I guess your link is either weak under normal circumstances or you are barely making the fresnel zone and when the temp goes up, the link starts to flutter. I'd try to put one of the ends up 10 feet, check connections, shorten cables, pray to the gods etc.

Nigel, The link does not cross over water. The ground terrain is composed of rolling hills with approximately 10% tree cover.

N Nigel Ballard [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.joejava.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Loren Zemenick Sent: Monday, June 16, 2003 8:17 AM To: Wireless Subject: [BAWUG] Why might a 5 mile link degrade during hot weather? I have a 5 mile 802.11b link that works fine until air temperatures exceed around 85 F. Over a period of about an hour, the percentage of missed pings grows from zero to 100 percent. Link endpoints are Linksys WAP11 (ver 2.6) configured as a point-to-point bridge with 24 Dbi horzontally polorized antennas. The WAP11's and power supplies have been cooled with no effect. Some trees are in the Frenel zone. The problem happens weekdays and weekends. With WAP11's I don't know of a way to measure signal strength or quality. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing the outage or how to troubleshoot the problem?
