WLAN - Network Errors

« on: June 06, 2016, 10:25:59 pm »

Hello,
I've a apu2 board with a Ralink Wireless Card. I run the system as Access Point. WLAN work fine, but I've a lot of errors on the WLAN Interface.
Maybe it’s a Problem with the Hardware, or with my config or maybe it’s normal. What do you say? Do you have errors on your WLAN interface to?

Hy!

Using ralink stick for WAN interface,

although everything is stable regarding connections, yes, there are a lot of these errrors, but nothing in the log file. So I don't really care, as long as there is no loss of connectivity... :-)

Especially with WiFi, packets and other radio noise can degrade and pollute the transport media (as in "air") so that collisions and errors are unavoidable.

This is a harsh contrast to switch-based full duplex dedicated lines which only show errors when the cable is damaged where only ever one side talks and collisions cannot happen.
