Your partially right Tower is only 65 foot, but difficult to get to in good weather using a quad, and it has been raining all day. No one want to climb a tower in the rain. I have changed channel and it seems to be stable. I hope! NGL Sent: Saturday, November 20, 2010 4:43 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Dropping Clients
I take it the tower is fairly high so you're resisting climbing to swap it out?

We had some light rain yesterday started about noon, and rained on and off, the same thing this morning. We had some very hard rain and strong winds the end of October, and encountered no problems. I am going to try switching channels with another AP on that tower .

We had a similar problem where the antenna was not sealed tight and everytime it rained hard clients would drop off, but after a few hours of sun shining on the system they'd be fine until the next heavy rain storm. The thing that threw us off was that light or normal rain that didn't last long didn't seem to affect the antenna, only heavy rain with maybe some wind thrown in the mix. Then on a different note, we've recently been battling an issue where on one of our 5GH systems clients were all dropping off at very random times...Turn out damn BAE systems down the road was testing frequency hopping radar crap and every time it hopped into the frequency we were using, the clients dropped off.

The AP is a TR-902 11f which has an internal antenna. The clients that were were dropped were a mix of nearest and furthest from the AP.

Also check the SWR, should be about 1.3/5. I would guess that the clients being dropped are the ones furthest away, if the AP is losing power or the antenna is wet or damaged and losing signal.

I would suspect there is an issue with that AP. I'd swap it out with a known good AP and see if that helps. Otherwise, you may be having some interference issues on that sector which would mean you'll need a cavity filter. On that note, can you run a spectrum scan to see?

I have rebooted the AP and some of the clients, with no success. I have no idea what is wrong. Now I see that 2 have come back.. Any suggestions? Thanx NGL If you can read this Thank A Teacher.
