Yeah, I would agree -89 is not good One of the installers that used to work for us went ahead and installed this customer anyways, and they actually worked great for the last 2 ½ years...

I�ve already tried every other 5 Ghz Frequency available (with a mix of different country codes), most with worse results. � Thanks, Justin just...@pdmnet.net<mailto:just...@pdmnet.net> �
