RE: [smartBridges] Slow down problems

[Luke Mackinnon]

HI There,   We have well over 30-40 clients per AP and 4 AP on the one tower. It sounds as though you are trying all that we have done. Our APs all connect to unquire Ethernet interfaces on our access concentrator and this is where we take care of bandwidth management.   It is curious though that we too had similar problems at the beginning of this year when our state was on fire and, hot dry air with lots of smoke resulted in a much of CPE shorting… not SB CPE though mind you.   Could be related to the smoke..   Regards, Luke Mackinnon Planet Netcom Sydney, Australia   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Blazen Wireless Sent: Wednesday, 29 October 2003 4:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Slow down problems   Yes I tried that (2 meg) and its still crap. No encryption I have everything running at the basic level. ----- Original Message ----- From: Derek Breiland To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2003 8:13 PM Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Slow down problems   Are you letting them all run at 11MB?  Have you tried backing the AP's of to no more than 2MB?  Are running 128 bit encryption?  If so you may want to back it down to no more than 64 bit.  128 bit is unnecessary in my opinion.  ----- 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
