Signal info AP to client:
Signal strenge: 73-76 dBm
Tx Signal strege: 74-78 dBm
Signal to noise: 21 dB

Ping:
2-5 ms normaly
but go up to 30-100 ms random just for 1 one ping and its go down agen.
2-9 times in minuts
and when i take a bandwidth test its just goes to 12 Mbsp and the ping will be up to 30-50 ms and the ping will stey so high and drops som pings. so realy unstable.

Have try to change freq but the ping will not be good, have fonde one freq where i can get up to 20 mbps but the pings stey bad and more i use the bandwhidt. ping just get hight and higher.

well...ping gets higher whe bandwith is transferred coz u fill up the actual speed your APs can reach...
Its like if u have a internet connection of 1mbit and start downloading...whe u reach 1 mbit DL speed ur ping to the web gets BIG :)

But about that pings that come when no traffic is passed...i have the same problem so if ANYONE :) can help... we both are going to buy him a beer :).

Now i have ben here in 23 hours and have try evrey thing. :P
I dont know if im going crazy or that i fact did get it littel better .
I did get the system about 1 week ago.
Did i think its was finsh full upgradet firmware and software.
But when i did type system routerbord print

AP
current-firmware: "2.8"
upgrade-firmware: "2.6"

and
Client
current-firmware: "2.8"
upgrade-firmware: "2.6"

That do note make any sens that i have a 2.8 v and the higst is 2.6.
So i did upgrade both to 2.6. than i was loging agen then it was.
AP
current-firmware: "2.6"
upgrade-firmware: "2.9"
and
Client
current-firmware: "2.6"
upgrade-firmware: "2.9"
And i try agen.
and now both got firmware 2.9 and ping is stable 2 ms.
and then did upgrade from 2.9.36 software to 2.9.46
but its alwaye have to be a but :P i got still som jups upp to 50 ms.
other problem that if i change the clock time, and reboots its just jups back to Jan/01/2000?

the 133's don't have a battery to keep the time so you need to set them up to get the time from an NTP server if you want them to have the correct time.
