a voice message late this afternoon and 
knowing how busy you are,
decided to reply to your email. My new computer, 
apparently with the most
updated wireless advances (according to IBM and 
independent sources),
readily connects at a minimum of 54 Mbps at every 
wireless opportunity -
except in Todd Hall. Whether in a coffee shop, at 
home or a hotel lobby - it
just reliable goes to 54. Even around WOU, if I 
go to the library, it
immediately and dependably connects at 58! These 
data suggest that the
wireless card is working.  In Todd Hall, I very 
occasionally get to 36 but
most often stay at 24, which is at times even 
hard to browse effectively
with. For my admin job at TR, I am often going 
from office to office and
meeting rooms to meet with staff with my laptop, 
and accessing various URL's
and mail. It's pretty sluggish and we end up 
waiting on it.  Not sure when
you did the work today, but for a few hours (and 
only from my office) I did
get a 48 Mbps connection. By the end of the day, 
it was back to 24. Is there
something that differentiates the Todd routers 
from the library? Thanks very
much for having gotten back to me this afternoon.

John called back to say that it's still not 
working like it should be and he asked to talk to 
Paul directly.

Hi John,

You should have a better wireless signal now.
There is an access point a few doors down from
your office whose power supply failed.  I replaced
the power supply and it is up and working now.

signal in Todd Hall

John Reiman got a new laptop and he used to have 
a fast speed but he has a new laptop and it's way 
slow. He used to get 54 mps and now he is getting 
24/36 mps with his NEW laptop in Todd Hall. So he 
did a walk around survey and found that the 
Library, he had 66 mps and in finding this he has 
discovered that Todd Hall needs much more 
wireless service and coverage.
