Better yet turn down the AP if all your CPE's are hot. You'd be surprised that a -85 becomes a -72 because it's not multipathing anymore with the lower AP signal and the hot signals are more in line. Plus if you turn the CPE down too far from remote they you lose connection and have to make a

My theory on this is you are not pushing the card to the max. Kind of like not driving a car flat out 100 percent of the time. --- Justin Wilson On Mar 4, 2010, at 7:06 PM, Scott Reed wrote: > On any gear I try to get the levels to around -65 and very close both > directions. Things just

On any gear I try to get the levels to around -65 and very close both directions. Things just seem to work better that way. I have also found on most of the Ubiquity SR and XR cards that setting the power to 2 points less than max works better than at max no matter what the signal level. Ryan

We're just starting with WiFi using a Wavion AP and Nanostation CPE, now encountering the quirks. We're having this issue at some sites. Is the only solution to introduce attenuation? I just installed an NS2 at my house which is about a half mile from the AP. With everything at default settings

Well if you added attenuation with the silo and polarity it would be similar to the window or wall adding attenuation. When a friend moved in and I needed to "mooch" Internet from the office (three 2.4 10mhz sectors) I just put some books on a jpole mount and the ns2 worked quite well. Wouldn't l

They can, I even tested it but I've never had good luck with indoor installs. It seems they always have weird issues. Maybe new stuff is better? On Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 6:56 PM, Josh Luthman wrote: > I had a customer like this - I just moved the CPE on the inside.  Use that > rubber stick to the g

I had a customer like this - I just moved the CPE on the inside. Use that rubber stick to the glass mount. I know the Nanostations can, for your sake I hope the Locos can too, use a window mount (or wall mount) and put it inside the house. Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1

I know, we just discussed this topic a few weeks ago. I've got a new customer who is right next to a grain silo and the issue is that it drops their connection with XBox. I'm not getting complaints from anyone else. The CPE is a NS2Loco and the signal is -29! I've already have it aimed up at the sk
