I never saw any of the earlier messages from this thread, but I have a 4 sq
mi mesh implementing right now. It is pretty much a tropical rain forest
without the rain. I was required to use a dual radio product that only
allows meshing on 5.8. The 2.4 is for client access only.
Due to the trees,
Tom,
Do you find this true for Trango 900 also?
I've not had good luck with those. Mine seem to quit working with the
first competition.
I do like them for scanning for noise; and the software switchable
horizontal / vertical is nice.

Good points Tom, particularly about the speed test. I also like the "hints"
button for common trouble shooting suggestions. Tough to write the text,

Tom,
I appreciate all of the useful comments. Please note that I posted updated
screen shots of the tool yesterday. Some of the changes that you are
requesting have already been implemented. For instance, the speed test has
been moved to a separate tab and now only runs if the subscriber switch
If your using an XR9 then you won't be using channel 11. it's gonna be
channel 4 through 7 in 5MHz incriments.
So you will want to not use anything that overlaps those channels very much.
Channel 6 will not be good, channel 11 and channel 1 will be fine.

When we diagnose a client, we are trying to discover six things...
1) Is the PC's Pri NIC active and configured for TCP IP
2) Can they reach their home router

4) Can they reach the far side Backbone edge of network.

If its being used as a speed test, its important that it is capable of

Its better to have no speed test than to have one that makes our network

Sorry, but the opposite is true. 802.11 is actually a good protocol to
combat noise, when the noise is someone elses.

As Jack said, all noise effects gear equally.
The question is what gear can filter it out better?
Some higher end product have better built in filters into their radios. A
good example is Trango Broadband.
Some radios have higher quality receivers so they can make out the distorted
signal bett
No amplifier reduces noise.
An amplifier always injects noise.
A low noise amplifier will inject less noise, and cause less noise for
others.
But I'd argue the goal is to avoid amplifiers all togeather.

Thats a short sighted opinion.
In theory, for the benefit of their Box, maybe yes. And I'm not challenging
the many benefits to routing.
But everyone doesn't use the box for the same purpose.
Not true for many appilications.

We've also collocated 2.4GHz and 900MHz radios using 2.4GHz frequency
up/down converters in the same enclosure before without issues.
The 900MHz radios implemented with the up/down converters have pretty
good filters that block non-900MHz frequencies.

I think that pfsense is probably the "easiest" answer, particularly
since it has hotspot URL forwarding built

Where do you think all the GOOD stuff comes from, as well??? ;)
Anyway... Dell did tell me that the reason their batteries are so expensive
right now is that a major battery manufacturing plant burned down. I had to

You could try batteryrefill.com - They did a good job with an old vaio

because shipments of the cells from China or whereever have been delayed.
Just ask them up front for timeframe.

I'm looking for a new battery for my Dell Inspiron 6400. Dell wants $300. Any

I was looking towards Interstate for $150 that has a similar capacity to my
