I understand we have had one or two bad radios as well. Something to look out for. We've only installed a handful of radios

I get -44 signal 95% Quality and 96% capacity and speedtests as pictured. What is the problem with the EPMP equipment. So far I am not impressed. IF the EPMP thinks the noise floor is -60 ish and a UBNT has no problem getting great thoughput I guess we will stick with the UBNT -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Craig House" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, January 23, 2015 6:25:52 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Epmp newbee Ok so as an experiment I moved my 2.4 FSK omni to the same channel that this EPMP sector was on at the same height on the same tower. All 41 customers reconnected to the fsk omni and all link tests are in the upper 95% and better on all customers So why would this spectrum be so dirty for the 90 degree EPMP sector but usable and great link tests for the FSK omni at the same height.? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Craig House" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, January 22, 2015 8:24:27 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Epmp newbee Cant use 5Ghz All my BH links are in 5ghz and I cant get though trees with 5ghz. 90% of my customer base is behind trees. This is not the tower I plan on leaving it on. But I dont understand why the noise floor would be that high here. It is 3 miles from any town and sits in the middle of nothing.

But what is the trick to making it show available SS IDs to connect to sort of like the scan available access points feature in ubiquity? The second question is that even a very close distances and was very good signals like -53 I have difficulty getting good uplink capacity the quality seems to be reasonable 90% or above but the capacity varies from 15% to 45% most of the time and it's obvious in the speed test that the uplink is not doing what it should What am I doing wrong photo is attached of what I'm talking about in the second question Sent from my iPhone
