The only difference between 411 and 433 is 2 mpci and 2 Ethernet. Their
CPUs, RAM, etc. are the same.... obviously excluding any letter variants.

If you need the extra horsepower for whatever the reason you might as
well spend another 50 bucks. That's my thought at least.

If you are wanting to save cost's you can get along well with a 411ah.
1-ethernet 1-wireless good cpu. I have 65 clients on one with no issue.

433ah for sure.
PacWireless and xr2 would be my suggestion but I don't do anything in
2.4.

If it connects on ch 1 I doubt any water is in the connectors.
Antenna could be shot, though.

would be my next option, and probably moving to horizontal

You have heavy interference from somewhere else. Are there
Canopy's
in the area? Do you have other transmitters in the area?
Basically, when you go to G you are spending enough time in the
upper
channels where the interference is that you disappear to the
clients... G hops to all channels equally, whereas B spend
most
of
it's time in the set channel. You may need to sectorize...

2.4B, but i could change it to B/G if needed. Usage is
fairly
light, no
more than 1-2mb going through the AP at one time.
Sometimes
we
see a
spike to 3mb. We are routed, VLAN'd at each tower and
sometimes
AP.
This AP is using a 8db omni.
I know about hidden nodes, but i guess I'll need to read up
on
it more.
How do i check for them?

straight
802.11b then the max you are going to see through this is
probably
around 4mb/s and if your customers are all allowed 1.5mb/s
you
are going
to see frequent times when they are competing with each

are you seeing for hidden nodes? What's your physical
layout? Are
they off a sector or an omni? So much that this could
be.

We put up a RB532 late last fall to replace a Tranzeo
TR6600.
We had
noticed that on the 6600's that when you get more than 10
people on
them, they start performing very poorly. So, the
solution
that i had
been hearing was to move to a mikrotik box. At the time,
we
purchased
a RB532 board and have a SR2 wireless card. Worked great
for
the
first month, and since then it's back to slowing down and
we
are
starting to get complaints about slow speeds, etc. We
have
about 30
clients attaching to this one box, and they are limited
to
1.5mb dl
and 384k up. I thought this box would easily handle that
many
connections and data, but it doesn't seem to be keeping
up.
I'm
running the latest firmware on the board and am running
out
of
ideas
to tweak this. Any suggestions? Maybe need to move to a
faster box?
Ditch MT and go with another AP vendor?
