I think the ubnt radios alter or do some funny magic with the mac addresses when bridging. For a clear bridge, try using them in wds, which will of course prevent adequate security.
I would also turn the power down a little, -28 will do more harm than good especially if you're trying to put two on a dish. I understand the bullets can't be turned down below 1 or 10dbm afaik. I would use HP's trunking instead of lacp and use each link as a trunk port. 2524-->radio-->radio-->2524 The switch would still play dumb though if a link went down and half your traffic would be botched, based on how the HP divies up the traffic by mac address. You'd have to have a 26xx switch which can determine link state across a trunk port via keepalive traffic instead of interface status. Things to get you beyond 26mbps might include a MT link (30-35mbps), trangolink45 (which works at 5.4ghz as well), or alvarion b100 gear, or VL gear (about 32mbps) On Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 08:39:00AM -0600, Ryan Ghering wrote: > Hello all, I got an issue that I haven't delt with before. > > note we HAVE done this scenario before just with diff radios and it worked. > > The Setup.. > > we have a 3/4 mile long radio shot to one of our towers that we wanted to > increase bandwidth to as well as give it some redundancy.
