I have some nanostation2 devices that let you choose via software which antenna (horizontal or vertical) to use, I also bought some engenius 2610 and there's no such feature in engenius web interface; will updating to dd-wrt let me choose what antenna to use in my engenius 2610? thanks.

NO. Unlike the other radio, the 2610 only has a horizontal antenna, so that is the only option regardless of software settings. _________________ http://69.175.13.131:8015 Streaming Week-End Disco. Station Ripper V 1.1 will do.
So, to make it clear, the EOC-2610 APs internal antenna is horizontally polarized, right? (sorry to ask you to confirm this, but I've been digging this everywhere without a clear answer).
I can test pretty easy to be sure. I have a pair of them on towers with 24 dB grids already. I'm about to install another new link ( as soon as I can get off my lazy ass ).
When I installed my first 5 KM link it was both radios with only the internal antennas. Then on one end I added a 24 Grid, horizontal. If I remember correctly my RSSI improved by about 17 dB.
10 dB dual polarity antenna = (7 dB + a little) in each plane, correct ?
