You might be right, but since we never ran into a similar problem we never checked the antenna. Do you have any suggestion on how to check it?

Is your sector antenna performing as expected. I have tried some antennas that did not even come close to the specifications.

HMM once again I might have to agree you may be out of range do you have the power bar all the way up on the customer unit? Is the power setting all the way up on your APPO as well?? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cesar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 9:30 AM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] How do I improve a link? There are only two other APs available. One belongs to the customer, and the other one seems to be much weaker than mine. Also, I use channel 1 and the other two are using channel 11. -C�sar -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Blazen Wireless Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 9:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [smartBridges] How do I improve a link? HMM question when you go to site survey and click on choose from available access points are there any others listed besides yours? One other thing to try is switching channels I spent one night going from 1-11 and found those two great channels you may have to play around with them especially if there are other Access points around or near yours or the customer.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cesar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 9:08 AM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] How do I improve a link? Sully, Here are the answers: 1. We are not using LMR, other than the pig tail that connects to the Outdoor Radio. We are just using the CAT5 for data and PoE. 2-3. The antenna is aligned properly, at least we like to think so. When we mounted it we made sure to set it where the strongest signal was. In other words we did play with the azimuth and elevation. As you can see we have played with it in order to optimize it as much as possible. I am running out of options and do NOT want to put an Amp. This is a very nice customer that has a farm way out in the country side--he has to generate his own power. Thanks Sully, and please let me know if you have any more ideas/suggestions. -C�sar -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of The Wirefree Network Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 8:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] How do I improve a link? I am going to state a few more obvious points...because with those antennas, you should have a stronger RSSI at the client. 1. How much LMR cable (if any) are you using between the radio and the antennas? Hopefully you are not using LMR, just CAT5. 2. Is your Sector Antenna parallel to the earth or is it mechanically downtilted? Your RF may be falling short of the client. 3. After verifying the above, has your client antenna been properly aligned (tweaked)?

Sorry, I'm getting forgetful in my old age. The RSSI is 35% and the LQ is 65%. I'm using 90deg Sector Antennas, and yes he is within the RF path of the antenna. -C�sar -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of The Wirefree Network Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 8:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] How do I improve a link? Did you state somewhere what the RSSI and LQ is? With that setup, you should be getting around 70% RSSI. What degree sector panel are you using? Does your client lie within the RF spread of the antenna? Need the RSSI/LQ to give more advice. Sully -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cesar Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 8:07 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] How do I improve a link? Hi everyone, I need your help/advice on improving a customer's connection. He is 10.5 miles away from my APPO (14.5 Sector antenna) and there is a clear LOS. He is using an Outdoor airBridge and a 24dBi grid antenna. At this point in time there are no amps involved, but I am seriously considering to install one at the clients site. Do you think that an Amp would solve the problem? Or do you have something in your bag of tricks that I can use? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
