Good point, but that's not the problem in our case. We also noticed
that the ON sequence delay setting affects the cycle time as well.
The default setting is often too fast and won't actually powercycle PoE

We provide health insurance for employees. To keep absolute costs down, we go
with a high deductible for our employees, though to offset the costs in the
cast of anything major, we pay the first $1000 of the deductible on behalf of
the employee.
We have 5 employees. Owners have to pay for
though something major could include a cast, I mean to say in the CASE of
anything major ;)
And owners pay for their own because we are an LLC. As I understand it, if

therefore you can get health insurance paid just like

is after the event is done, you will have a set of radios you can use in
another part of the network for up to a 30 mile shot.
Configure:
One as AP WDS
One as Station WDS.
10MHz channel
Max Tx Rate Automatic

Oh, and adjust output power to provide -65dB at each end.
