Same OS, same chipset, same radio ns2/ps2, only difference is the antenna size and case. Regards Michael Baird I'm hearing to avoid the ns2 and go with the ps2/5. Less issues. What do folks say? I've been putting some decent load in both a hotspot and point to point configuration

The PowerStation2 has a second Ethernet port but the PowerStation5 does not. Obviously, you would want to use the PS2 with the external connections for the hotspot and the one with the panel antenna for the point to point. From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On

Had to add that the nanostation2 has adaptive polarization, will operate in both vertical and horizontal and will switch back and forth depending on the signal. Unless of course you use an external antenna which can plug into the SMA connector it has just for that purpose. Out of all the things

I would also be interested to know if anyone has deployed NS2's in a sectorized AP configuration and what results were seen. Could one use full power (channels 1,6,11) with little horizontal separation and no vertical separation? Would vertical separation be mandatory? Greg On Jun 27, 2009,

PS2 has an ethernet jack (two), and a reset jack, no external antenna connector without the PS2-external model. I just answered the question posed, they are the same hardware and run the same os, they offer the same reliability. We've also deployed a number of both, no difference's, other then

Half array (a full array would be 6 of each, NS2 and NS5). I'm only covering 180 degrees because the other direction is a lot of trees and the business condo district is on the side that's covered. Each NS2/NS5 is approx. 60 degrees (55 or so?) so it takes 3 to cover 180 degrees. -

Thanks! Now I get it. But the 60/55 degree rating is just where the power drops 3db right? There must be a lot of bleed over between the sectors where the signal from one or more AP is strong. What happens when a client see two APs with the same level? Does the 802.11a/b/g/n protocol
