iBurst keeps dropping!

[nihilist]

Hey guys.

We've got our iBurst running on an IP Cop box, it's been running fine except for the last few months, sometimes it disconnects about 20 times or more a day!

This is from Glenwood Durban area, the UTD shows full signal constantly.

Any ideas? I don't /think/ it's IPCOP but you never know.

This is basestation hop, if you look at the time difference between most event, it's roughly 20-40 minutes. This is the same pattern I observed when I had this problem.

Sorry, but to fix this you will need a directional antenna.

Thanks, I installed that tool (the one I posted her, can't recall the name) and monitored the signal and the logs, it matches up, moved the UTD a bit, got 7/10 signal but still bad, but less problems, going to order an antenna.

Is their Omni antenna thing worth the ~R1k ?
