Here is an image of what my network looks like:
Apparently, the signal between A and B is what is constantly going in and out. Which is apparently preventing the DHCP send/receiving info. So I have no access to the internet; but my connection says its OK (Signal low, 36+ Mbps) This problem only occurs during the hot summer months, between May - September. Last year, around September, we replaced the bridge because the previous one stopped functioning. After the replacement, access to the internet was not a problem. It is an EnGenius ECB3500. From the bridge, it connects to a Netgear DS108 8-port hub, to a Linksys WRT54g wireless router that is at least 5 years old. Through the hub are 3 Cat5 cables that go to the southern house (white roof), the east bedroom on the main house (B). The other office (C), is perfectly fine. They have no issues at all. When the connection works at B, I get no Event 1003/Event 1000. When connected by wire, it still comes up with the DHCP issue and I have no access to the internet still.
The antennas between A and B are about 500 meters away, which is fine for 2.4GHz, 12dBi Yagi antenna, I guess? They are nearly level with each other, +/- 5 ft elevation. There is a direct line-of-sight, with one tree barely in the way, as you can see in the image. Antenna B sits just below the eave of the garage, about 20 feet up. While Antenna A is mounted on the roof, about 20 feet also.
I'm told that it's because of the heat, and that we need to boost the signal by putting another antenna with an amplifier between point A and B. But I'm also told that the heat has nothing to do with signal loss - but over time it can damage hardware.
Any help is appreciated. I've been trying to wrap my head around this problem in the first place for months. Please, someone point me in the right direction before I go buying $200+ in equipment.
