SM is bridged and has an RFC1918 IP.  Test would have to be run on-net.

I just tried a few ping tests from the (Cisco) tower router.  100 pings 
typically comes back around 4/10/35 for min/avg/max.  I ran 1000 pings though 
and got 4/11/48, ran another 1000 and got 4/12/248.  Zero packet loss, but 
apparently noise can cause an occasional latency spike, probably due to 
upstream.

Any chance of running 'mtr' against the CPE IP of house #2 and leaving it for a 
few hours?  I'm curious what the min/max/average latency looks like.

  So yesterday I did some tweaking on the sync parameters and was able to get 
better results.  I'll put the details in a second post, but I wanted to update 
the grim picture I painted the other day.

  As initially set up, I was only getting 1X MIMO-A, even on a 5 MHz channel 
and after trying a bunch of frequencies, and the SMs would not reliably stay 
registered.

  After tweaking the sync parameters and channel, I was able to get one sub to 
4X MIMO-B and the other to 2X MIMO-B, and increase the channel width to 7 MHz.  
They have stayed registered now for 18 hours and while the speed varies a bit 
they hold 4X and 2X.  Here are linktest results I just ran:

  subscriber #1
  2 miles with a few bare trees and apparently some multipath issues
  2X MIMO-B
  8.6M down, 4.4M up, 13.0M aggregate

  subscriber #2
  8 miles with 2 lines of trees and a house in the path
  4X MIMO-B
  14.6M down, 4.6M up, 19.3M aggregate

  The AP and subscriber #1 have bad interference across the band, interference 
is not as bad at subscriber #2.

  These numbers may not look great compared to 100M aggregate capacity, but 
they are around a 6 times improvement over what we had with FSK.  I'm sure we 
would see better results at another site with less interference, in fact I have 
another tower where we can run 2X FSK but 4M aggregate just isn't enough 
capacity.
