hi friends,

today i setup a bridge between 2 RB711-5Hn-MMCX in a 22dbi antenna enclosure.

both in the same room a few inches away.

i then setup a MPLS transparent bridge using the steps given here : http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Transpare ... using_MPLS

now when i transfer data from one PC to another PC i don't get speeds above 1.5 MBPS at the most 2MBPS. Not above that.

anything i need to do more about this setup for gaining speeds above atleast 20MBPS....

Hi saintofinternet,

Usually there´s no need for VPLS on PTP Links anymore; RouterOS V5 has a
native Bridge Mode without the speed tradeoff using WDS;
Said that, you won´t get good results at you test setup with 22dbi antennas just a couple of feet away...
It´s like staring into the sun. Ideal signal is around 60dbm.

any place where i can see the bridge setup?? without using MPLS.... because i somehow misreably fail when i try to do it using WDS and bridge. my RouterOS is Level3 hence i don't even have a AP mode.

You dont´t need Level 4 for PTP Setup. Just set Mode "Bridge" on the first and Mode "station-bridge" on the other - no need for WDS.

Additionally you have to add a bridge and bind both wlan and ether interface.

today i enabled NV2 and the Bandwidth Test gave me speeds of 200MBPS

when i tried actual file transfer from PC to PC it was not above 700 KBPS......

why is this happening??...

Do you see any errors or drops at the interface statistics?

packet drops yes.... during the Bandwidth Test in UDP

either in RX or TX or Both

adding more images of the earlier chain.
