I assume you have kept the Tx power to the lowest value. In your noisy environment going to 9db may not be a good idea.   Some times I have seen better results by using the high gain (narrow beam width for noise rejection) but insert “passive” loss element to control RF.   In Europe many people use separate low gain Tx antenna to remain compliant and High gain Rx antenna to increase range. These would be connected to the different ports of the radio.     Nish     -----Original Message----- From: Dave Covert (HWC) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2003 10:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] ghosts of fw past??   Really? Interesting... I have a customer on 1/2 mile true LOS using a Maxrad 13dbi that is having disassociation issues about once per day. Power cycle fixes it. I am using the 13dbi panel for its narrower pattern (noisy environment) but maybe I should go try a 9. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Tom Haynes Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2003 1:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] ghosts of fw past?? It is most likely a multipath signal that this customer is recieving that close to the tower (unless your antenna is point straight down). I had the same problem, and replaced the CPE antenna with a 5dBi omni from an old Linksys card. Works great now. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sevak Avakians Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 10:27 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] ghosts of fw past?? A customer of mine is using an indoor airBridge on XP less than half a block away from the basestation.  The radio is situated on the window sill (inside) and signal strength and link quality are good.  Problem is that every now and then he cannot get onto the Internet.  Blue light is blinking.  Each time I go there, I power everything down, make sure the connectors are solid and reboot everthing.  After a few minutes -WHAM!- back online. Since we have upgraded the firmware on all our APPOs and ABs, could it still be possible that the old disassociation issue is around??  If not, then what else can this be?
