Re: [smartBridges] Slow down problems

After further thought here are the list of things that I would try.   If doing 128 bit encryption-change it to 64 bit - it is plenty   18VDC power supplies if running POE over 150' (I think the specs may even be 120')   Disable auto fallback in basic settings on both the AP's and clients.  Set the AP's to 1Mps and 2Mps and force all clients to 2Mps.  If you have multiplt clients continually changing speeds it may be causing a problem.  I have also disabled roaming and force the client to connect to a specific AP.  If you have clients continually switching AP's that is not going to help either.   Do you see the client radios disassociating and reassociating during all of this?   I have also seen a few times that when I add a new client, the AP's come to a crawl.  I reset the all AP's and all comes back to normal.  To reset the AP is transparent to the user.  Generally drop one ping during the reset.  Not something one should have to do, bit of it works.......   Smartbridges folks, what are the the recommended number of users on an AP at 128 bit encryption, 64 bit encryption, and no encryption?   I am using 3 AP's with Maxrad MSP23013 120 sector panels on 160' tower.   You I see have to AP's.  What antennas are you using and what channels are they set to?  Are they both using the same SSID? ----- Original Message ----- From: Blazen Wireless To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2003 5:17 PM Subject: [smartBridges] Slow down problems We give up! We cant add any more users to our system total of 60 split between 2 APPO's 30 each at max. We added 2 more today and now we have hardly any users downloading and best we can do is about 300KBPS down... This SUCKS! is it possibly due to all the smoke in the air which I would find hard to believe BUT you never know.   What's the deal with the XO stuff is it done it sure could be nice to have one to test and see if it is worth $900.. I am very frustrated at not being able to figure this out. It all points back to the radios (APPO's) not being able to process all the associated radios to it? I change the SSID so only a few people 10-12 can associate to the APPO and there is NO pro problems. I allow all the users to associate to the APPO and WHAM crap city throughput goes to hell pings skyrocket just with one user surfing on and off.. how can this NOT point to the radios inability to keep up? Why would just idle radios associated to the APPO have such a bad effect on the APPO?   I have 6 users ready to cancel due to the crappy service I am getting from these radios I don't understand how someone else claims 60 plus users on ONE APPO and they are fine? what speeds are you offering what are your settings on the APPO and the clients associated to it. What ant are you using? any amps etc etc..         Martin & Steve Blazen Wireless www.blazenwireless.com
