1242AP how to check signal strength

I have a 1242 set up as a bridge tied to a solid dish. About 3 miles away I have 3 yagis set up as a non bridge working fine. I set a forth yagi say 800 ft away from a working yagi and the siginal works for a few minutes and then shuts down so I mounted a 50 ft. tower same problem so i replaced the yagi with a solid dish yesterday and my connection lasted the day and this morning it was down again.
There has to be a way to see the signal strength but I don't see it in the configuration. I swaped the unit with the one at a working location and it works just fine. The only thing I haven't done is try a different cable. I'm using a 100ft premade cable from Cisco.
Any help is greatly appriciated
Thanks

typically shows signal strength, and SNR along with a few otehr details when users connect.. While i have no experience with bridges, i would expect that this would have the same effect.
Hope it works for you.

Checking signal strength with cable box on

If possible, how would I be able to check the signal strength for one of my cable boxes while it is turned on? I know how to do it when it is off and I know how to do it with a digital adapter. I asked a whole back specifically regarding the Cisco RNG150N but I didn't get a response.

If it's a non-x1 RNG150, then I do not believe there is a way to do it with it turned on. Is there a reason why you don't want to turn the cable box off?

How to improve signal strength of TC ?

I have replaced my Linksys WRT54G Router yesterday with my TC 1TB.
Setup was a little bit confusing and not Apple like as i expected. However i got TC running with the following setup:
-) the TC is connected to my broadband modem and my main imac via ethernet. TC stands on the floor in the corner of our dinning room.
-) via airport i connected the MB and my second imac
-) Airport connection is set to "802.11n only 2,4 Ghz" with 22 Mbit/s
-) I get good signal strength from TC via my Macbook (located in the same room)70% singal strength according to istumbler
-) i get only 40% signal strength on my new imac which is located 2 rooms away - doors are usually closed between the rooms, and the roomwalls are 15-20 cm brick walls. On my systemmonitor i see max 2 MBit/s transfer rate sometimes even less.
Question:
How can i improve the signal strength of TC? Where is the best place to put it in a room ? Should i avoid placing it on the floor ?
Any other suggestions are welcome

Channel selection can make all the difference, 1 , 6 and 11 are the most widely used by professionals because they have less interference from the other channels. But they are widely used so two AP's can interfere with each other if they are on the same channel and in range of your devices. 2-5, 7-10 are garbage channels, too much interference (can tell from a good sniffer card)...stick with 1 or 11 which ever is less used (or not at all) in your area and mount it as high as you can and centered in the area you are providing coverage for. I found the TC uses its auto-setting pretty well, I have a lot of channels 1 and 6 in my neighborhood and it has always been on 11 when I check its status.
Also walls, doors, metal, windows, coordless phones (2.4Ghz) or 5Ghz) and microwaves all cause signal loss and interference. The density of the material will attribute how much loss there is so yes, brick will cause signal loss.

How come my signal strength dropped after 5.1.1 upgrade?

I downloaded ios 5.1.1 to my iphone 3gs,now i am experiencing problems with my signal strength,slower internet speed,and wifi cuts out,have to manually access through general settings.What is causing this and how do I solve it?

Can I determine my wireless signal strength?

I'm using a Verizon router MI424WR. is there a way to tell the signal strength I'm getting? I'm using a wireless network adapter for my TiVo box in the other room. My signal is not always good but don' Know if the strength is poor because of my wireless network adapter or my router.

Your TiVO I would imagine can display at least a part of the picture as to how the Wireless signal strength is. If it doesn't, should you happen to have a Laptop, placing the laptop near the TiVo may give you an idea of the strength as well since that would more than likely report the strength.

How to check 6 digital signals change value at the same time with PCI-6229??

I am using DAQ card PCI-6229.
Channel 1 generate a digital signal.
Channel 2,3,4,5,6,7 acquire digital signals.
I want to check:
1. Whether the rising edge of Channel 2,3,4,5,6,7 occures at the same time;
2. The time delay from the rising edge of Channel 1 to the rising edge of Channel 2,3,4,5,6,7 is within a certain range.
I know I can use counter to get the two edge seperation time delay. But I only have two counter, it is two time-consuming if I check one by one.
I don't know how to check the rising edge of 6 different channels occure at the same time.
Does anyone has any suggestions?
Thanks

Hello,
You can use the DAQ card's digital input change detection circuitry to detect changes in the input, you can then use a counter to measure the relative time between samples. Please read Page 6-9 DI Change Detection Applications for more information. Let me know if this helps

I just purchased a wireless connection for my Tivo but the signal strength from my airport express does not allow the tivo to load data. How do I increase the signal strength?

I just purchased a wireless N network adapter for the TIVO premier and am trying to use my apple airport express to connectand it is in the another room. I am only receiving one bar of strength on my network adapter. How can I raise the signal strength of my airport express.

There are several things that might help, not all of which would be feasible depending on your situation: (1) Move the TiVo unit and AirPort Express closer together. (2) Use another AirPort Express to "extend" the network of the first AirPort Express. Put the second AirPort Express half way between the first AirPort Express and the TiVo unit. (3) In the general case, Power-Line equipment might allow the TiVo unit to get a good signal, but it's likely that the Ethernet port of your AirPort Express is probably connected to your broadband modem, so that solution wouldn't work for you. (4) Changing the band or channel that the AirPort Express is using might help. If the TiVo unit is connection on the 5 GHz band, try one of the three-digit channels, which are allowed to use higher power.

How to view downstream / upstream signal strength?

Hello, Can someone please post the method of entering the hidden menu on the Xfinity DVR / Television equipment that displays the downstream / upstream signal strength (dBmV). I am in need of checking these signals for troubleshooting an issue. Thanks!

Update: Directions below, however the fields never populate with answers once in the menu. 1. Hold down exit button for more than 5 seconds
2. Press the down arrow twice
3. Press 2
4. Down to system and select DOCSIS *Downstream received should be between 8 and -8
Downstream SNR should be over 35

How can I read the mobile internals like Battery Status or Signal Strength?

Hi y' all ! How can read Battery Status or SIgnal Strength or even SIM Card. Is it possiblr first of all. If it is Platform independent?

There's no way to do that if you don't find some device specific apis

TS3623 I rented a movie and can watch preview perfectly with video and audio feed as signal strength is at top when I checked. However, when I purchased rental video is fine , but I get scratched sound for audio. Any thoughts to fix?

I rented a movie and can watch preview perfectly with video and audio feed as signal strength is at highest when I checked. However, when I purchased rental video is fine , but I get scratched sound for audio. Any thoughts to fix? I rented movie within week and it worked. All previews of movies and show also works.

I have a suspicion that the problem is not in the recording device itelf, but rather in the playback-software, which is struggling with an unfamiliar audio format/codec/whatever-it's-called... I opened the file in QuickTime Player 7 (7.6.6) and selected "Show Movie Properties" and it says:
"Video Track: H.264
Sound Track: Integer (Little Endian)"
All current Mac systems support Integer (both Big and Little Endian) audio natively. The fact you can hear anything at all proves that the audio is playing back. The most likely problem would be a malfunction associated with the mic pickup.

How can I query signal strength FROM an Aironet 1200 AP?

We are trying to query the signal strength of each connected client on Aironet 1200 APs from the AP.
Does anyone know of a way to achieve this?
We have examined the MIB documentation for an SNMP solution and have not found the reqired OID/MIB. This solution would be preferable, but at this point we are open to ideas.
Thank you.

Thank you and a follow up ...
Why is no data displayed in the Aironet 1200 SNMP MIB browse web interface when querrying this oid?
When I do a MIB browse from the SNMP web interface on an Aironet 1200 to OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.522.3.12.5.1.9 I do not receive any data in the MIB browse display. The extended statistics in awcTpFdbTable is enabled.
Thanks in advance

How to measure LTE signal strength?

Ive used LabView for years but have been away a while. so much is new. Can the USRP be used for testing LTE mobile signal strength? and decode various fields like mibs and sibs? signal to noise? CIR? if not, is there something that is able to?
thanks

Hello Bradley,
Here is a short video showcasing one application involving NI Software Defined Radio for an 8x8 LTE MIMO, along with an article describing the application:
http://zone.ni.com/wv/app/doc/p/id/wv-2864
http://www.ni.com/white-paper/14311/en
http://electronicdesign.com/4g/getting-ready-8x8-mimo
There is a lot of additional information about USRP available at the following sites:
http://www.ni.com/sdr/
http://www.ni.com/usrp/
http://www.ni.com/white-paper/8787/en
Note that the LTE application above utilized the FlexRIO with FPGA in their system. Using the FPGA allows you to fully customize your I/O to match the needs of your application, such as ensuring you have the bandwidth to handle LTE. USRP products have tunable center frequency options from 50 MHz to 6 GHz, which includes the frequency spectrum of LTE measurements. What exactly do you want to try and do with USRP and LTE? Are there any products in particular that you are interested in?
