Re: [ath9k-devel] 4.9GHz and 5.8GHz regulatory entries?

Do you know this document of FCC?
It describes all about the actual situation in us.

Re: [ath9k-devel] 4.9GHz and 5.8GHz regulatory entries?

2013-06-05 Thread Josef Semler
Do nothing know about FCC. As I know ist open in us without tech.
Regulations like dfs or tpc. (No disturbance of radar devices in this area)
In Europe (like Austria) the channel 149-165 are used for comm. services
acc the srd-specification but are NOT ism and has to be coordinated by the
local frequency office.

[ath9k-devel] Cross-Modulation distortion on UBNT devices

2012-10-21 Thread Josef Semler
Hi Adrian
We are using NanoStantion and ArirGrids with last OpenWRT trunk and ath9k
also in cowded situations and with heavy signals on neighbour channels.
Do you have any info about the maximum input signal which can be handled
without bit-errors and if the preamp is part of a working AGC.

Tnx JoeSemler, Vienna

Tnx  Shashank!
And who can explain, wether there is an equivalent uci-command deployed for
openwrt to control the mcs-rates via the wireless config? (Knowing that is
the wromg question for ath9k-devel, but it fits perfect to the topic)

Tnx Joe

Installed OpenWRT für ubnt-nano on a Nanobridge. Well, NanoBridge should be
2x2 MIMO, but the device shows me AR7240 rev.2
Is this a a EEPROM-lie and how can I correct it?

OK, tnx Sujith, but that brings me to my next question acc. 2x2 or 3x3 on
OpenWRT-based devices like NanoStation M or AirBridge M.
Up to now only 1x2 or 1x3 was possible on this devices. Do we have
changings there too?

Hope u get the infos for the LNA-gain bug out of the company.
We noticed in Vienna, that near all UBNT Products should have the problem.
A comparison between Bullet M, NanoStation, NanoBridge ans AirGrids shows,
that only Bullet M has the expected sensitivity. Guess it has 2do with the
LNAs.

Good luck
