[WISPA] Sector separation/isolation

We are still experimenting with aligning sector's on our towers. We are attempting to use 3 120 degree/13db/6.5 vb/7 degree downtilt, antennas to cover 360 degrees. I just inspected the towers myself, and noticed they are setup at 30 degrees/150 degrees/290 degrees (so they aren't right exactly

If the docks have AC power all along them, have you considered using BPL of some sort? I have many docks in my area asking about internet service, and many times 2.4 ghz across water is a fun experience. I know some companies such as Tendnet make a wireless 2.4 AP that derives it's Internet sour

I can try that, can you tell me why that would make a difference though with the AP's seeing each other at such signal levels? Will changing to 10mhz channel width's cause the AP's to see each other at a lower RSSI? Regards Michael Baird > Use 10mhz channels instead of 20mhz. > > Kurt Fankhauser

Right now channel 1 uses channel 1, 2 and 3. Channel 6 uses 4-8. When you go to 10MHz channels 1 will use 1 and 2. 6 will use 5, 6 and 7. Therefore, you are no longer on adjacent channels, there is a gap of channels 3 and 4 between. Also, you will cut down on the amount of other noise you h

Keep in mind that this is not necessary true depending what chip set the card is using. For example the SR2 cards will always listen to 20Mhz even if they only transmit on 10MHz or even 5MHz. While for example a XR2 set in 10MHz mode will only listen to 10MHz. /Eje CTO WISP-Router, Inc. Sent

There's another linux program out there called BFD that does the same thing: parses logs and creates IPTABLES rules, but it doesn't use python. Google it and see if it will work for your application. Also, this might go without saying, but I'd recommend against applying any router-based rules t
