Steve, You may have already stated this, but what is the RSSI reported in the TRCPQ19? What is the SNR reported at the AP in the MT box? If you are running a XR2 in the MT AP and have a CPQ19 as a CPE and do not have a signal level being reported of at least a -84/-83 in the CPQ - - you may see

Steve, 2442 overlaps both channels 6 (2437) and 11 (2462) IMHO - you would be better off by staying with non overlapping channels such as 2412/2437/2462 and deal with the noise by utilizing Horizontal polarities. Between the noise from others and the overlapping of channels by yourself - - I
