mode
If the unit is set to Bridge mode, and is showing any or all of the following
symptoms:

• The wireless link is constantly below 60% signal strength
Check the following points to improve the wireless link strength:

forming part of the affected link must face each other as directly
as possible.
2. Line-of-sight: The antennas belonging to both units forming part
of the affected link must have clear line-of-sight (in other words,
there must be no physical obstructions between the two
antennas).
3. Power: Verify that both units forming part of the affected link are
receiving enough power from their Ethernet connections or PoE

the affected link must be set to the same frequency value, and to
the same channel width.
