Wireless-G LinkSys Model WAP54G random Internet... (by 3 users)

posted by computech7 on Sep 10, 2007


I have 30 computers hooked up to this system. Each computer has a separate external wireless card plugged into the USB port (from Dell). We are hooked to the school Novel network system

I have random access to the Internet at times which means a random 1-6 of the 30 computers are not connecting to the Internet. I've tried resetting the Internet hookup on the task bar, unplugging and replugging the wireless card and/or wireless G Access Point and sometimes this works. Sometimes resetting the computer will work.

I currently have 5 computers that will not connect to the Internet (not random).

Are there any other tricks I can do that don't involve our tech people so I can receive immediate access? I have 30 students in each class and we rotate every 42 minutes so, as you can see, time is of the essence.

Thanks!

i think the problem is that when there are a number of pc's sharing the same wireless network the bandwith has to be shared and can be with upto 255 pc's.

Connecting 255 computers to a single WiFi access point, while theoretically possible, is not recommended. Performance of such a network will be very poor. Install multiple access points instead to distribute the network load. By adding more access points to the network, effectively any number of computers can be supported (though the network becomes progressively more difficult to manage).

On a home network, while dozens of computers and other devices may connect to the router, the performance of a shared Internet connection will quickly degrade as more computers access the Web simultaneously.
