We have tried both sectors and omni both with and without dishes we have a great deal of difficulty keeping customers connected to the APs even at very short distances We have multiple customers that are 1 to 2 miles away with a dish that are getting -68-ish signals but will reregister 5 to 6 times a day or more We have a 4.8 mile shot on a dish that we can't get good throughput on even though it doesn't drop registration we are trying to run in a 20 MHz channel however At this point we have pretty much given up on them and started taking them all down but I thought it was worth asking in case we were using the wrong antennas
