3com building to building bridge is currently in place. It makes a 600 ft link across the parking lot from our main building. Palm trees are growing up into the path. All of them, and I've seen the signal strength go from -25ish to under -70 now. Repointing and repositioning is helping, but the best fix is to connect that warehouse with a wire to another warehouse served by a point to point link.

so how many buildings do you have access to? do you have a building off to the side where theres a clear LOS to the 2 other places that you can setup wireless on?
