Access point connecting, but not passing data.

Fri Nov 20, 2009 5:32 pm

I have a wireless network of four nodes using the 433AH boards and Ubiquiti's X9 900Mhz radios and each station using a 12Db Omnidirectional Antenna. Each radio is based on the script below. I of course add an IP address assigned to the Mesh Interface and add WPA2 AES PSK security.

Anyways, I have 4 APs A, B, C, and D. A,B and C are all about 2 miles away from each other at most but at about the same altitude and just peeking over the tree line. D is about 5 miles away from the furthest AP but HAS line of site, D is also atleast a good 500 ft higher on the summit of a hill. Now the problem, from all the APs I can see the WDS connection for D connect and send and receive data, but I can't ping it and it won't relay data through it.

Please Help

(XR9 act like a 2.4ghz radio in Mikrotik)
: Script:

/interface mesh add disabled=no
/interface mesh port add interface=wlan1 mesh=mesh1
/interface mesh port add interface=ether1 mesh=mesh1
/interface wireless set wlan1 disabled=no ssid=mesh frequency=2437 band=2ghz-5mhz mode=ap-bridge wds-mode=dynamic-mesh wds-default-bridge=mesh1

Something else rather odd i noticed. From AP D when i do a scan i can see all the other access points on 2437, but they also appear on frequency 2417 and 2457 which is outside the range of this radio. We have a small snow fall of about 3 or four inches. We have also replaced the hardware on AP D, no change.


Please help
