Current "stable" setup is Airmax on, 10 Mhz channel, freq 2417 (channel 2).
Noise floor varies -96 to -83 dBm Signal RX from station -59 to -67 TX/RX 13 Mbps CCQ 100% Speedtest shows 2.88 Mbps RX, 1.94 Mbps TX Airmax turned off Noise floor varies -96 to -85 dBm Signal RX from station -60 ACK 51 TX/RX 13 MBps CCQ 100% Speedtest shows 2.66 Mbps RX, 3.26 Mbps TX Changed both stations to 1 mile/Auto ACK and now sitting stable at about 3.0 Mbps TX/RX after half dozen tests...
