[WISPA] TrangoLink45 Link Problem

I have a 2 mile link with TrangoLink45's. Clear line of sight. The MU transmits at 54Mbps all the time. The RU drops to 12Mbps within about 2 minutes of setting it to 54. This morning we tried 6 or 7 different channels. All had the same RSSI of -61 or -62. All behaved the same way. What else sh

Ok, that makes more sense. Do you have a spare link to swap in place? I'm not leaning towards interference if you've tried several different channels all with the same result. It's been a long time since I've used an UL Trango PtP, so maybe someone here a little more fresh with the gear will chi

Scott, You are doing the right thing targetting a -60 rssi. We design most of our TLINKs to operate there, because they can distort after -58 and maximum RSSI is beneficial for top modulation. I see two relevent topics to address. 1) Why its dropping on one end, and 2) How well does Adaptive mo

Hi All, I've been seeing way to high of a failure rate or dead out of the box problem with these radios. I'm using the 411 versions. One even had an antenna that wasn't connected inside, broken solder joint. Anyone else seeing such high failure rates? It's got to be close to 20 or 25% here.
