MP3, you should send your supout file to support@mikrotik.com, most likely you have changed the configuration to make problems.

Your comments are incorrect according to ours and others testing.

The signal strength is from the client. Tx signal is of course your signal strenght -- this is reported back to AP by the client. If your client is not RouterOS, you won't be able to see your tx signal strength.

John

Atheros does not give any noise figures.

The reason the signal strength changes is because the Atheros has different transmit powers for each rate. The rate changes depending on the quality of the link and therefore, if the rate is slow, the signal strength is higher.

John

The main thing is the power supply going from AC/DC to be tested. The ones we sell are.

It sounds like you would like to bridge untagged frames from one Ethernet port to another Ethernet port and exclude all tagged frames from that bridge group. I don't know if we have a bridge filter for VLAN tagged frames, but it is probably not too difficult to add. Is that what you are looking for?...

This is the major rewrite of parts of the wireless support that should increase the speed of CPU challenged boards (lower speed boards). This should increase regular wireless up to 25% and should increase Nstreme up to 50% or more... This has allot of low level optimizations. We will leave this as a...

The forum is for community support. If you find what you think is a bug, you should email support@mikrotik.com with the supout file and description. People continually post here and think that something will be done about possible bugs posted here, but that is not the case. You must write to support...

802.11 protocol does not have facilites to do 802.1d bridging unless you use WDS -- it is that simple. Of course, we can bridge over any IP link when using EoIP -- and that includes wireless 802.11 links with an AP and a station.

John

You can not use a station as a standard bridge (IEEE 802.1d) with 802.11 protocol because the protocol does not support that. If you add something like EoIP, then you can bridge the EoIP tunnel with another interface (Ethernet for example). WDS wireless links can bridge traffic supporting the standa...

That looks very nice.

John

You guys HAVE to learn about data speeds and udp and tcp. Use google and educate yourselves. Read and understand the TCP RFC. People that speak about TCP as a measure for backbone circuits need to learn more about data communications!!! I have explained this subject several times and I don't have th...

Sounds like the MDI/X checking is not working with the Eth on the laptop. We have sold thousands of RB44s with the VIA chip, and this is the first such MDI/X checking sounding problem. We might add an option to disable the MDI/X checking, but that will be on a new board design. Also, it might just b...

Please send your supout file to support@mikrotik.com with the same description above.

We have heard of this issue with other clients and would like to get it fixed as quickly as possible.

John

It appears that you have been playing around with all your rate sets and maybe more. You should not touch those unless you really know what you are doing. If you do play with those things and don't know much about them, you should do a reset to defaults. Currently you will have to reset the whole co...

For systems where the CPU can be a bottleneck, you must use separate routers to generated and receive the bandwidth test. Otherwise, this info is not useful to plan for real life networking. In the next version of 2.9rc, we have optimized Nstreme a little so that does somewhat better when the CPU is...

Antenna connections are symmetrical, but there are asymmetrical factors that can degrade signal strength (or increase signal strength) on only one side. - there may be reflectors such as metal roofs, other antennas, buildings with rf reflective material that will reflect an incoming signal and degra...

The Routerboard 18 is an eight port mpci to pci adapter. In was inside Celeron 1-2GHz tower.

John

why are there more mini slots if everybody i have heard so far doesnt recommend running more then 2 radios per unit (rb500) and would 4 radios in one case cause alot of RF between the radios? Randy I think the two radio idea comes from thinking only about the three non overlapping frequencies in 2....

v2.9 beta 19 has AP to station wpa working. It still might need some work before it will fit into everybodies network design/config needs. WDS wpa is in the works. But you can test it now. RouterOS doesn't support Orinoco/Avaya/Proxim cards in AP mode.

John

Yes
