Isnā€™t 26 dBi with a 17dBi yagi above the legal limit in the US? Iā€™d try lowering and increasing the power settings as a last resort to see if it solves the problemā€¦ I have users on one tower with an Omni that hear the tower at -86 but the tower hears them at -64 because of distanceā€¦

Yeah - being as we don't know what the tower hears the signal at, having him adjust the power anymore might make problems for someone else.

Judging from what has been explained I would definitely agree with those thinking the new AP is causing interference. I have a customer I will be handling in the morning that's having a similar situation - my AP hears them at a blistering -59 and they are still having tons of re-regs. I'm going to investigate and will report my findings. I should note no one else on the tower (50subs) is suffering from this issue.

-59 is pretty hot. We had similar issues with re-reg's until our AP's were RF balanced.

Yeah, this AP has been RF balanced. It's a really weird issue. Has to be something local to the client. Client was around -65 prior and we turned up the power just to see if it would help.
