Josh hit the nail on the head... See what else in going on @ the CPE. Also - have you folks started using MTR instead of ping? MTR is like a traceroute on steroids In short - it combines the functionality of the traceroute tool and ping application together :-) It shows you packet loss

I have used that, but not here. It is not an IP issue, the radios drop association due to excessive errors, per the CPE. I have never seen the AP drop the link in the log. On 12/18/2010 7:57 PM, Glenn Kelley wrote: Josh hit the nail on the head... See what else in going on @ the CPE. Also -

Make sure the client radio is getting enough voltage? I have seen similar things happen that were fixed with a higher voltage/amperage power supply. Does this install have a long cable run or anything different than the others that might affect the input power? --John On 12/18/2010 7:46 PM,

I have xr9 cards that just suddenly keep dropping. Replacing them seems to fix it. One way to tell... force the card to use only the lowest modulation level for Tx. If card then stays associated, then very likely card bad... This works on the xr9... Not

I can certainly give them a different power supply. We use PACWireless 24 volt supplies almost exclusively and this is the only one with an issue, but could be bad power. Cable is only about 30'. The only other thing that may be different is installer did this one when it was about 10*.
