I have the attenuator, but haven't had to use it this time around, my
signal has been near perfect.
The issue I'm having right now is packet loss, and a strange one.  I
can ping my immediate gateway fine, but anything after that loses
exactly half the packets, every other one.

After spending several days with several different techs on the phone
doing absolutly useless troubleshooting, they currently think I need an
IP, so I'm waiting for that to be pushed.
