gotcha. we have a tower like that on our network and i'm considering using the new KP performance antennas that you can plug two APs into one antenna. I think we will also change out the APs for 450i this summer to get more PPS etc.
i feel your pain. seems like just as we get things upgraded something else need attention lol...great job security tho ;-) -sean On Mon, Jan 25, 2016 at 12:42 PM, Eric Muehleisen <ericm...@gmail.com> wrote: > All of the above.
