RE: [smartBridges] AirBridge Outdoor firmware problem.

Are you using MikroTik? Are you having slowness problems out to the net? I've got some clients that are having very slow response (60-90Kbps) from the net, but they get 400-600K from our NOC.

I have the same problem now matter where I go the best I can do is about 1.5 megs down and that is NOT going to the net but going direct to a server at the noc downloading an MP3 file uncompressed..   ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Summers To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2003 1:35 PM Subject: [smartBridges] AirBridge Outdoor firmware problem. I mentioned a few months ago that with the AirBridge firmware 0.09.10 (transparent bridge) I was able to get two PPPoE clients on the network behind it at the same time.   I've now verified in a live environment that the latest firmware 0.01.07 does NOT allow multiple users of ANY kind to log in to a MikroTik box. While a customer was logged in and functioning with PPPoE, my laptop could not get a PPTP connection, and another customer with PPPoE couldn't get on either.   I downgraded the firmware to 0.09.10 and everything started to work that way it's supposed to.   Having said that, here's the problem I've been wrestling with for 3 months now.   The Access Point is an ABI 4.5 miles away with good line-of-sight to the ABO with a 19db grid. I get 100% RSSI and 92-98% Signal Quality. When testing throughput from the switch up at the AP I get just over 2 megabit back to the NOC. When testing from behind this ABO I have never been able to get more than 700K, and it's currently getting 450-600K. I just can't seem to get this link to go any faster.   I've tried,   - A different radio - 3 different antennas (13db panel, 15db grid, 19db grid) - Changed the antenna cable - moved the antenna base and re-aimed the antenna   Any suggestions?
