I'd like to see that interpretation where it states that a AP (unit used in point to multipoint base station) can do 48dB last time I checked it was still max 36dB for the basestation but 48dB for the CPEs. I would love to be able to 48dB sectors instead of 36dB sectors for my basestations.

JH> Remember when calculating your total output that the FCC only allows 36dBm EIRP (4 watts)! Transmitted power must be configured correctly to prevent potential interference problems due to the JH> effective isotropic radiated power exceeding the limits as defined in FCC part 15.247(i). As defined in FCC part 15.247(i), the power transmitted by the transmitter can only have a maximum power JH> level of 1 watt or 30dBm. The antenna can only have a maximum gain of 6dBi. If the power at the transmitter is lowered by 1dB, the antenna gain can be increased by an additional 3dB. For example, JH> if an installation reduced power at the transmitter to 29dBm, it could use an antenna having a gain of 9dBi. In general, for every 1dB power reduction at the transmitter from 30dBm, an JH> installation can add 3dB gain at the antenna. A breakdown of transmitter versus antenna gain is as follows: 30dBm transmit - 6dBi antenna ... 29dBm transmit - 9dBi antenna ... 28dBm transmit - JH> 12dBi antenna ... 27dBm transmit - 15dBi antenna ... 26dBm transmit - 18dBi antenna ... 25dBm transmit - 21dBi antenna ... 24dBm transmit - 24dBi antenna JH> Your 5Watt amp translates to 37dBm on its own without the radio or antenna. JH> But back to your problem with speed. Change the mtu size on your clients to something higher than factory Microsoft, and set the Fragmetation Threshhold to about 1496 (play with this setting to JH> get the best result) JH> Please be weary of uncle Charley, he may pay us all a visit when we least expect it.
