I think worst signal you can use to connect is practically 83-84 and you will have speed troubles and packet loss. At least this is what I heard from my ISP. And I see some packet loss although my signal is 81-82 (on a high distance wireless connection). _______________________________________________ ath5k-users mailing list ath5k-users@lists.ath5k.org https://lists.ath5k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath5k-users
