RE: [smartBridges] AirBridge Outdoor firmware problem.

[The Wirefree Network]

If you are only running PPPoE from the client router back to your NOC (through the client ABO to the NOC APPO), does it still see multiple clients behind the router??  In other words, NOT running PPPoE on the client device…just the router.   For example: Client 1 and Client 2 behind Router (with PPPoE) ßàABOßàaPPoßàPPPoE/RadiusßàRouter   I thought it would just see ONE client after the ABO, which would be your router (running PPPoE).  I though all the clients behind that router would be transparent??   Is this not true??   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Summers Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2003 1:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] AirBridge Outdoor firmware problem.   We use Linksys Cable/DSL routers for PPPoE login, much like you mention. We have an ABO on top of an office building and we are feeding the customers in the building with this one link. With the latest firmware it wouldn't work, probably because MikroTik wont allow two PPPoE sessions from the same MAC address, but with the older (0.09.10) firmware it passes the MAC of each client and they are able to log in.

Kevin, With my setup, I am putting routers at EVERY client with built-in PPPoE.  This will allow a single login for each client, with DHCP behind it.   With what you are saying below, does that mean that my setup will work?   Thanks, Sully   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Summers Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2003 1:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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?
