9.4. The wireless link is poor or non-existent in Bridge
mode
If the unit is set to Bridge mode, and is showing any or all of the following
symptoms:
• There is no wireless link
• The link LED on the device enclosure shows constant red
• The wireless link is constantly below 60% signal strength
Check the following points to improve the wireless link strength:
1. Antenna alignment: The antennas belonging to both units
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
injectors.
4. Frequency value and channel width: Both units forming part of
the affected link must be set to the same frequency value, and to
the same channel width.
