I have two 5g dishes and one 5g nano mounted close together. One dish is set at channel 180, the second one at 176 and the nano at 172. They are connected through a Netgear 105. The dish on 180 and the nano are100/100 LQ/NLQ. The dish on 176 is 100/12. Since I had just put that dish up, I felt it was an alignment issue so I unplugged it from the switch and plugged it straight into my laptop. I did some adjustment and the numbers got to 100/92 and 100+ Mbps. I felt it would get to 100 when it settled down so I plugged it back in the switch and plugged the computer into the switch and when I checked the numbers, the dish on 176 showed 100/8 LQ/NLQ. I reconnected the dish straight into my laptop and it went to 100/89. I reconnected through the switch and it dropped to 100/15. I switched ports and cables thinking something was up with them but everything I did did not change the fact that when the dish was alone with my laptop, its NLQ was higher and when it went through the switch it was a lot lower. Any thoghts?

N8CAV:
If GS105E, how is it programmed?
Are those LQ/NLQ values from a tunnel, DtD, or RF link?
Example:
When you specify TxMbps, I assume that is a RF link...the others I am not sure.
However, if those nodes are on different channels, they should not show any TxMbps among themselves.
After changing anything, wait at least 60 seconds before recording displayed LQ/NLQ values.
The '/mesh' screen updates every ~13 seconds.
TxMbps may take from 1 to 24 hours to settle.

It is currently at a NLQ of 10 after 3 hours. When I disconnect from the switch and connect straight to the laptop it starts at 50 and after several minutes it goes up to 90s.
You have mentioned 3 nodes on different channels.
How is it possible that you have a 'RF link' ?

N8CAV:
You omitted which Netgear 105.
?
Do you have a computer and 3 nodes connected to a (Netgear FS105) simple switch?
Is the 'Netgear 105' a VLAN switch?
Chuck
port 1 180 node port 2 laptop port 3 176 node port 4 172 node
Connected that way the port 3 node is LQ 100 NLQ 23 TxMbps 99.1
Unplug Lan cable at poe for 176 node and plug in laptop cable and the node reads 100/100 46.2
Reconnect to the first setup (through the switch) and it goes back to the NLQ dropping between 0 and 23
N8CAV:
I assume you mean all VLAN2.
The laptop needs a LAN port associated with a VLAN2 port connected to a node.
If you program your GS105E like this

we will all be on the same page in the hymnal.
Is your switch a GS105E ?
Again, I am baffled about your report of TxMbps.
With 3 nodes on different channels, there should not be any links with TxMbps.
