I just installed a 14 mile link with an AirBridge Outdoor and an AirPoint Outdoor.
Both units are connected to 24dBi wire grid antennas horizontally polarized. I believe there is no fresnel zone obstruction. I haven't had a chance to really test the throughput but what's blowing me away are the stated RSSI readings; The AirPoint is showing -23dbm to -27dbm (approx 80%) with a LQ of 87-90% The AirBridge is showing -42dbm to -44dbm (approx 60%) and LQ of 82-90% How is the Link Quality calculated (what does it mean) ? Also, since these are not routers and we don't run DHCP do I have to enter a gateway address in either unit? I used to use a *nix program named "bing" (bandwidth ping) to estimate throughput. Bing is estimating dismal throughput. I have not yet witnessed anyone pulling more than about 1/2 a megabit through the link yet. Are there any settings I can fine tune? With a PTP setup with only one client I would assume that I would not need to touch the RTS settings. Sorry, lots of questions ; What should I set the preamble to? Is there any way to test throughput from the NOC side of the link? Thanks for any info. It's always fun to play with some new gear.
