FCS errors = Frame Check Sequency Errors - e.g., corrupted packets

With all the variables in the Rf medium (e.g., the great outdoors), it is
almost inconceivable that transmission will occur w/ 0 bit errors...

luckily, the designers of Rf systems (be it 11b/TC/16/etc), have taken this
into account and have built in mechanisms for dealing w/ such errors
(handshakes, retrans, FEC, etc)

a few FCS errors is not a problem - RATHER what you need to examine is the
PERCENTAGE of FCS errors or discarded packets relative to the total # of
packets transmitted

Bob,

How long the unit has been up is not as important as how many total packets
it has passed.

If FCS errors are MORE THAN 10% of total packets, you have a problem.
Primary cause is usually poor RF.  What is the signal/noise ratio and signal
strength of this unit?

Looking at the stats on a RG-1K configured as a Soho client.  My in FCS
errors are over 3million.  There are other clients around this person
(another one of those places where I see multiple soho's when doing a link
test from a soho) but this is the wost.

What do most usually see for FCS errors on a client that has been up for 3
weeks?
