[Olsr-users] low signal and dropping default route

[L. Aaron Kaplan]

short answer from my experience/ my perspective:
you will want to get a better antenna in that case :)
(more directional -> better signal to noise ratio).

IMHO layer 2 should be improved before any other routing layer 3 stuff  
is attempted.

you probably could tweak the interval timers.
