RE: [smartBridges] AirNic USB

[John Gantt]

The panels you are testing may be both horizontally and vertically polarized. Look on the back of the panel and see if it has horiz / vert arrows. If so, try rotating the panel in the other orientation. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Rob Cleminson Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2003 1:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] AirNic USB I have a question?   I have an AP Pro Outdoor mounted up a 45 metre tower with a 13dbi 90% sector antenna �   I went 1 mile away with my laptop and an AirNic USB with the short stubby � I was able to get a 75% signal strength and 90% Link Quality � I then attached a 12dbi Cantenna to the AirNic and the signal dropped � I also tried an 18dbi Panel Antenna and again the signal was not as good. � Why is this? � I had perfect line of sight.   I want to find a good quality customer antenna that is not too expensive and that will give me a better reception?
