Equipment using the 5GHz band

    Does anyone know what equipment is using the 5GHz band, I know this is the license exempt band but I am having serious interference on my IBB Breeze connection. Is anyone else experiencing such problems around the Tallaght area? I am thinking this is a wireless CCTV or something along those lines as the problem seems to go away outside of normal business hours (9-5).

    Anyone any ideas. Is there a way to stop this from happening? :confused:

    Well I am assuming its interference as it cant be hardware, because if it was then it would be fecked all the time and not just intermittent. Am I correct in assuming this?

    What did customer service say? Get them to check your SNR (signal to noise)a couple of times during the day when it's a problem and compare it to when it's good. If it is interferance cutomer unit can be tweaked to a slightly different frequency

    If you're using a router check your stats on crc errors, resends ect.

    From day to day the SNR's fluctuate from 30 down to 10 so there is something there that is raising the noise floor up about 20dB. Sometimes the retransmits are as high as 100% :eek:

    Hmm thats interesting. Is it IBB's 5.8G product or the 3.5G you are using?
    Is the aerial diamond shaped or rectangular?

    If it were the 3.5Ghz radio it would be unlikely to be interference. However, 5.8 it is possible as these days 5.8 is becoming conjested. Ice Broadband certainly dont help by using Motorola equipment for their backhaul which uses up nearly all the spectrum just to maintain a connection for itself. There is now 5.8G dect phones on the market.

    IBB is 5Ghz but they drop your connection speed during 9-5 so that businesses get "better/usable" speeds (this has been conformed from IBB, I was on the businesses account)
