I have that router that's what i use to connect! Its very cool! So I can highly recommend it! I am also considering to get myself the antenna and coupler, but my signal is actually strong as is, my problem was probably due to a poor/bad backbone link form the high site.

I got the Antenna today from them, have the same router as you, i installed it but am not sure which way to direct it as it is a directional antenna.

My signal did go up 20% but i am sure its directed the wrong way

Yes thats the issue with directional antennas, the margin in which you can move is so small. But within that lies the benefit also, the radio waves are focused on one point so all the energy is directed at a single spot, so that translates into higher gains if you point it in the right direction!

As a tip might i recommend you use MDMA (search the forums for it) on your pc. plug in the modem use mdma to get better readings of signal strength. Then slowly ( remember the margins are quite small) move your antenna in a direction, wait a few seconds then move a couple of degrees further. You might have had a great spot but because of the delay in the refresh of the web interface you could have missed it. Then once you are happy, fix the antenna in that spot do a final test and tweak a bit. then remove the modem from your pc and plug it back into the router, et voilas!

Hope it helps!

Hi Mr. 8ta rep, thanks for your contribution in getting this sorted for us! So far its all good, will keep you updated if there are any problems. Just an idea, maybe 8ta should get a Network Status page or something similar. Where you can keep customers updated about network issues and or maintenance progress. I think what made most people angry was the complete silence, no one knew where we stood in the last week, if you guys are working on it or anything at all. I think peeps just want to know their concerns are being looked into, it will make for a slightly more forgiving customer base and less embarrassment for you guys.

Thanks again, your network is running great again. Keep it up!
