In short, WAP11's are deaf and mute compared to Cisco 350's. If memory serves, WAP11 transmit power is 35 milliwatt verses Cisco's 100. WAP11 recieve sensitivity is -82 dBm verses Cisco's -90 dBm.
You have lost around 15 dB from your link budget. A quick calc suggests the link should work with WAP11's and 24 dBi antennas. What type of antennas are you using?

This distance is 11.2 miles, clear line of sight, across a valley here in the Mojave Desert. We had the link working great using some barrowed Cisco 350s, 78% signal strength and very low packet loss and retries. We had to return then 350s and are now trying to get the link back up with Linksys Wap11s. He has a ver 2.6 and I have the 2.8 both are running current firmware. We set the linksys' up in bridge mode arcross my living room to verify that it was working. We then hooked up each AP on the high gain antenna's and its not working. We would like any advice on things to try or reasons why it is not working. We are also not sure how to tell which antenna is the right one and which one is the left one.
