The WIFI has been working very well, with dependable connections between our data systems. The check_ap24.sh script on flux reports the following today, Oct 2 around 14:40:

ap24 is as the base trailer. ap24-2 is at rim, ap24-3 is at near.

The connection between base (ap24) and near (ap24-3) looks very good, up 50 hours, with 40 and 36 dB SNR.

The connection between far (eanti) and base has also been solid, but the above shows only 47 seconds since the last association. Etherants seem to drop and re-associate fairly frequently.

eanth@sodar has been a bit problematic, requiring power-cycling of the etherant from time to time. Gary re-oriented it yesterday, and I think it has been more solid since then. The SNR looks good.

The connection between rim (ap24-2) and base has a low SNR of 16/19 dB, but has been up for 22 hours, at a lower tx/rxrate than the connection from near to base. This is probably low because the yagi on the rim tower is connecting to the back of the 180 deg yagi at the base trailer. To see if it improves things I just enabled the internal patch antenna on the ap24, which is pointing at the rim tower. I'll wait until the radios re-associate and see what the signal levels are. Both the internal patch and the eternal 180 degree yagi are access points for the SSID of ISFSext. I am also curious to see if that works.
