I have a pair of Cube 60 Pros that I will use to connect two buildings that face each other across a road. At a guess, it’s probably about a 50 - 60 meter link.
One of the buildings is metal-clad. Do you think it would be sensible to put them at offset angles? It is an industrial estate so I can either have them looking directly at each other, with no offset or angle, or I can put one on one end of one building, and the other offset to the side, so that they are at an angle. Would this be beneficial to send any reflections away rather than them bouncing straight back? Or is this a non-issue?
In terms of testing, I’d like to set them up, and then perhaps run a high bandwidth iPerf test or similar and leave it running for a number of weeks, and come back and observe any dropped packets or reduction in throughput. I could probably see errors, link-failures, retries, from the interface stats in the router, but in terms of bandwidth, is there anything I can run that will record over a period of time and let me see fluctuations?
Thanks,
Carl
