One additional thing. Hate to keep
responding to the same thing but because Martin & Steve seem to be
extremely frustrated I find myself wanting to try and help.
Your e-mail states you are having trouble
downloading. Is browsing fine?
The reason I dropped my connection rates down
to be no more than 2Mps was due to the fact that downloads were extremely
unreliable. I could browse all day without a problem but... Go
to www.toast.net and run their
performance test. Watch the LQ on the client bridge via SimpleMonitor
while the test is running. If you see the LQ dropping to zero, coming
back up, dropping to zero, coming back, so on and so forth I am pretty
confident that forcing the connections to a slower rate will fix the
problem. The AP is a shared resource so if an individual user is
having a problem it can have a negative affect on all.
I discovered this during the intial testing,
driving aroung in my truck with a power inverter and antenna on the
topper. I am glad I did this initial testing because had I not I would
have a major mess on my hands right now and when a problem starts up with
live customers on, the fix always seem to become more complex when it
rwally is not. The heat of the moment causes the
complexity.

The toehr thing, as it was mentioned in a
differnet reply earlier, are you using 18VDC power supplies? Are the
AP's lacking the power they need?

We give up!
We cant add any more users to our system
total of 60 split between 2 APPO's 30 each at max. We added 2 more today
and now we have hardly any users downloading and best we can do is about
300KBPS down... This SUCKS! is it possibly due to all the smoke in the
air which I would find hard to believe BUT you never know.
What's the deal with the XO stuff is it
done it sure could be nice to have one to test and see if it is worth
$900.. I am very frustrated at not being able to figure this out. It all
points back to the radios (APPO's) not being able to process all the
associated radios to it? I change the SSID so only a few people
10-12 can associate to the APPO and there is NO pro problems. I
allow all the users to associate to the APPO and WHAM crap city
throughput goes to hell pings skyrocket just with one user surfing on
and off.. how can this NOT point to the radios inability to keep up? Why
would just idle radios associated to the APPO have such a bad effect on
the APPO?
I have 6 users ready to cancel due to the
crappy service I am getting from these radios I don't understand how
someone else claims 60 plus users on ONE APPO and they are fine? what
speeds are you offering what are your settings on the APPO and the
clients associated to it. What ant are you using? any amps etc
etc..
