Re: [WISPA] Customer Routers

2012-04-27 Thread Al Stewart
Been following this thread ... seems like you guys assume that ALL 
your customers, and ALL users of internet are total idiots with 
crappy equipment. Surely there are some who have decent equipment and 
know what they are doing. :-)

You really think customers listen? I had a lady blame us for 
lightning hitting her TV. People are going to blame you regardless 
of how much money you lose on them. We also keep routers separate of 
our responsibility. We do require our customers to have one at the 
time of the installation and we set it up for them.  We explain that 
our responsibility starts at the little white/black box (injector) 
includes the cable and the unit on the roof. Anything else is their problem.


We have a nifty screen that pops up when their router is on DHCP 
letting them know that they're internet is working great! But oops! 
Your router has lost its configuration here's the instructions in 
this pdf or you can call us for a $30 router setup. you're also 
welcome to bring in the router for us to configure free of charge.

They should have no reason to do that and if they do, they're only 
causing problems for themselves with double or triple NAT. I make it 
clear when I install that the router I give them is the only router 
they can use and I will fix/replace it free of charge if THEY don't 
break it. If they cause an issue with my equipment or by adding 
another router and they expect me to fix it, there will be a charge. 
If they follow my instructions, they will be taken care of.

I understand not wanting to touch the router but I want to control 
everything up until I hand off to the customer's equipment which 
means I provide the router.  I hear from too many people that blame 
their ISP like Charter or the phone company for bad internet when 
much of the time it is their own wireless router.  That same bad 
mouthing will happen for my company if the customer continues to use 
crappy routers so I thought I would provide one to them, configure 
it, lock it, and replace it if it ever fails.  That way, I am 
handing out something reliable that works and if they need help, I'm 
there to fix it for them.  In my opinion, that should cut down on 
tech support calls if the router is stable.

My Take on routers.

Off the shelf routers are the #1 trouble issue on the Zig 
network.  Anything from gaming issues, to speed issues, to 
reliability issues. They account for roughly 92% of all calls.  The 
first thing we have the customer do after reboots of everything is 
bypass the router. Most of the time this shows the customer it's 
their router, or something behind it.


In our past life we started out selling routers. We looked for the 
cheapest ones we could find, which at the time were dlink. What we 
found was customers then considered that our equipment. Well the 
router you sold me went out. was something we heard a lot. Or I 
reset the router now you have to come out and configure it


What we are doing this time around is we have only one officially 
approved router. The Mikrotik 751. We have a local computer shop 
which stocks them and sets them up.  What he does as far as support 
is between him and the customer. I am pretty sure he tells them he 
is just a retailer for the product and if they want his help he will 
gladly charge them his hourly rate. All about expectations up front.


By doing all of this we are not in the router business, but the 
customer gets a solid product and cuts down on our calls. In turn we 
have a happier customer base. And if need be, we can actually login 
to their router and do torch, etc.

 So, in big cities, or even small ones in core areas, if you are running
 propagation plots, you would not want to add additional building
 heights. If you want the most accurate results, I suggest 10m DEM's
 (where available) with a good set of building elevation data (the

Re: [WISPA] Simultaneous connections

2009-10-16 Thread Al Stewart
Thanks Tom ...

I know some of the cheaper wireless routers on our system have been 
causing speed problems for various reasons. And I can see the reasons 
for the problems. But for most people, I guess a router is a router, 
and they don't want to spend big bucks.

For myself, I'm looking to replace my own personal D-Link DI-704P 
(wired) with another wired unit. Researching models gives all kinds 
of conflicting info/complaints/recommendations. Someone here 
recommended, so I guess I'll see what I can track down on that.

Yes they can be the cause for numerous reasons.

1) they can start to go flaky, and when gone flaky they can cause hesitent
throughput, (sorta like when a CPU overheats, or when a bus or cache limit
gets exceeded) that will force TCPIP congestion to slow throughput.  Its not
uncommon to have cases where we replace a router with another of the same
brand/model and the speed testing improves by 4x. BUT when this happens it
is because the product had become defective, not because the unit wasn't
originally capable..

2) a 10mbps port does not guarantee that a route can push 10mbps. 10mbps is
just the speed of the NIC itself. Many cheaper or older generation routers
have very slow processors and can slow down with small packet traffic. Not
just processors but memory and bus design. Also, all firmwares might not be
optimize for higher speeds. For example, for GB you might want large network
buffers, where as routers that were developed at the day of 1mbps max DSL,
may have optimized for the typic speed, and used fewer buffers to conserve
RAM, and use less ram to lower costs.

However, MOST routers of current generation are pretty capable, and usually
do fine up at higher speeds.  Also be cautious of using a VPN router,
because it can take quite a bit of overhead to encrypt or compress the
tunnel, and could get slowed at high speed.  The best thing to do is to
certify the peak speed of any Router that you plan to use regularly. Dont
believe the Spec sheet, believe your own Iperf test results.

The issue is how do you tell if a router is flaking out and how can you test
the router's capabilty remotely if a support call arises?
If you dont have a way to test certify it working to spec, how do you know
it is?

This is why we tend to use more power routers when we can. We like them to
have processor powerful enough to run full speed throughput tests directly
to the router.
In other words, A router can always pass much more traffic speeds through
it, than it can actuallu hald directly to or from it.  Having fast
processors in the routers, creating extra headroom, gets aroud this problem.

2009-10-15 Thread Al Stewart
Using a 900 AP (like Trango) theoretically allows up to 3000 (3.0 
meg) bandwidth. But there has to be a limit on how many simultaneous 
connections can go through the AP and maintain bandwidth. At what 
point -- how many using/downloading etc at the same time -- would the 
bandwidth be reduced by usage to below 500 (.5 meg) or lower? There 
has to, logically, be some kind of limit to what the pipe will hande.

I know ... there's no easy answer. We have a situation where in the

4:30 in the afternoon, speeds will drop to 1/4 of that. That says to 
me that there are a number of people doing pretty steady usage ... 
but I could be wrong. There may be other factors.

Grandma and grandpa customers will allow more per ap than a family with 3

My business customers tend to have more steady usage (people listening to
the radio, 10 people checking email every 5 minutes, chat windows open,
remote computing apps etc.).  My home based customers have higher peaks but
use less on a consistent basis.

Here's an interesting note.  We have about 70/30 home vs. business
customers.  It might even be 80/20.  Our business users today use ALMOST as
much bandwidth from 8 to 5 as my home users use from 6 to 11pm.

  to
 end user sold full speed, and CIR set really low (maybe 5% of MIR speed).
 Primary purpose was to reserve ENOUGH minimal capacity for end users to
  have
 a time slice for uploading.
 
 2) At our first hop router, we setup Fair Weighted Queuing, so every
  users
 gets fair weight to available bandwdith.
 
 With 5.8Ghz, we did not use Bandwdith management on the trango itself.
 
 If you have good queuing, customers rarely ever notice when there is
 congestion. They might slow down to 100kbps now and then, but end uses
 really dont realize it for most applications, becaue the degragation of
 service rarely lasts long because oversubscription is low comparatively
  to
 most ISPs.  Usually end use bandwidth tests will still reach in the 1-1.5
 mbps level ranges.  We run about 40-50 users per AP, selling 1mb and 2mb
 plans.
 
   But the key is Queuing If you dont have it, when congestion is
  reached
 packet loss occurs, and degregation is much more noticeable by the end
  user,
 because TCP will become way more sporatic in its self-tunning.  We also
 learned faster speeds w/ Queuing worked much better than Limiting to
  slower
 speeds. We also learned avoid having  speed plans higher than 60-70% of
  the
 radio speed, to minmiize the damage one person can do.
 
 VIDEO can quickly harm that model for the individual end user doing
  video,
 it prevents the video guy from harming all

 their water tower. I am on 3 other city's water tower's in the same area and
 none of them have said anything about filing with them.



 The contract between the village and I states nothing about taxes or
 exchange of money for using the tower.



 1 - Is income derived from clients residing in the village limits taxable as
 income?

 2 - What about income derived from clients residing outside the village
 limits but running off the AP in the village limits?

 3 - Even if so, why do the other ISP's that provide service to residents in
 the village not have to file income tax to this village?

 4 - By filing income within the village I would technically be paying tax on
 income from all my towers generating revenue that have nothing to do with
 their tower.



 As far as I know there is no ordinance regarding internet service within the
 village in any way.

Sasha did not go on a rant per say but would make a disparaging remark with his 
other comments. When I mentioned that a good matrix to start for the 
prerequisites on getting an grant application submitted would be submittal of 
the 477 form he mentioned how all of that data is not very good anyway.
And when the government was mentioning how we need to work within the 
government to get anywhere he mentioned how the government is not helpful in 
working together.  There are other examples and I am just paraphrasing but 
please look at the transcripts and let me know if you think I am off base here.

Well I would say that Teletronics EZ Bridges were good. I have 500 +/- of 
them.

And they have a 200MW version.
But lately, I've been getting some bad ones in my orders.

The 100mw pcb kit is 100.00 or so and the 200mw is 125.00 or so.

But I would caution buyer beware, since buying the pcb only version and 
not the full fledges outdoor unit, I've noticed a lot of doa''s and 
unstable units.


Will be nice when StarVX Lonnie gets his single radio cpe.
I understand it may be in the price range you mentioned.

Al,
   I plan to use a proxy, anyway, to offer filtering.  It would be a LAN 
setup without using live ip addresses.  The bandwidth FAP is a 
concern...

Hello everyone,

   Has anyone successfully used satellite (ie, Directway 7700 or 
similar) as their source of upstream bandwidth?  If so or if not, why? 
How did it turn out?  Any suggestions?  T1's are hard to come by here, 
and I'm still shopping for alternatives.

Rick,
If these are going to be used for Mikrotik, you may want to look
into the 500 series routerboard.  These are a little cheaper (if you
consider the cost of the board, power supply, license, CF and all
the other goodies.  I am not sure the supply is any better on these,
but may be worth a look.
