We operate a hotel in the north of Scotland we
recently have wireless being installed into the hotel
although the Desktop PC's cabled directly into the
router which works fine, there appears to be a
problem with interference within the hotel with the
Wireless Signal from the router.
We have changed the router several times and
although the other systems in the hotel connect to
the network wirelessly for around five minutes then
the signal drops we cannot understand why or what
is interfering with the setup. Due to the
hotel being over three floors we installed a range
extender which correctly says connected and is
boosting the signal to and from the main hub.
Apart from this we have noticed that when the
router is replaced each time the old one remains
in the available networks for the wireless
connections, sometime with full bars on the signal
and sometimes without security enabled even though the
router says that the security is enabled on the
router setup screens.
The only thing that has changed in the building
recently before everything went wrong with the
wireless is the TV Ariel’s on the roof were
switched on as they was not on before although
we have tried switching the boxes off we still
feel that they will still be broadcasting some sort
of signal through them
Do you have any ideas on what we can try
next?
We have also gone as far as changing the router
channels and Ghz but still problem appears.
P.S. The router used that all do the same thing
as above are BT and Belkin Routers we are
currently using a Belkin Router.
