Collisions are translated into "packet loss" if I am not mistaken I think on both the CPE radio and AP. Lowering the RTS CTS threshold will help minimize that issue. Usually the ability to change these settings you will find on higher end radios. This is not found as a feature on the linksys stuff for example which is NOT designed for heavy use in a WISP environment.
