Re: [WISPA] signal too hot!
I agree. I've had a few links that were way too hot, like in the -40's. I noticed packet errors in logs. Lowered the power to get it in the mid -70's and errors gone. On one I actually had to lower both units as far down as they could go. A 5 mile shot with minimal power.

Re: [WISPA] signal too hot!
On any gear I try to get the levels to around -65 and very close both directions. Things just seem to work better that way. I have also found on most of the Ubiquity SR and XR cards that setting the power to 2 points less than max works better than at max no matter what the signal level.

Re: [WISPA] signal too hot!
Better yet turn down the AP if all your CPE's are hot. You'd be surprised that a -85 becomes a -72 because it's not multipathing anymore with the lower AP signal and the hot signals are more in line. Plus if you turn the CPE down too far from remote they you lose connection and have to make a house call.

Re: [WISPA] signal too hot!
I had a customer like this - I just moved the CPE on the inside. Use that rubber stick to the glass mount. I know the Nanostations can, for your sake I hope the Locos can too, use a window mount (or wall mount) and put it inside the house.

Re: [WISPA] signal too hot!
They can, I even tested it but I've never had good luck with indoor installs. It seems they always have weird issues. Maybe new stuff is better?

Re: [WISPA] signal too hot!
Well if you added attenuation with the silo and polarity it would be similar to the window or wall adding attenuation. When a friend moved in and I needed to mooch Internet from the office (three 2.4 10mhz sectors) I just put some books on a jpole mount and the ns2 worked quite well. Wouldn't leave it for an install but it worked 99% of the time. On 3/2/10, RickG rgunder...@gmail.com wrote: They can, I even tested it but I've never had good luck with indoor installs.
