Question regarding Cisco 1400 Bridge

foleyjm · ‎01-25-2008

I'm setting up a Cisco 1400 Bridge in a test lab. The devices are about 6' apart and they are communicating ok (I can ping across the bridge) but performance is really bad. Is that because they are so close or do I have some other issue?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi John,

They likely are too close. Have a look at the great ideas from Brad in this recent thread;

Hope this helps!

Just add on above lines .. i missed it.. wireless performance depends on signal strength ..

If u get good signal strength then performance will be good ..

low signal -- slow performance ..

Thanks again
