As it turns out…the WIFE did move
the unit at But the temperature
affecting the RSSI??? Hmmmm??? I didn’t want the unit where it is
from the get-go. This customer
insisted on only an indoor (cost factor) and did not want to run cable
anywhere. So…I don’t provide
him with any connection related tech support. He said, “fine”. But…I still like to be proactive
and monitor everyone’s RSSI/LQ. You wanna see
something really funny. Check out
the new screen shot. I don’t know
what the heck he is doing over there.
Some people don’t know how to just leave well enough alone. Thanks for the inputs!! Sully -----Original Message----- The sun shining off a
surface will introduce noise as well as temp related changes to a reflection.
It sounds like a new signal is causing interference now or your radio/antenna
is putting out a lower EIRP. There could be a new 2.5GHz phone in use. Can the
AB be moved (via longer ethernet cable) to the other side of the house or in
the attic? Can it be changed to an outdoor unit? -----Original Message----- Sorry about the
screenshot pic...I really am stumped on this...and I thought this would be the
only way to get my point across. Here is a client that
shows on average 72% RSSI over time. As you can see by the pic, everyday
the unit shows a degradation in RSSI, starting at around noon and then goes
back up around 9 pm. Sounds like temperature is affecting the signal?? Then...as of midnight
last night, his RSSI dropped to 52% and has stayed solid at that level ever
since?? He told me that he did not move the unit. FACTS: 1. Indoor airBridge
sitting in window. 2. ~ 200 yards from 150ft
transmitting tower (so his unit is about 150 ft lower than the antenna) 3. Omni antenna with 7
degree downtilt with aPPo 4. Unit is on opposite
side of house (non-LOS) from the antenna (I believe he is receiving his signal
reflected off neighbors home - seperated by 10 ft). 5. Average temperatures
here: Daytime = 78 degree Nightime = 55 degrees Questions: 1. Would the temp of the
wood home next door affect the reflection capability of the signal??
Sounds weird I know...but the cooler it is outside, the better RSSI he gets. 2. What could have caused
the unit to drop to 55% RSSI at midnight last night and not come back (I did do
a power reset on it with no affect). Thanks all!! Sully |
