Corrupt x64 RSSI

[img]

Hello,

On an initial trial of inSSIDer, I find it displays erratic RSSI data from a RealTek WNA1100 USB wireless adapter, on a PC running 64-bit Windows 7. The RSSI often jumps to very high level signals (-10 dBm indicated) on channels that are down in the noise (-95 dBm).

The PC is dual boot. On the alternate boot (32-bit Windows XP) and the same USB adapter, inSSIDer seems to work fine.

The 64-bit issue wasn't affected by updating to the latest 64-bit RealTek driver, or by trying an older 64-bit version of inSSIDer rather than 32-bit inSSIDer 2.1.

Can you suggest a fix? Attached is a 64-bit time plot showing the problem.

Hello img,

This generally happens when inSSIDer receives a null value from the wireless card and is handled by setting the value to 0 which results in the jump. We are actually working on making so instead it stops drawing the line. The jumps can be very confusing!

Hello Stephen,

Thanks for the reply. For information, I find that the jumps don't happen when inSSIDer is run from inside the XP Mode 32-bit virtual machine running under 64-bit Windows 7. Strange.
