Looks like my images got stripped out. Here's links to the images. The distance is only about 500 or 600 yards, that's why I have the transmit power turned way down.
Do you mean like this? Notice the rssi on the lower pic. These are two NS5Ms setup as a backhaul. I was assuming the rssi is being wrongly reported since the TX/RX is 162/162. If the rssi was for real wouldn't one chain be reporting a very low connection speed, right? I'm getting 162Mbps on both directions. This is one end of backhaul, this NS5M running station wds: rssi -51/-56 http://s980.photobucket.com/albums/ae288/takoateli/?action=view¤t=Screenshot2010-04-14at122054PM.png This is the other NS5M running ap wds: rssi -51/-94 http://s980.photobucket.com/albums/ae288/takoateli/?action=view¤t=Screenshot2010-04-14at121953PM.png On Apr 14, 2010, at 11:11 AM, Faisal Imtiaz wrote: > ...not using MIMO mode ... ? what antenna are you using ? > > Using the Rocket M5 without the Ubiquiti Antenna's is like driving a > sports car with all flat tires :) > > There is a good documentation on the UBNT forum on how to verify the > bad/defective units.... > Testing them , have two units sync/link to each other, reduce the power, > little bit at a time.. you will see a 6 to 9db difference on the two > chains (Hpol/Vpol)... normal units will show either the same signal > level or off by a couple of db's.. > > Faisal. > > On 4/14/2010 11:34 AM, RickG wrote: >> Upgraded to version 5.1.2 prior to installation.
