[OpenWrt-Devel] QCA9994 outdoor 13km link

[Ben Greear]

Is this short distance or long?

Please try short distance with omni antenna first to make sure you are not hitting the delayed-ack issue
or problems with your antenna.

Change your antenna orientation so that they point in different directions.

Thanks,
Ben
