Your signal is probably too weak My experience has been that it needs 60-70% to work at all and it is happiest above 80%

The RSSI was between 29% and 40% with the signal strength floating between 50% and 67%. After spending hours putting up the guyed mast and running the wire, we tested the connection and can't get it to ping anything. We checked the MAC authentication table and it is entered. We reentered the WEP key and the administrator password. It associates, but we can't ping or get to anything on my network or the Internet. I'm using the latest firmware 1.07. > > I checked on the Access point and it sees it associated, but the signal properties are 0 and it shows it trasmitting data. If you look at the statistics on the ABO when you ping, it shows the failed packets, but the receive and transmit statistics are showing no errors. What am I missing? This is about our 20th customer using Airbridges, so we've done this before.
