Another thing you could try is some downtilt on those sector antennas, which might require you raising them. I think you said you where at the Berkley Marina, which means your antennas are pointing inland. Ideally, it would be best to point them over the bay, but that would mean moving your AP. The idea here is to just cover the area you want to cover and no more.
Again, I am assuming "darkersun" is not in the marina. -- Jeff King, [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 10/13/2003 On Mon, 13 Oct 2003 00:02:38 -0400, Jeff King wrote: >Scott: > >Did you put up the sector antennas yet?
