Your problem is likely peer to peer file sharing I bet. Do you have the
ability to see what is actually being sent per IP address on your
network? A flood from a peer to peer "attack" can bring your wireless
network to its knees. One client with multiple sessions can do the
damage all by themselves. Star OS and Mikrotik are two things that can
be your friend here. Star OS has nice IP Traffic Analysis tools built
in. I hear Mikrotik can isolate and throttle your peer to peer traffic
to a low level to force some sanity on your network. Best to move this
out to the edge as much as possible to limit the radio airtime from
being flooded with traffic. I have provisions in my acceptable use
policy which limit what a customer can do including no peer to peer use
or allowance for termination if they cause problems on the network. The
key is we shut them down if they break the rules. The network troubles
go away then.
Good luck,

I have three mounted back to back on a pole. It all worked fine until
I hit a higher number of subscribers. Maybe it's the interference
from too many subs or maybe it's the fact that a majority of my subs
are locked into 1M air rate, or maybe its because the subs are NLOS,
or maybe because of the F/B or side to side isolation. So what is my
problems? High pings and timeouts. Only when traffic is high. Or
maybe my 600k upload is maxed out and everything is stacking up. One
thing I do know is I hooked up subs I shouldn't have.
I am looking for advice on antennas. Check out the ones I am using
ans point me to 3 sectors that will perform good back to back, NLOS,
and maybe a higher gain to grab a little more signal to get the 1M
subs up to 11M.
Thanks all.
