Hi, We tend to get radios back from techs with notes that say something like "bad radio" or "low signal." Things that aren't obviously broken tend to sit around and collect dust.
Does anyone have a efficient way to test 802.11a/b/g radios? Most of our equipment is MikroTik, so my plan was to do a conductive test between a known good radio and the radio in question with 80 dB or so of attenuator stacked between them, check the rx signal on both ends, and run a bw test for a set amount of time. Is there anything else that I should take into consideration, or perhaps a completely different approach? I was looking at these attenuators... http://www.minicircuits.com/pdfs/UNAT-30+.pdf I don't think precision is really an issue as long as they're consistent from one test to another.
