Are you using an APPO for your ap? It is my understanding that the the smartbridges radios do not have any timing issues up to 21 miles. I have not tested them so I can not say. Anyone else have long distance limits between 12 and 21 miles? What sort of speeds do you see?

Composition of the wall can play a big part. Then again so can distance. All of our clients are no less than 3/4 of a mile from the towers, and as far away as 7.2 miles. There's one at 16.5 miles, but he's a special case. He took a chainsaw out and cut down the trees that were blocking his signal. Then (after signing a waiver saying that we didn't do it) added an AMP to his setup and he's getting 100% RSSI and 98% LQ. Because of timing he's only passing 300Kbps, but he's happy with that. :-) Kevin Summers KISTech Internet Services Inc. www.kistech.com > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Kevin Montgomery > Sent: Monday, July 21, 2003 8:05 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [smartBridges] DHCP help > > > No trees.
