Ye but not if u're using the APi as a AP u cant see the clients info that's the problem with our setup for the last couple months which sb said they were fixing

I use the aPi in CB mode to talk back to my head end (working as a client). I take that and pump it directly into the aPPo in access point mode. So...what you are asking me doesn't apply.

I can see all associated clients and RSSI/LQ stuff off the aPPo (repeaters and head-end).

Sorry...

But under SimpleNMS when you look at clients associated with the API, do you see the RSSI and LQ for every client like with an APPO ?

I use an aPi in NEMA enclosure with 8dbi patch (inside NEMA as well) for one half of repeater (talking back with head-end at 1 mile) with aPPo on other side with 15 db omni (talking with clients within 2 miles right now).

I have full simpleNMS/management of all units including the other side clients.

I'm using one API in a box on a 15 DBi omni as 1/2 of a repeater. The other side is a D-Link DWL-900AP to a 21 DBi Grid pointed at the main APPO AP 3-1/2 mi link. The only thing I don't like is no RSSI and LQ in SimpleNMS on the API clients. Other than that I agree the savings over an APPO is justified.

I'm not sure where you buy them, but at Ecomm, the aP is $179 and the aPPO

is $330. A difference of $151. That difference pays for an Omni, NEMA box,

lightning arrestor and two pigtails.
