Ryan, Let me say this differently. I'm not saying it's bad that your bragging, I'm saying that the signal strength could be "too high". If you put two antennas adjacent and get a 0 or -1 signal strength you get significant packet gain because the hardware can't keep up with the RF.
I suck at words, sorry =( Do you see my point now? Good point - Are the bullets in WDS mode. I forgot AirOS doesn't do WDS by default.
