Aironet 1310 Bridge high retries one direction

[rellison]

We are experiencing a high amount of retries in one direction between two 1310 bridges with external yagi antennas.  What would this indicate?  Here is a copy of the linktest:

Anyone have any ideas or experience with these symptoms?

Good morning,

When (1) bridge had abnormally higher retires than say the other bridge(s) this can be due to a few things. Check the config of the bridge for any odd configurations like packet shaping. Perhaps one bridge is allowing larger packets and these packets arent making it and have to be resent.

Check the phyiscal bridge solution. Is everything tight and weather proof tight. Is the antenna is good shape. Are the cables exposed in anyway.

Also what PERCENTAGE of retries are you seeing ?
