More likely that it's the CPE interfering if they were just converted.

I heard from one of our techs that the access point actually "killed" their inhome wireless router. Had to change channels. I think this customer was line of sight to the tower, maybe .4 miles away. Jeremy moved him to EPMP yesterday from canopy 900. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jay Weekley To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, September 03, 2015 9:27 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Can you be too close to use a dish? That was one thing that I was thinking about as well. If I got my azimuth correct and the guys on the tower got the antenna aligned correctly they should be on the outside of the main lobe but we've got two LOS customers at .75 and .4 miles that have signals in the -50's. I expected them to be in the -30's or -40's.
