Use each as a guide and test both upload and download to find the best combination for your particular area. If there is one thing I've learned with any of this wireless stuff it's that EVERY installation is different.
For testing both upload and download use the speed test at http://speedtest.dslreports.com. It uses a javascript applet to perform the tests. I'm working on something similar. Once I get it working I'll post a link here where the WISPs can download it to use on their local networks.

But the airbridge has the higher reading.(better than the ap shows). I dont get it. So you do not really go by one or the other? ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2003 1:40 PM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Which signal to read? That's exactly spot on! :) looks like the access point doesn't hear the airbridge very well. This may result in a slower than desirable upload speed. What you want to do is get the access point to hear all your clients at about the same RSSI.. it's not so critical if the airbridge sees the ap at a lower RSSI. cheers, Paul ----- Paul C.

My guess is that both are correct, keeping in mind how RF really works. One radio is reporting what it sees and hears while the other radio is reporting what it sees and hears. Only in ideal situations would you see the same exact numbers on both ends. Just my humble opinion, but I could be wrong... Michael ----- Original Message ----- From: Jerry Carter To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2003 1:15 PM Subject: [smartBridges] Which signal to read? I have all smartbridge network. I check the signal at the appo and it says 52% rssi and 85 Quality. I log into the airbridge and it tells me it has a 82% RSSI and a 92% Quality. Now I would rather believe the airbridge. But I need to know for sure which one to look at when installing.
