I also seem to remember someone in my area like Nate or George posting about problems with a Trango Apex Plus backhaul feeding an ePMP sector and getting low throughput but not seeing the same problem with a 450 sector on the same backhaul. If I remember correctly they were kind of pointing the finger at Trango, athough from the symptoms I wasn’t sure that was clear since the 450 seemed to deal with it better. I’m not sure if the OP had a router between the backhaul and the APs, or just a switch.

I suspect whoever posted those was talking about a situation where traffic gets bursted over one link and overflows the buffers in the next device. Also I would ask what hardware on the Mikrotik routers. I remember having a problem with a Maxxwave ATOM box if I had a GigE interface running at FastE (because the radio interface was only 10/100), it would exhibit severe packet loss. Downgrading to 5.x firmware fixed that problem. I think that was also some kind of interface buffer issue.

Put a mikrotik at the end point, and run tests from there to all the intermediate points. Isolate the segment (or segments) that are causing you grief. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 8/20/2016 11:43 AM, Jordan Gregory wrote: So here are the things i've tried. Both my main Netonix Switch and the microtik switches has flow control turned on. I disabled it and actually, if possible, the speed got worse. So i re-enabled it. I'm still unable to pass more the 3Mbps anywhere though. I've been able to replicate this on every sector now. It has to be something upstream from the access points, but I'm just not sure where to look at this point.

I have disabled it now. Customer is asleep now i'm sure, so I can't have them check. But I'll know more in the morning. This was happening on all SMs though, so I may fire one up just to see.

Have you looked for CRC or FCS errors on any ethernet links? Unfortunately, the ePMP gear does not have ethernet CRC errors stats. What about flow control on your GigE interfaces? Have you ran iperf from behind the SM all the way through to your router? You say 750Mbps. Are they AirFiber radios? Flow control is what comes to my mind there. If you have flow control enabled anywhere, turn it off and see if end-user speed increases. We don't use it because pause frames cause jitter for VoIP.

I have a cambium support ticket open, but that may take a while. I've dug through every setting I can find and can't see anything that would be causing this. Here is the generic layout of my network: SM --><-- AP --> L3 Switch --> BH Radio --> <-- BH Radio --> Switch --> Router --> Internet I've tested the speed (iperf) all the way from my router to my l3 swtich at the tower and I'm getting roughtly 750Mbps avg to the l3 switch. I've tested throughput on the switch as well and I was easily passing 5Gbps through it. I've seen no speed mismatch errors anywhere on the network.

The wireless link test will only show it passing roughly what it is queued at. Also, check the MCS column. If it;s a good link it will be at the max Rate setting configured under the radio config of the ap On 8/18/2016 11:46 AM, Jordan Gregory wrote: Good day list, I have a Force 200 operating at very good signal levels but for some reason, I can seem to get any more than 3Mbps out of the connection.
