What is between the two antennas, physically?  Our 4 sectors are mounted on a grain elevator (two on the north side (NE&NW) and two on the south side(SE&SW)) and when we tested with the same channel, on the same side, the signal strength of our clients would drop by at least 40%.    Is there a reason you are not running different channels? Try running your two APPOs on 1 and 11.   --- Colorado WISP llc. http://www.cowisp.net Bringing high speed internet to rural communities. P.O.

Okay guys here is a question I know SB says they can have up to 128 clients associated to the APPO. I have aprox 22 on each one and they are totally crapping out by that mean I get 4-5 users on downloading at any given time and I swear to you pings just go to hell as high as 200-300 and lows about 30ms. I have tried EVERYTHING RTS CTS different channels WEP no WEP anything and everything and it has got me by the balls and I am tired of clients calling me complaining it is slow. It used to be awesome with 4-5 users total on it and even 10 users but after that its just gone down hill.   Any suggestion would GREATLY be appreciated.   two APPO's each connected to a 500mw Amp 50 ft of coax LMR 400 and then to a 13DB 90* pac wireless ant one facing north and one facing south both on chan 3 I know I know you will say interference from each other I tried separating and it made no difference it actually got worse I even had one appo in client bridge mode to check interference and I saw nothing form the APPO right next to it and very few other Access points out in the field. Most were at rssi 20 maybe 30% and link 20%.     PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me with any ideas I am all out I have worked on this all week I have a remote pop that is fed by the main two APPO's and the two customers on that radio can ping the remote appo all day long with less then 5 ms yet when you try and ping the main appos the pings are all over the place..   Oh yea most all signals at eh APPO's from the client show (not sure how accurate) 80 -100 RSSI some just under 80% and link about the same so I don't know if this could hamper it I have tried with a couple clients setting the APPO and ABO to autofallback speeds and that seemed to help for a couple people that were far out about 4-5 miles people up close seem to be fine..   13-19db ants on each install   HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP     Martin
