Re: Connection Very Unstable
Either you have line of sight or you don't. Which is it? LOS is a straight line between the AP and your CPE plus a margin called the fresnel zone. Depending on distance, this fresnel zone could be 25 or more feet on either side. Generally, 60% of the fresnel zone should be clear.
Usually, the AP is not a router per se, so users cannot normally calculate ping times to it directly but none the less the first router you encounter in a tracert should be what you base your last mile performance on. Keep in mind that routers often put a low priority on ping, so if something further out gives you better times, you can discount the bad times.
Just do your homework with a few tracert and pathping results and confront the WISP with them. That should get things moving in a positive direction. Just make sure that you are not causing your own interference with your own DSL router or new cordless phone. |
