As far as i'm aware, we are the only WISP in the area. Our other tower
sites are more than 15 miles away from this tower. Sectors would be my
next option, and probably moving to horizontal polarization.

You have heavy interference from somewhere else. Are there Canopy's in
the area? Do you have other transmitters in the area? Basically,
when you go to G you are spending enough time in the upper channels
where the interference is that you disappear to the clients... G hops
to all channels equally, whereas B spend most of it's time in the set
channel. You may need to sectorize...

1 or 2 would connect and then drop off. I just tried a few other
channels and the same thing happens. Go back to channel 1 and they
all connect.

I was just going to do that. Also, when i moved over to B/G, my CCQ
went from 80 down to 10. And when i tried changing channels, the
clients would not reconnect.

If you can enable G, do. It should help if the clients can use the
compression.
With an omni you can pick up oodles of interference, can you do a scan
late tonight?

2.4B, but i could change it to B/G if needed. Usage is fairly
light, no
more than 1-2mb going through the AP at one time. Sometimes we see a
spike to 3mb. We are routed, VLAN'd at each tower and sometimes AP.
This AP is using a 8db omni.
I know about hidden nodes, but i guess I'll need to read up on it
more.
How do i check for them?

2.4Ghz? Running 802.11b? 30 Customers.. What kind of usage
are you
seeing. One of the biggest advantages of the MT is the ability
to see
what customers are really pulling... if you are running straight
802.11b then the max you are going to see through this is probably
around 4mb/s and if your customers are all allowed 1.5mb/s you
are going
to see frequent times when they are competing with each other.
What
are you seeing for hidden nodes? What's your physical layout? Are
they off a sector or an omni? So much that this could be.

We put up a RB532 late last fall to replace a Tranzeo TR6600.
We had
noticed that on the 6600's that when you get more than 10 people on
them, they start performing very poorly. So, the solution that
i had
been hearing was to move to a mikrotik box. At the time, we
purchased
a RB532 board and have a SR2 wireless card. Worked great for the
first month, and since then it's back to slowing down and we are
starting to get complaints about slow speeds, etc. We have
about 30
clients attaching to this one box, and they are limited to 1.5mb dl
and 384k up. I thought this box would easily handle that many
connections and data, but it doesn't seem to be keeping up. I'm
running the latest firmware on the board and am running out of
ideas
to tweak this. Any suggestions? Maybe need to move to a faster
box?
Ditch MT and go with another AP vendor?
