Jerry,
I just finished installing two AP's all airMax and all the subs are now
Airmax as well. My ping times went from 26ms to 10 on those AP's. Using
120 degree 5ghz sectors, one AP I have the large 19dbi antennas and the
other the smaller sectors. Both AP's are performing beautifully.
Bob
Yeah, but the using Airmax to you can get over multipath issues. Even with
one chain active the links seem to perform much smoother.

I agree. I've had a few links that were way too hot, like in the -40's. I
noticed packet errors in logs. Lowered the power to get it in the mid -70's
and errors gone. On one I actually had to lower both units as far down as
they could go. A 5 mile shot with minimal power. Magical

The problem is actually on the ethernet site of things. It screws up all of

Sheilded cable AND ferrite beads are the only hope of keeping things

I've not used Ruckus. Just read up on the deployments and heard the praise.
Talk to either 3db or Jeff at CTI. I know for certain that Jeff knows most
if not all of the model numbers (I'm looking into using Ruckus for future

If an AP isn't working right or on the same channel that's a different
story. It would have helped you to set the ESSID differently but you

Open-mesh. Don't know how well it will work, but it is cheap enough for a
