MikroTik

Good day,

I need a bit of info or direction please.

With a basebox5 or netmetal when setting on 802.11 , cts to self enabled I get alot of disconnects with my clients.

What I am thinking is that distance for each client needs to be below 5km that might be causing the problem.

Any suggestions as with nv2 I dont see this problem only with 802.11.

Regards

Avoid using CTS on anything ( wireless and/or ethernet ). Using CTS on Ethernet can sometimes slow your network down to the speed of the slowest device. Using CTS on wireless creates a packet delay overhead that can also slow down your wireless network(s).

I prefer wireless nv2 settings on all APs & clients where all clients on an AP can not hear all other clients on the same AP. With nv2 , you have decent protection of your wireless nv2 clients stomping on each other when transmitting to the nv2 AP. Also , with nv2 , I suggest setting the nv2 transmit window to 75-percent ( 75-percent of the nv2 timeslots are allocated for AP transmit to remote clients & 25-percent of the time is allocated for remote nv2 clients to transmit to the nv2 AP. Note: This works pretty well for the average Internet customer because most of their Internet traffic is receive traffic ( netflix & ... ).

Great ty for the response i will change the settings back.....or atleast try a sector with nv2 and on client side any. And one sector on nv2 and client side any with rts cts last time i tested this had a bit more throughput. My MCS is set to 12 so wil look into that mybe its a bottlenek on the ap limiting it to about 45mbps. Thanks again

Re other settings.(( What I use for nv2 ))

- AP nv2 Cell-Radius settings :
I normally look at the AP registration table ( connected clients ) , then take the largest Distance-(km) and add a 2 to it and use that number in my nv2 Cell-Radius setting.

- AP wireless settings:
Band: 5GHz-N/AC ( or 5GHz-A/N/AC if there are client problems )
Channel-Width: 20/40/80MHz Ceee
C = the frequency you set it to ( Example: if C = 5540 and channel width is 20MHz , then the channel width for C uses 5530-through-5550 )
e ( on the right side of the C ) = adds an additional 20Mhz above the C frequency ( Example 5540 Ce uses 5530-through-5550 and als0 5550-through-5570 ) ( each e is another additional 20MHz ).

- Wireless Protocol nv2 TDMA-Period-Size " 4ms
- Wireless Protocol nv2 Mode: dynamic downlink
- Wireless Protocol nv2 Downlink Ratio: 75

- Wireless Data Rates: all default settings

- Wireless Advanced - Hw Retries: 3 or 4

Thank you so much, This is great info I am also using same settings more or less.

Hw Retries: 3 or 4 I set on the sectors this and on the p2p link i put it on 7.

- Wireless Protocol nv2 TDMA-Period-Size " 4ms mine is set either 2 or 3 and working well.

All info is greatly appreciated

Dear BOT, your programmer is really an idiot, this is mikrotik forum, go to forum of other vendors.
