Installing XV2-2T at customer sites to provide Wifi around their sheds (500m or more) and need advise on how to get the maximum out of them( As percambium it can serve more than 1000m). Installed, configured, but didnt work beyond 200m then we replaced with e510 and it gives the same range as XV2-2T.There may be something wrong in configuration from my end. So what are the configuration parameters we have to set to get more area covered(atleaset 500m) and what external limiting factors. AP installed on a roof (approx 4m above the ground).
parameters on Radio 2 (5GHz) was on the slides that cambium used for 1Km test. I set them on the radio, but don’t know anything missing. I can send the config fil if required for your reference. Thanks
For the future, remember that advertising does not always reflect reality. If you are not satisfied with the product, just give it back. And finally, I recommend Try & Buy;)
Main area is the cottage with red roof. XV2-2T ounted on the roof of the other house(height approx 4m). have some trees, but the distance is below 200m and have a LOS from cottage to house AP. but only getting -80 or lower.
So, this XV2-2T doesn’t work even 200m? we replaced with e510 and same signal level (-80). it looks like e510 PCB in a big housing and customer pays more for the big housing.
I would like to take a look at your config. Please email me a tech-support dump with wireless client(s) connected. Please email tech-support log to gary.hansen@cambiumnetworks.com.
Hi @udithas , I looked at the log you sent me. You were using channel 136 which has a lower EIRP (EIRP of 30) than some of the other 5GHz channels so that is why you were limited to a maximum radio power of 21. If you use channel 149, you can set you the 5GHz radio power to 27 since the EIRP for that channel is 36 (see below). By using the channels with the higher EIRP you should see at least double the range.
