Ubnt advertises the -6 dBi beamwidth vs the typical -3 dBi. In the case of the omni, there's a -5 dBi falloff in the H chain at "0°" and "180°" On Fri, Apr 26, 2019 at 10:44 AM Robert Andrews wrote: > I also thought that UBNT also measured their antennas differently than > most everyone else? B

I also thought that UBNT also measured their antennas differently than most everyone else? But I believe they did so to give better numbers than competitors, which would actually give worse numbers to the cpe's in the field? Just saying that 13 ubnt does not equal 13 with anyone else? Best,

You could try that. Signal levels can change pretty significantly when you rotate omnis. The downtilt could be an issue, if it's a tall tower, and the clients are close... but in most cases, 1 degree vs 2 degrees isn't going to make a difference. On Fri, Apr 26, 2019 at 11:41 AM Jay Weekley wrote
