The USB extension would be for the WiSpy device you'd hook to the antenna. That way you have plenty of cable and don't have to assume a difficult position. I have the 2.4G version of the WiSpy but not the 5.8. It can tell you a lot for a simple device.
Is there any sort of nearby transmitter where they might have turned up the power? Did someone deploy Canopy close to you? I'd loan you my magic wand, but mine broke. -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of RickG Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2010 7:29 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Ubiquiti Link - Poor Performance Yes, I use a netbook cause its so easy to take up the tower. I have no tried a USB cable on a Rocket yet but I added a "spare" Ethernet cable last night. No help.
