Re: [WISPA] [Mikrotik] Winter connectivity issues

2008-12-17 Thread Jim Patient
Hey Mark,

Is your AP running 3.17 and firmware 2.18?  If not try updating. 
Try setting hardware retries to 10 and preamble to either short or long 
(whatever Tranzio runs).   I use short on MT clients.

 I have 4 tower locations, only one seems to be having issues. Last
   
 week,
 
 then today I have a few customers on one tower having slow connection
 issues. High ping times from less than 1 ms to 4-500ms with packet
   
 loss.
 
 The one complaining customer has a -56 @ client end and -60 @ AP. The
 common denominator is weather, it is currently about 10 deg F and we
   
 had
 
 some, not a lot of freezing rain last night.

 This tower is running a RB 433 w/ XR2 and HPol omni. New in spring
   
 due
   
 to lightning storm. The only time I experienced issues last year was
 with heavy icing.



 Any thought? Would you think it's the ice or maybe freezing moisture
   
 in
 
 the enclosure?

 Are any of your links not line of sight? I have to back off power on
 some of
 my clients because in the summer they are fine but in the winter
 when
 the
 leaves fall off I get a lot of multi-path which causes poor
 performance.

 I have 4 tower locations, only one seems to be having issues. Last
 week,
 then today I have a few customers on one tower having slow
 connection
 issues. High ping times from less than 1 ms to 4-500ms with packet
 loss.
 The one complaining customer has a -56 @ client end and -60 @ AP.
 The
 common denominator is weather, it is currently about 10 deg F and we
 had
 some, not a lot of freezing rain last night.

 This tower is running a RB 433 w/ XR2 and HPol omni. New in spring
 due
 to lightning storm. The only time I experienced issues last year was
 with heavy icing.



 Any thought? Would you think it's the ice or maybe freezing moisture
 in
 the enclosure?
