Re: 5gz Cable
Were you using mini-pci cards? Did you say you had the radios running at 5 ghz but the antennas were 2.4, what cable did you use with that.
The wisp router cable should work fine. If you're using mini-pci most likely it is the u fl pigtail to blame, the tolerances on those just suck, which is why I'm glad the new 400 mw radios have mmcx as an option. |

I'm not sure if you've seen it, or even participated, but there is a very long thread on this on the starOS board. After a lot of detailed testing, it has been concluded that it is not the U.FL connector that's the problem but the compatibility between the very small coax that must be used and the N-Type.
These pig tails use a different manufacturer's connector (not Hirose) which allows a larger coax to be used. Some people have seen up to 8dBm improvement at each end of the link by using these pig tails:

I have just received some U.FL to N-Type and have not tried them yet but they are certainly a lot more substantial than the ones I have been using to date.

Australia | I did a search on the star-os forum but not sure if I'm looking at the correct one.
Would you be able to post a URL to the topic?
What about the MMX to N are they any better?
Thanks Heaps!! |
