Projected coverage from Bellbrook with channel numbers:
Installed:
This 5.8ghz array is ethernet cabled into my master ethernet switch... where my 2.4ghz Bellbrook node is also connected. Whatever the 5.8ghz sees, it gets retransmitted back out on 2.4... and vice versa. They are fully linked to each other.
To determine which of these NanoStations might be offering you the best signal, configure your 5.8ghz node to any channel number that is not shown (any 5.8 channel except for 149, 153, 161, 165). Then do a "Wifi Scan" from your node and compare the signal strengths shown. Pick the best one from this list:
149
170
161
165
... and reprogram your 5.8 to that channel.
