Are you sure there's not a moisture problem in the antennae cabling? Get an SWR meter that can handle the 2.4 GHz range and make sure that SWR is very low (approaching 1:1 but certainly less than 2:1). Hook up the meter in-line at the AP. Test this after everything is wet and again when there's been a dry spell. Minimize the number of exposed connections anduse dielectric grease.
Use dielectric grease sparingly on the outer threads of the connector. Don't let it get in contact with the inside where it bridges the center pin and the shield. This will cause nasty impedance bumps. The inside of the connector should be dry. The grease on the threads helps to ensure this.
Any exposed connections should be well wrapped with that rubberized electricians tape first, then with regular.
Yep, the stretchy stuff. 3M type 23. -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Engineering - jay () impulse net Impulse Internet Service - http://www.impulse.net/ Your local telephone and internet company - 805 884-6323 - WB6RDV
