S+85DLC03D compatibility

Is the S+85DLC03D transceiver compatible only with CCR routers or it is compatible with other brand switch and interface cards? I'm looking to connect a remote server with a fiber link to a switch with SFP+ port and since these transceivers costs like one third of the cheaper I've found I'd like to ...

VPN clients and DNS Suffix

Hi, I'm using MT as my firewall and VPN server. (PPTP) I assigned an address pool to the VPN profile. So far so good, the users are connecting and can resolve names. The only problem is when they don't receive a DNS suffix. So my question is how do I push a dns suffix to the dns clients other than c...

Use snooper along with Freq. Usage to select the best channel.

The CCQ must be as close to 100% as possible.

The signal is important, but -75dBm with ~80ccq is better to me than -60dBm with ~20ccq.

We have a 1.5km 900mhz link using WDS. It is working in G only mode and it can sustain 15mbps of throughput.

I first had problems configuring the link in the lab. The client saw the AP but was not able to connect. I changed one of the card, I don't remember which one, and now it works.

It is not a SR5, but I've tested a SR2 and a CM9 in a RB112. It ran fine for one hour and then the device started to reboot over and over. I removed the CM9 and it ran ok.

The SR2/5 drain too much power to have a second card in a RB112.

Check your noise floor. You probably don't have a good signal to noise value. Especially if your in a noisy environment; the amp is probably your worst enemy because it will also increase the noise. On one of my link, the noise floor jumped from -90 to -80 when I added an amp. Use a bigger antenna i...

Bandwidth test for linux

Is there a bandwidth tester like the one we can have for Windows, but for linux?

All of our base station runs on Mikrotik and our CPE are linux. A band width test tool would be really useful in order to test the real link speed between the client and the AP.
