First, if you think it's multipath try moving the antenna. I've had some as
low as 2' above the ground to get the best signal and speeds possible. I've
had a couple, maybe even a few, where moving 2 to 3 feet up or down (often
down) seems to do the trick.
As for running diversity, it'll be a trial and error thing. Two things seem
to happen with multipath. You could be getting a signal out of phase or
polarity shifted. Or both.
If you try it you'll want the antennas 3 to 10 feet vertically separated.
You'll have to try and see if the same or cross polarity is the key for your
customer.
I've found that multipath seems to be really really rare in the wild.
Usually it's something else.

Subject: [WISPA] using diversity outdoors
What would be the advantage (if any) to using two antennas on the client
in,
connected to a CM9 and running in 'diversity' mode, where both antennas
point to the same AP?
I have had one client that seems to have some ugly multipath issues, and
rather unstable signal levels and poor stability concerning pings.
Is there any rules to follow, if I try two antennas?
Thanks
