Almost all of my links are 65% RSSI or higher. Many of them are around 80-90 with 30dBm and LinkQuality around 92% or so. Is this normal? I had another WISP guy looking at my numbers and he thought my -30dBs were "unheard of". He said they should never go above -60%. (He doesn't use smartBridges). Is this good or bad? ..or just not accurate? Also, I have an airPoint that might be flaky: from one site 5 miles out, using a 19dB panel, the RSSI was around 85% and LinkQuality was around 90%. It dropped packets like nobody's business. Associating to one of my airPointPros (65%RSSI, 70% link quality --I think!) would give it 100% throughput with no packet loss. Why is the LinkQuality number so high when the link was, in fact, quite bad? Should I blame the ap or the client equipment? (the client says he's now dropping packets again even though he's on the airPointPro that was acting fine the other day). Thoughts?
