In my experience if you don't have at least 75-80% RSSI & Link Quality that you will be unable to pass any kind of IP traffic. This would include DHCP requests and responses.
Work on getting the RSSI & LQ up in the 80s or higher, and get it to stabilize there and you should be fine from there.

If my link light on the SmartBridge stays on solid (high link quality 90% or better) then the client machine will get an IP address from the DHCP server. If the link quality falls to about 60% and the link light goes on and off I usually don't get a DHCP address. Any suggestions? I used Ethereal and the client is sending DHCP discovery and the DHCP server is sending a response. Is it fair to assume that if the connection with the client is not persistent that I'll miss my DHCP address assignment? Is there any way to make a DHCP server re-broadcast this several times? If I put in a static IP in the client computer everything works fine. Kevin D. Montgomery Solutions IT Consulting 135 S. Madison Ave Cookeville, TN 38501 ofc: 931-528-9010 cell: 931-265-4035 "..
