Re: [Madwifi-users] ubiquiti SR5 tx power

[Edwin W. <Edw...@nr...>]

We've had three of the SR5s that showed both low power and poor 
throughput.  They were reflashed at the factory and now show the 
expected power (when talking to a Tranzeo 5GHz AP) but the through put 
is fair to poor atand all over the map when using different channels 
(from 5.3 up to 5.8).  Using a CM9 we get lower power indications but 
great, and consistent, throughput.

I have a spreadsheet detailing the throughput/power profile vs channel 
comparing the CM9 to the SR5.  Contact me off list if you want a copy.

Sure would like to see them "just work"!  I've got a 20+ mile hop to 
try.  :-)
