I changed some of our APs to ISP mode to try out the new board. The
board is working fine at my house, and I seem to have a better
throughput, which is an interesting side effect. Confirmed that signal
testing from client side isn't working, which is important. However,
running a link test from the AP side works like normal. Some of my AP
ping times maintained sub-20ms, others started hopping from 20ms to
200ms every 5 or 10 pings. That is a ping from the Ethernet side of the
AP to a client. I turned ISP back off, and my pings fluctuate from 8ms
to 30ms. I wonder what causes the difference. All have the same
version of TC. The ones that are working well are those with sectors,
while the problematic ones have omni-directional antennas. Think radio
interference could be exaggerated with polling ISP mode? Thanks.

so this is basically an Ndis client? and we have to change our netID's
around to the same as the channel?
