[snip] :No, it probably has more to do with the fact that they both operate in the :unlicensed but regulated 2.4Ghz band. [snip] That's not incompatible w/ my earlier surmise...as long as two frequencies aren't relatively prime, they can cause harmonic interfearence w/ each other. There are many frequency pairs in the 2.4 Ghz range that meet this criteria. FCC Regulation has nothing to do w/ the laws of physics. The fact that two devices operate in an unregulated range do not cause them to interfere with each other. I doubt the underlying electronics of the device are even aware of FCC regulation. [snip] :I strongly disagree with your methodologies. Please explain? [snip] I wasn't proposing a methodolgy, just one possible explanation of the cause of an event. Possible -- I'm not an RF expert by far. -- Meredith S. -----Original Message----- From: Al Potter [mailto:apotterat_private] Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2001 10:13 AM To: Meredith S Cc: pen-testat_private Subject: Re: Emulating a wireless access point -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii meredithsat_private said: > > Actually, it probably has to do w/ the frequency / harmonic resonance > of the phone interfearing w/the AP ... not the proximity. No, it probably has more to do with the fact that they both operate in the unlicensed but regulated 2.4Ghz band. You _may_ get some relief by manipulating the channel on the access point or on the telephone handset.
