Oops due to the time i missed it : its multicast! What rate so you need? What protocol are you using? Whats the TX and RX levels at both ends?

mennowz

Hi Bram,

is that stream using multicast?, fix could be : use higher basic rates, or use multicast helper

Hi everyone, i have something different going on with our NV2 sectors. One of them as 25 clients connected, it runs 5.26 signals ranging from -36 till -60. This sector is easily processing 40+ mbps, not joking here.. It will go to around 80/90 mbps. What helped us immensly was fixing MCS rates, we a...

I'll be at this MUM as well (also attend the dutch one in Amsterdam

).

Guess i'll arrive quite late in the UK, but we'll see each other @ the mum anyway!

Hi Mazyaar, turning up power is never a good thing, signal will get distorted easily. When signal leaves the radio in a distorted way, CCQ will drop. Best way is : use as little power as possible to achieve best signal. In case of the SXT Lite5 the sweet spot is around -55 (depending on noise etc.) ...

mennowz

Hi Alessio, 8.3MBps is actually not bad, but it depends... What is received signal strength on both sides and both chains? Do NOT overpower the radios! Do NOT set manual tx power of 30! At this distance and with LOS (Line of Sight) it is very possible you need to turn DOWN power. What channel width ...

mennowz

Hi everyone!

can anyone tell me what the Maximum EIRP and allowed channels for 5GHz is for Ghana? .. it's not in the Country list of the Wireless Interface

mennowz

Always force MCS rates with NV2, as soon as the NV2 clients use data, CCQ goes right up. And because you use forced MCS rates it will NOT go down (unless you have interference or fresnel issues).

Hi 'Aicom' , My experience with MikroTik is : When you stuble upon a reproducable bug, they will do their best to fix that a.s.a.p. They respond in a timely manner via mail in that case. But when using MikroTik, they expect you to know how it works.. No 'point and click' here! MikroTik can do what ...

Hi Rudy,

can you run the packet sniffer while trying to get a lease?, i have a theory.....

Just send it to me via wetransfer.. think something will come out of the sniff.

At your customer, but i fell off the chair. Customer : 'I'm not getting the speeds you advertised' Me : 'Let me take a look... hmmm -85/-90 .. that's not good' .. can you send me a picture of how you mounted the dish? Customer : 'sends whatsapp with image' https://s31.postimg.org/d0pj8h5tz/IMG_20160...

mennowz

Last week a customer ran a 112m(!) cheap Cat5e cable and powered a SXT Lite5 and it runs like a champ

yep.. even runs at 100Mbps FDx

Not advising it, just letting you know it CAN be done.

mennowz

Hmm Airfiber questions on MT forums

Your neigbors will NOT 'see' the wireless network, as the protocol used is proprietary. The signal WILL be measurable in their home as the signal will not stay in a small path. It's not a laser you know

Menno

Lot of things going on,

I see some weird DHCP errors, almost looks like there is some interconnect somehow between the 50.x and 0.x network.

Sure, upgrades to latest stable is no bad idea, don't forget to upgrade the Routerboar firmware as well.

Keep us updated

Thanks for the help mennowz! please do a export verbose (strip the sensitive stuff) and post the output here, maybe we can see something wrong.

mennowz

Hi FirstTech, not sure if this helps, but you could try and clone the MAC of your old router to the WAN interface of the MikroTik. This way you'll go around possible ARP issues, plus if the provider locks onto the MAC address, they'll think you are still using the old router.. :D Just my 2cts.. wort...

Hi George, odd.. i expect this to only show the allowed channels.

If you run a recent RouterOS, you should be able to control what speeds you are advertising.. Its under the 'Ethernet' tab under the interface connected to the Arris. Just advertise 100full only and see of it helps :D Menno Ok! Did that... Went into ether1-gateway, Ethernet tab... and checkmark ON ...

Thx for the reply menno, didn't knew that I can attach a VLAN eg. the existing vlan20 to more than one bridge simultaneously!? :?

Smells like bufferbloat, try forcing the Arris to 100Mbps Full Duplex.. As well as the MikroTik ofcourse. You could also configure auto negotiation to only advertise 100Mbps Full Duplex.

"interface with public IP" != "wan interface" I know that's normally the case in most people's experience nowadays, but they're really two completely different concepts, which is why it didn't cross my mind to specify "lan" interface :lol: - heck, when I got started in...

mennowz

Now that would make my ISP angry :D , but it's also a working example.. It all depends on what you would like to do.. If they're routing a /28 to your router, and you're handing out public IP addresses with a dhcp server that runs on your "lan-facing" interface, then the ISP shouldn't car...

Hello folks! I have an issue regarding my VLAN setup. I left may RB2011 pretty much in the standard config, added a VLAN id=20 to the same bridge1 with member ports 2-5.

Setting up DHCP for public IP addresses is not any different than setting it up for private ones, at least as far as DHCP itself is concerned. If you have an interface with the public IP address configured on it, try using the DHCP setup wizard to do it easily. Otherwise, define a pool with the usa...

+1 for Jarda! Just to make sure : You don't ACTUALLY use 8 SSID's right?, if you do, you should really take a look at 802.1x (DOT1x). The more SSID's you use, the more overhead you are creating and the more airtime you use at BASIC rates, which is never a good thing. Nice one, replacing those Engini...

Hi Soamz, You can run this quite quick on a virtual machine (vmware player with virtual appliances), not plug n play by any means. You can get historical and real time data on all subscribers and devices. It's the industry standard, the big boys run nagios as well, we also have experience with PRTG ...

mennowz

Yes, no problem. You can run the PPPoE server on that very same interface as you run the hotspot on.

That is how we migrated our customers as well

Have fun!

We use Nagius and Observium for traffic monitoring, works like a treat with all devices in our network. Yes it isn't exactly plug-n-play but it looks the part ;) Historical data for port: Screen Shot 2015-07-29 at 21.03.11.png Live bandwidth usage on port : Screen Shot 2015-07-29 at 21.03.36.png

Make your life easier, go PPPoE! you can give your clients Public IP's (one or multiple) for example. It's fast, easy (almost every router knows how to talk PPPoE).. you can use profiles that contains bandwidth limits (also very easy). You can run multiple PPPoE concentrators on the same network (wi...

Hi,

check the ethernet connections between routerboards, if the link speed is 1Gbps between Routerboard 1 and 2 , and 100Mbps between 2 and 3 then you could have this problem.

Just to try : force all ethernet connections to 100Mbps FD

Hi Elia,

ok, so you should bridge it with the VirtualAP interface as well.

Not having that much experience with that, so someone correct me if i'm wrong?

Hi Elia, if you are referring to the Routerboard : If i'm correct you should be doing something like this (don't shoot me of i'm partially wrong, i'm doing this without a routerboard on my desk :) ) create VLAN 6, bind it to ETH1 and give it the correct IP then Create VLAN100 and bind it to ETH1 , t...

Hi! looks like MTU problem, it can well be possible that your provider has changed something in their network that causes the MTU to change.

Unless thing have change you can't lock client data rates if you are using NV2.

I think it catches SIP messages on configured ports and changes local IPs to public mapping in Contact, Via etc. Also it changes the media address in SDP, so, you don't have to worry about STUN etc. However, it doesn't help with incoming media streams, so, you have to fix a port range for RTP on yo...
