Hello,
I've got a link set up between a USB-adapter with an external antenna,
mounted on the outside of my house, and a Cisco AP 100 meters away.
There are some trees in the way. The antenna is a +9dB, 40deg or
something, flat panel.
When the weather is fine, sun, clear weather, i get about -86db
signal, with a SNratio of about 10, which makes it about 2-3,5Mbit to
the Internet.
BUT, when it starts raining, I lose the link very bad SN-ratio and
about -98db signal, which makes it impossible to get any data through.
Strange thing is that when the rain stops, it takes about an hour
before the link is up again.
So, questions are:
1. Any way to prevent the link from going down? Better antenna?
Different type of antenna?
2. Why the one hour delay?
3. What will happen when the winter gets here? Leafs will be of the
trees, so I guess thats a good thing, but if rain kills the link I
guess snow will too? And what about the cold weather? -10 degrees
celcius. Only the antenna is outside.
Thanks for any input on this!
