| 900 Canopy update!!! Greetings all,
OK, after several discussions with people from this forum (thanks for all of the input...), I have finally ordered, received and tested a new 11dbi yagi from PAC Wireless. I have also moved our 9dbi omni AP from 200ft to around 80ft also - AMAZING!!! This yagi and antenna relocation has fixed everything...including the interference! Just to fill you in, our shortest throw customer is 17.8 miles LOS (1390 RSSI with a jitter of 2-3). However, I did some testing today, and LOS, I got a signal *drum roll please* 41.2 miles from our AP with an RSSI of 1150 and a jitter of 4 to 5!!!! The other nice thing is we have a potential customer around 20 miles away with a small hill in the way 3/4 of the distance from the AP...the SM linked up and I was able to surf NLOS! Not trees or foliage, but a true hill (15 ft higher would give us LOS). Once again, thanks for all of your suggestions, and I hope that this gives hope to those who are also struggling with this equipment. |
