Duplex mismatch on the ethernet ports?  I would expect you to see a problem
with both up and down at that point but...  Are you using the same ip
address on both the old and new AP's?  ARP tables may be a problem?

Subject: [smartBridges] Slow download speed

I just installed an APPO on Sunday, with 3' of LMR400 going to a Pac
Wireless 16dbi 90 degree horizontally polarized sector antenna. It's 100'
high on the side of a water tower.

I'm seeing significantly improved signal strengths at customer sites than I
was getting with the old 14.5dbi Maxrad on my first access point, but
download speeds are terrible. I'm seeing around 1200k upload speed fairly
consistantly (figure my T1 is the bottleneck there) but the download speed
is very variable. Anything from the test failing, or maybe 90k or sometimes
several hundred k. When I switch back to the original access point (rotate
the antenna for correct polarity) the performance improves.

Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this? I'm going to try an 18v
power supply since there is about 150' of CAT5. Any other ideas what might
be causing it? I'll confirm soon whether the 18v helped.

Thanks,
Roger
