How to detect interference on 2.4 GHz - SNMP?

Sat Aug 06, 2005 5:59 pm

I would like to know if RouterOS can help me detect interference on a channel.

For example, could I graph with SNMP certain parameters which change as soon as someone changes to the same channel?

One parameters that seem a likely candidate for this is Overall Tx CCQ.

I've tried to extract the OID for this value but the usual 'print oid' in /interface wireless does not seem to do the trick. Furthermore I'm not sure exactly if this is the correct parameter to use.

Another interesing parameter is "strength" which you do get when you print oid, but I haven't been able to find documentation on this. When I tried to retrieve the value in my SNMP program it displays nothing.

Any tips on how to detect interference except for lots of unhappy customers calling who can't send e-mail will be appreciated. :)

After having searched a while on this forum I've learned that the Atheros chipset apparently doesn't give much parameters in the way of inteference measurement...apparently there is such a thing SNR / noise floor readout but...
