Interference? Slightly mis-aligned antennas? Slightly obscured freznel zone? It could be any of these. But you should still be able to pull at LEAST 2-2.5 megs with a good solid link.

Why cant the APPO's pass 5 megs as it is rated to?     ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Summers To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 19, 2003 3:24 PM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] AirBridges and Hubs/Switches. Yes, unthrottled you should be pulling at least 2-2.5 meg. All of my backhauls are Teletronics Xi-1500s plugged into the Zonet (el cheapo) switches and from the farther tower I'm able to pull down 2.5 megabit. That's through 2 switches, 4 radios, the Zonet 24 port switch at the NOC, the MikroTik router, into another Zonet 24 port switch, into the other MikroTik router, yet another Zonet 24 port switch and finally to the web server. :-) Kevin Summers KISTech Internet Services Inc. www.kistech.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Blazen Wireless Sent: Friday, September 19, 2003 3:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [smartBridges] AirBridges and Hubs/Switches. HMM I am using the D-lknk one and I have got decent results with that I had a remote pop / client pulling 1.5 one day so I know its not a problem with the switch? but then again maybe it is and thats why I can pull more then that..     ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Summers To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 19, 2003 2:57 PM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] AirBridges and Hubs/Switches. NetGear 5 port 10/100 switch Zonet 5 port 10/100 switch Linksys 5 port 10/100 switch Hawking 5 port 10/100 switch   Linksys 8 port 10/100 hub Hawking 8 port 10/100 hub   ALL with the same result.   The worst was the Hawking 8 port hub. As soon as the ABO starting talking to anything else, the collision light was on almost solid.

What are you currently using for a switch?? ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Summers To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 19, 2003 2:42 PM Subject: [smartBridges] AirBridges and Hubs/Switches. Can someone recommend an easy to find, and relatively cheap hub or switch that the AB Ethernet port will play nicely with?   I've tracked down the problem of our speed decrease as being the switches we are using. I've now tried 3 different types of hub and switch with the same (or worse) results.   Basically what I did was plug the laptop into the hub/switch with nothing else plugged into it but the radio. Then did a speed test. The result was between 450-600Kbps.   I pulled the hub/switch and plugged the radio directly into my laptop which has an auto sense 10/100mbit Linksys USB Ethernet adapter, and did the speed test. The results were between 900-1000Kbps.   A list of known compatible switches or hubs that don't compromise the throughput would be great.   Thanks.
