My experience as well.The mount is wayyy to flimsy. Equinox has some much heavier duty mounts which I hope to get my hands on in a week or two. They would fix that flimsy thing right up and make it quite solid. I have seen an example of one that wasn't for the grids, and they are

Because they may have their data in a more timely and reliable fashion than they get it by using casual access. When I first got into WiFi, I saw that 80% of detected (broadcasting) access points were fully open. Within a year, it dropped to 60%. Now, several years later it is well below 50%, and

George, awhile back I got from you a cat5 pigtail that had a quick-connect fitting on it. I think I can use these for my Tranzeo CPEs if I bore out the hole in the boot of the CPE. This could speed up installs some troubleshooting as well, as we can disconnect the customer's PoE cable and

Can you share the method you use to link them up so quickly over such a distance? Thanks Chris I have aligned 5.8ghz links up to 73 miles (and even a test link at 137 miles) within 5 minutes start to finish. Is it possible you have another problem? -- WISPA Wireless List:

Hi, We use either a GPS at each side, or just bearing coordinates and a compass. I have aligned several links at 20+ miles only doing one side and then going to the other side and having a perfect signal. :) And actually the longer the distance the easier it becomes... most 5.8ghz dishes

The legality and ethics of using an open access point is questionable, but there is a liability issue as well. In most of the areas that I cover with my network, there is a strong signal with SSID of NoDial. Connecting to this will get you a DHCP address even, without a WEP or other encryption
