hello,
what is the best geight to mount MT 2.4 outdoor radio for hotspot. since i mount my radio about 30m above roof top i am constantly getting extensive data loss.
urgent help needed.
regards
Hmm, depends on antenna also. Do you use omni or sector antenna?
i use 15dbi omni antenna
regards
How far away are your wireless clients? How long cable do you use to connect your omni antenna? I mean, have you moved just antenna and put longer cable, or you moved your router higher as well?
the cable is the original cable sent me about 5mm, what i did was to move the router high up with the antenna.
i think we have the same seup and the same problems. what do you say we have a discussion and try to help each other out.
i raised my own box 36m up. i also v a 15 dbi antenna although i soon want to change it to a 12dbi NLOS antenna i hope it improves the service.
what i noticed about the excessive data loss is that it occurs when you try to overload the system in terms bandwidth. if my client has a strong link. most of the time client would be able to use up all his bandwidth but if the connection is poor. it disconnects easily on increase in traffic
yeah and if you dont limit the bandwidth i got the problem more than often.
my email is nowoxi@lexican.com in case ull like to chat just mail me n will arrange something
How close are your clients? Using this online calculator and assuming a typical omni beamwidth of 7 degrees, you can see that at 30 meters heigth they will need to be at least 500 meters away to be in the sweet spot for signal strength. Inside that radius singal strength falls off rapidly.
