Hi,
I want to know which is maximum signal gain for bellow those topics for point to point bridge connection:
Tx/Rx Signal Strength:
Tx/Rx CCQ:
Signal To Noise:
Wireless Protocol:
Re: Mikrotik Outdoor Wireless Network signal test
Tx/Rx Signal Strength: When aligning the endpoints you want this as high as possible ( -40 to -65 dBm say)
Tx/Rx CCQ: This shows how many packets get through , so 50% means half are getting dropped. Good TX/RX Signal and poor CCQ is a sign of interference - try a different channel
Signal To Noise: The higher the number the better. Low S/N means interference and will adversely affext performance (>40dB )
Wireless Protocol: This should match - usually NV2 or 802.11 on an AP/Bridge, and I set nstream-nv2-802.11 on a station. NB NV2 does not use your security profile so be sure to enable NV2 security on both ends if using this protocol.
The actual TX/RX Signal is a function of TX Power, Aerial gain, frequency and distance - Mikrotik have a wireless calculator on their download page to help you work out what you should be getting. Use MCS7 values for TX Power and RX sensitivity values.
