New Around Here
I'm working as a client in an RV park. I'm also looking to quote out wireless infrastructure and have been testing various brands of radios (ubiquiti, EnGenius, TP-Link) .
I'm struggling with the Hawking HOD45B right now (I've also worked with the HPOW10D)
So I'm looking for a little help:
I'm working in station (infrastructure) mode.
When functioning, my router gets a DHCP lease from the AP via the Hawking just fine.
So I can get it to connect and it's sorta usable, but I'm struggling with the issues above and looking for help!
Thanks,
Mike
I'm struggling with the Hawking HOD45B right now (I've also worked with the HPOW10D)
- The software (that I'm running 1.11?) has little to no feedback on the AP connection. I cannot tell if I'm associated or not unless I try connect from inside my local home network.
- The 5Ghz doesn't pickup much of anything. My laptop, inside the house, picks up 5 or so 5Ghz networks while the hawking (outside on a mast above the roof lines) barely sees my own.
- I tried a high powered external antenna (with the difficult to find/afford connectors) and it did nothing for my 5Ghz reception.
So I'm looking for a little help:
- Is there a Hawking user forum somewhere that I've been unable to find so far? (My search led me here)
- If there are Hawking users here:
- Am I missing something with the software, regarding AP association status, etc.? Or a 3rd party software for these boxes?
- Is anyone else having trouble (or success!) with these at 5Ghz?
