Peter: I'm not the one that was having the problem, I just gave Scott some suggestions since no-one else had responded to him on the list.
But your information fills in alot of gaps. Scott never got back to me, but looking at the marina, AND if scott is using Sector antennas, the only way he could cover the marina AND he is on the Berkley Yacht Club would be if at least one of them was directly facing you AP's. So that explains alot. So, besides your excellent suggestions, if the Marina is the only thing he wants to cover, he should introduce some aggressive downtilt into his antennas. That should take your AP's and any others ouf of the direct beam of his antenna but still give excellent signals to the marina. Or, alternately, relocate the AP's and sector antennas so they point out at the bay, putting the back side towards your antennas and the rest of Berkeley. Minimizing the coverage area to just what you target is the best long term solution for anyone in this situation. If it is not you, it will be someone else.
