RE: [WISPA] StarOS/WRAP/CM9 Issue
Since clients are talking to this particular CM9 I assume your using a sector or an omni? Are you using Coax surge protector that is properly grounded? Atheros cards are using a rf selector switch which is fairly sensitive and easily get damaged which results in about 20dB signal loss which in many cases means no association from clients. The other radio is also a CM9 but your using a highly directional antenna that don't pick up as much static energy as an omni (worst ones) or sector. / Eje -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of KyWiFi LLC Sent: Sunday, October 15, 2006 14:46 To: WISPA List Subject: [WISPA] StarOS/WRAP/CM9 Issue We are experiencing a recurring problem with one of the WRAP boards running StarOS with CM-9 cards in our network.

Re: [WISPA] StarOS/WRAP/CM9 Issue
I had something vaguely similar happen... The radio would stop passing data. It turned out to be a client at around 10 miles that had set his cpe for G mode and was rapidly bouncing back and forth between G and B and up and down speedwise. Set him to B and no more misbehaving. +++ neofast.net - fast internet for North East Oregon and South East Washington email me at mark at neofast dot net 541-969-8200 Direct commercial inquiries to purchasing at neofast dot net - Original Message - From: KyWiFi LLC [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Sunday, October 15, 2006 12:46 PM Subject: [WISPA] StarOS/WRAP/CM9 Issue We are experiencing a recurring problem with one of the WRAP boards running StarOS with CM-9 cards in our network.
