Getting it to recognize the SB gear at 10Mbit wasn't really the

problem. It's mainly a problem when you connect something

else to the switch that doesn't run half duplex. There are certain

combinations of gear that will cause various problems, and the

end result is much slower speeds than you should be getting.

 

Those that seem to have resolved this either bought a managed

switch and stuck it in place forcing everything plugged into it

to go to 10Mbit Half Duplex, or they were lucky and didn't see

a problem in the first place.

Subject: [smartBridges] AP speeds

I have 2 APPO about .5 miles away on a 200ft tower with Cell antennas on them.  They are connected to a switch(auto sensing) which is connected to an ABI in NEMA enclosure.  This set up seems to work great when I am on the tower and connected to the switch with a laptop.  I get a full 1.54 in speed tests but when I am about .5 miles away using a API or ABI to connect my speeds barely passes 500k.

 

It looks like once I go through the AP's the speed goes down.  Anyone know what may be happening here?

 

I have seen the "switch" posts regarding collision and not recognizing the SB equipment as 10Mbps but I am not sure this is happening because of my experience with the laptop on top of the tower.

 

On another note I would like to find a small and cheap managed switch that I could program to stay at 10mbps.

 

Any information is appreciated.
