Tips for outdoor link
Hello
I'm a newbie in need of some suggestions. I have a couple of Pheenet WL-
522BA access points (just in case anyone recognises them) linked to 14dB directional yagi's roughly pointed at each other with a gap of less than 200 metres.I'm having loads of trouble getting a reliable signal. How precisely will these need to be pointed at each other? If one is pointing slightly downwards and the other isn't, will this kill the signal? If an N connector wasn't crimped absolutely tightly, how much difference would that make (the outer shield, not the pin)?
I'm considering attaching a laser pointer to one of the antennas and looking for the spot on the opposite wall and then following it up the mast. Would this work or is there a better technique for alignment?
TIA Tim
