No, you are not pushing a stable '54mbps over the link without issue'. More likely, if you cared to look, you are getting somewhere around 30-35mbps, HALF DUPLEX. The '54mbps' advertised on the shiny sales brochure, is a signaling rate and not a measure of thruput.

Signal strength is consistently -40 dBm +/- 2 dBm, from about -80 dBm before! Total cost included 2x Bullets, 2x PoE adaptors, and approx 40 ft of STP cat5: $120. I have yet to see what happens in a big thunderstorm, but I extrapolate that they will be able to handle the EMP without going haywire like before. They have worked very well through conditions that our last setup would not. Thanks again for the input everyone! Peter More an FYI as I'm not overly familiar with Ubiquity's, but I believe -40dBm is kind of a hot signal which means they are screaming at each other, are you seeing any physical errors, specifically CRC's?. Won't necessarily affect overall throughput, but -60dBm is the sweet spot...too much of a signal is just as bad as not enough...sort of like that Sienfield episode of the the close talker :). Bret
