This is for a long distance (roughly 1.5 miles through a bunch of trees)
point to point link. Mimo won't be helping much.

The WAP54g's I'm running right now are just barely maintaining a connection,
and I know the receive sensitivity on their radios sucks. Power is set to
75mw running into 24dbi antennas at both ends.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
