Interferance? I dun know but as you stated as far as I can see the higher the RSSI AND LQ the better I have established solid links with RSSI of 60% but the majority I HATE LEAVING THE HOUSE without atleast 80% RSSI and 85% LQ its just my rule of thumb if it don't get atleast that repoint the antenna or get a more powerful one. I don't want a tree or rain or something killing the signal cause I left it at border signal strength (RSSI) however as far as I can tell as long as you have High LQ and decent RSSI you should be good. But I have noticed problems with the High numbers yet it is dropping packets like a nutcase. But I have fixed this before by moving the antenna about 4 feet into a more open field of view of the APPO site and it has fixed it. Perhaps it's a problem with Reflected signal, or SNR. However we don't know cause there is no SNR reading on the SB software then again neither is there a Current Connected speed :( HINT HINT SB hehe

Almost all of my links are 65% RSSI or higher. Many of them are around
80-90 with 30dBm and LinkQuality around 92% or so. Is this normal? I had
another WISP guy looking at my numbers and he thought my -30dBs were
"unheard of". He said they should never go above -60%. (He doesn't use
smartBridges). Is this good or bad? ..or just not accurate?
Also, I have an airPoint that might be flaky: from one site 5 miles out,
using a 19dB panel, the RSSI was around 85% and LinkQuality was around
90%. It dropped packets like nobody's business. Associating to one of my
airPointPros (65%RSSI, 70% link quality --I think!) would give it 100%
throughput with no packet loss. Why is the LinkQuality number so high when
the link was, in fact, quite bad? Should I blame the ap or the client
equipment? (the client says he's now dropping packets again even though
he's on the airPointPro that was acting fine the other day).
Thoughts?
