    Hi folks,

     

    Looks like that range would be fine for you, Cal. I'm seeing 70 right now, and the speeds you're getting, according to my diagnostics, are showing over 40 Mbps in download speeds. Everything looks good!

Appreciate the quick response.  I had been seeing the strength drift a bit downward, but with the trees being fully leafed, I figured that might be a factor.  I was able to tweak the strength a bit by adjusting azimuth slightly. 

I'd rather be operating at peaked signal strength to give me some headroom for weather-related issues.
