The experience with anything below 65-70% of rssi seems to fluctuate between 5.5 and 2 with some percentage of 11. But what I was getting at was even if it is 11 it is half-duplex so it would only be 4 or 5 but hey that's good enough for me, but you always want the best connection for the customer as well as you so they can't hijack the ap with a lower connection speed.
But if it's 50 now with no to little leaves, just ( I mean don't ) wait until Spring when leaves start getting really really juicy. We've got some 40's and 50's working at a distance but with good clear los, those numbers to me are on the bubble or fence so to speak, and any changes in environment ( leaves coming back ) will be a detriment. ;) Course then again there is the 10% black magic theory. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Wayland Sothcott" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2003 14:57:42 -0000 >Ah, thank you.
