Lost a Job Because of Clearwire – User Submission by Rebecca
June 21st, 2008 | by Tim |I work from home and during the first week of my job their service starts going crazy. At first I thought it was my router because it would seem better as we rebooted the router so I replaced it with a new router of a different brand. Then about 2 days later the problem creeps up again. It happens to all the machines on the network no matter which one is being used. I can’t get out of the contract and I’ll use it for just a backup, but for $45.00 per month it sure isn’t worth it. I can get a way better connection with DSL or cable for that amount and if I really needed wireless I’ll just buy a Cantenna. When I try to explain it to them the CS person just points me to the speed test. Whatever. They know nothing about routes or anything important to do with networking. Why even bother?
These problems screwed up the job I had just taken so bad that I was let go that same week. Damn you Clearwire!
UGH CLEARWIRE SUCKS

First of all if your using a wireless router(2.4ghz), alongside a wireless modem(2.5ghz) certified service freq from a (wisp) as your source of internet.. You state …..”At first I thought it was my router because it would seem better as we rebooted the router so I replaced it with a new router of a different brand.

The devices would need to be about 3-4 feet apart or the error correction on your clearwire modem fighting with your wireless router to receive its service signal as the router sends you wi-fi to your laptop will hinder the modem until there are seperated far enough from one another not to interfere with one antoher! (3-4) Feet apart!
