If you can pass data to your tower at -85, the card is good.
And, you have two know values to look at, your tower and the camera system.
Looks to me like you can do real world testing rather than hoping the
bench test is accurate.

Thanks for all the suggestions. We do field testing of new APs and such
in our boom trucks, but I'm thinking more along the lines of bench
testing radios in an isolated environment. We have a company nearby
with 2.4GHz cameras that eat up 2/3 of the spectrum. From my desk, I
get about -85dBm fro
Your plan sounds good.
We have a guy take the radios and a laptop up to the third floor of our
building where we have LOS to multiple APs of ours of multiple technologies.
He'll make them associate, evaluate signal levels, run some traffic over it,
and if it's good, set it back to defaults. Par
Now thats a long extension cord! :)

If you have a ladder rack/utility bed on the truck, you can do what we did.
We took one of those Trango rounded steel plates and mounted it to the side
of the ladder rack. We then put a 5ft+ pipe through that, let it rest on
the bed and we have a mobile pipe mount! We have a cat5 cable ran from
We usually just test a few miles from a tower. A laptop, canopy,
extension cord, spare parts and tools. It's not soo much fun in
winter weather, but we make sure that signals are within 3-5 db of
each other. We know what we should be getting from our test location,
we also run a 30 second bandwi

Hi,
We tend to get radios back from techs with notes that say something like
"bad radio" or "low signal." Things that aren't obviously broken tend
to sit around and collect dust.
Does anyone have a efficient way to test 802.11a/b/g radios? Most of
our equipment is MikroTik, so my plan was to do
