Longest Link

I resent mention that I have put a link that is over 1 mile long and I had some initial problems with the link. It actually went further than a mile and is linking to most of mesh nodes. The Frenzel Zone and the elevation is high. What happens is that the signal has a clear line of site to most of my nodes; unfortunately some of the nodes are reflect off of large buildings. When I issue a "blocknode" command to the specific IP address I force this new node to route to other nodes rather than going straight to the uplink node. What this has done is maintain a steady amount of bandwidth. As the signal moves further away the amount of bandwidth decreases. As a result the connection is superb.

Clear line of site and no obstruction in the Frenzel Zone is the way to go with Wireless Mesh.
