Smaller channel sizes is one thing we haven't done yet, but we can'd do it permanently unless we swap out a few CPE's. Have a couple of older Tranzeo's and an older Deliberant or two that don't support smaller channel sizes.
Appreciate the info and help. We are going to try it on the Test AP we have up to see if it makes a difference on the couple of clients we have on there right now. -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Mike Sent: Thursday, October 01, 2009 11:47 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] To G or not to G :-) I have a lot of Deliberant CPE in my network, just a few of their APS. But the newer generation stock with Atheros cards supports 20/10/5 MHz channels. From their site, concerning the Duos: Product contains: * Dual-Radio with adjustable RF Output Power * Rugged cast aluminum hinged enclosure * Full, half, and quarter bandwidth channels * Multi-BSSID support (VSSID) with VLAN tags * PoE built-in for single cable installation * Configurable Multi-mode AP * AP mode/AP client mode * WDS * AP router/AP client router * AP repeater * Redundant PtP bridge with STP At 11:37 AM 10/1/2009, you wrote: >Yeah, I think they use the same cards -- Willi Atheros.
