[WISPA] Mikrotik issues
I have a odd issue(as always). First of all I have a 180 sector with a RB411 XR2 3.15 OS 44 Clients. Can that board handle that load running B everyone at 2MB? All CPE's are Tranzeo TR19 Next I have 3 clients off of that sector with the same issue. Pings from my office to the CPE NEVER drop. However, pings from the client to my office will drop for an intermittent time period several times an hour. I have visited 2 of the clients. With my laptop connected to the POE, when everything is working I can winbox into the tower to watch what happens, with a ping running from my laptop to my office. As soon as the pings stop I start looking at the tower, the Winbox never loses connection. But I can't ping the web, I can't browse the web and tracert stop between the CPE and the tower. But I am still connected and have full access to the Tower with winbox. Pings from the tower to the CPE never fail or change time nor do pings from my office. When the client first complained I had them setup a VNC connection to take control of their PC assuming they were clueless. With VNC from my office I started a ping on their PC and watched it start failing, I NEVER LOST CONNECTION WITH VNC. I could stop and start a ping do a tracert and to make sure I even rebooted the pc. So TCP level still works. Have replaced radios POE's, and some cables at one but since I now have 3 doing it I am pretty sure it's the AP. HELP Steve Barnes RCWiFi Wireless Internet Service (765)584-2288 WISPA Wants You!

On the vendors websites I browsed quickly the rb411a is often a good $20 cheaper. Has anyone had issues with the RB433/450 boards and a bad POE jack while the other ports work?

Re: [WISPA] Mikrotik issues
I'm curious to hear why the client's VPN wouldn't work. I haven't had any problem with client VPN units working through StarOS. Might be a network design issue rather than anything to do with StarOS. I would strongly suggest switching to a StarOS board with V3 and atheros chipset cards. If the rest of your APs are StarOS, having a few Mikrotik APs in there makes for a little bit of a management problem as they are not as easy to maintain as a StarOS AP is. The WAR2, WAR4 and X4000 boards all have plenty of CPU to handle 50+ clients. I have one client that has 120+ associations across four sectors with an X4000 and it handles the traffic (and cbq bandwidth shaping) with no problems. Other thing to check would be the client CPE ethernet autonegotiation, especially if the radio is pinging without loss. If you are using CPQ19 units, you might want to change the autonegotiation down to 10 full and see if that helps. Some newer switches and routers do not do the autonegotiation well and you need to hard-code one side to ensure a good connection to the bottom.

With VNC from my office I started a ping on their PC and watched it start failing, I NEVER LOST CONNECTION WITH VNC. I could stop and start a ping do a tracert and to make sure I even rebooted the pc. So TCP level still works. Have replaced radios POE's, and some cables at one but since I now have 3 doing it I am pretty sure it's the AP. HELP Steve Barnes RCWiFi Wireless Internet Service (765)584-2288 WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] IBM backs BPL
When I was involved with BPL (back then known as PLC), all I ever heard was HAM radio interference. -RickG On Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 9:12 AM, Jeff Broadwick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/081112/tec_broadband_over_power_lines.html?.v=6 Jeff Broadwick Sales Manager, ImageStream 800-813-5123 x106 (US/Can) +1 574-935-8484 x106 (Int'l) +1 574-935-8488 (Fax) WISPA Wants You!
