A "poor man's" repeater" sometimes requires a "poor man's solution." Probably whichever way you point it you will get signals from several paths. You could impact other users on the sector.
1) move the CPE inside. You could use one of the Deliberant AP2i radios with a small rubber ducky antenna. You can reflash one with the CPE2 code to be a CPE. (Let me know if you need help there.) 2) pad the radio card with a known level of attenuation. I don't know how much room is inside the bullet? Consider a radio in a "pocket" where you can coil up a length of coax with connectors as an attenuator. Necessity is the mother of invention.

I've got several "poor mans repeaters" around by using a pair of bullets, one for backhaul and the other for the AP. Today, I installed a Bullet on a new customer that was a stones throw away from the AP. At full power, he got just under 1Mbps. Turning down the power, he got 3Mbps+. Is turning down the power on the CPE side on a test and trial basis or is there some kind of method to it? -RickG ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
