Hi,

With a product like Trango, they have a utility called "linktest" that shows packet loss after sending ten sets of 100 packets and measuring on both sides the loss:

[suid] 2 [pkt len] 1600 bytes [# of pkts per cycle] 100 [cycle] 10

[AP Total nTx]    1000 pkts
[AP Total nRx]    957 pkts
[AP Total nRxErr] 0 pkts

[SU Total nTx]    1000 pkts
[SU Total nRx]    981 pkts
[SU Total nRxErr] 0 pkts

[AP to SU Error Rate] 1.90 %
[SU to AP Error Rate] 4.30 %

[Avg of Throughput]   5004 Kbps

Something like this would be VERY helpful if you could right-click on the wireless link in the registrations tab and run something like this. :)

Under tools in winbox there are several solutions from ping floods to 
torch (a per stream traffic analyzer), under the interface you can look 
at the status tab to get CCQ (quality) readings to exactly how much 
traffic is being compressed by hardware data compression.  In a terminal 
it would be under /tool or /interface wireless.
Is there something specific you are looking for?

Hi,

Has anyone found any good tools to do troubleshooting on Mikrotik 
wireless links? Many other vendors provide tools (i.e. Trango has "su 
ping", "testrflink" and "linktest") that allow testing of an individual 
wireless link directly from the AP. The only thing I have found with 
Mikrotik is their bandwidth test and it doesn't show much information.

Any help or ideas are appreciated.
