[MLB-WIRELESS] SVEC Hack on XP

[Sebastian Najnert]

Hi,

 

I have done some playing around with the radio menu. I can't find my
results right now, but I think I set it up to maximum signal output
(which was ~4-6db increase measured using netstumbler). I then used a
network tool to measure the data throughput using tcp/ip. I struggled to
achieve 1mbit / sec between two SVECS within 1m apart while the signal
level was boosted to the maximum level.

I have played around with these settings a bit, following what Fenn
Bailey wrote on the SVECWLAP wiki entry.  I did the power hack but it
seemed to make the AP very unstable - the higher I set the power the
more often the radio dropped out entirely.  I didn't experiment too much
with all of the values you can tweak - but if you do make sure you write
down or screen-capture the original values!  I'm not sure that resetting
factory defaults will restore the original radio values.

 

The other interesting thing in the extra menus you get is the ability to
change things like the MAC Address and the regulatory domain.  You can
get channel 14 on the AP if you set it to certain domains.  But these
values won't stick.  There's a way to make the MAC address and
regulatory domain stick - I emailed the guy who's done it to the Linksys
models but it's over my head.  It involves compiling MIB files and
playing with MIB browsers.  Also it may not work for the SVEC.  But I
can forward the email he sent me to anyone who wants to give it a shot.

 

Also, if anyone can get their SVEC AP to work in wireless repeater mode
I'd like to hear from them.  Mine just hang when I try it.

You'll have to make the file.

 

Here's some reading material.

Hi,

 

I've read on the internet that their's a hack for the SNMP manager of
the SVEC AP. This involves changing enteries in a .ini file.

 

I'm running Windows XP, and can not find the .ini file specified.

 

Can anyone help me please.

 

Thanks


Adam.
