[WISPA] mikrotik issue.
I have a RB411 that continuously gets disconnected from the access unit with the following message in the log. It happens every couple of minutes. disconnected, extensive data loss. Has anyone seen this before and have any suggestions on how to fix it? The signal strength is -64db and the client has an 18db gain yagi antenna. The cell is running n-stream and configured for 802.11b. Thanks --Eric Roth Technology Specialist Webjogger Internet Services (845) 757-4000 www.webjogger.net WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] mikrotik issue.
Interference would be my first guess. Usually a station disconnects when it doesn't have the SNR to sustain association.

Re: [WISPA] mikrotik issue.
Extensive data loss means that you have tried to resend wireless frames, though the hw-retries, and its failed 3 times sequentially. On top of that you are already at the lowest data rate, therefore it disconnects due to extensive data loss. --- Dennis Burgess, Mikrotik Certified Trainer Link Technologies, Inc -- Mikrotik WISP Support Services Office: 314-735-0270 Website: http://www.linktechs.net http://www.linktechs.net/ LIVE On-Line Mikrotik Training http://www.onlinemikrotiktraining.com/ - Author of Learn RouterOS http://routerosbook.com/ From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Eric Roth Sent: Thursday, October 06, 2011 1:30 PM To: 'WISPA General List' Cc: supp...@webjogger.net Subject: [WISPA] mikrotik issue.

[WISPA] Pulling my hair out
Earlier this week one of the APs running 900MHz with SR9 in RB433s with RB133 and RB411 clients started dropping clients and they would come right back. I tried different frequencies, etc. Then it cleared up in the morning. OK, maybe it is RTK or the weather or ... Happened again the next night night. Replaced the AP electronics, antenna and 65' of LMR400. Nothing I did seemed to make a bit of difference. I did have a couple of clients that were actually off wrong sector, behind this one. Changed them to the proper AP this morning. 5:30 tonight 2 customers called within 2 minutes. Both off the AP in question. I looked. None of the 14 clients would stay registered for more than 10 seconds. Wildest registration table I have ever watched. Nothing seemed to make a difference. I finally moved everyone to the access list and disabled them. Enabled them one-by-one. Found tow that would drop and come back and then apparently knock down everyone else. Left them disabled and enabled all the others. Let it run that way 1 hour with no drops. Enabled on of the 2 clients that was disabled. It has now been up for over 52 minutes. Turn on the last one and all goes out to lunch. Turn it off and everything is OK. Obviously that CPE has a problem. Two reasons for the post: 1) Clients can cause the whole AP to misbehave. 2) Anyone have any trouble shooting tips on how to know whether to check AP or clients first? -- Scott Reed Owner NewWays Networking, LLC Wireless Networking Network Design, Installation and Administration Mikrotik Advanced Certified www.nwwnet.net (765) 855-1060 (765) 439-4253 (855) 231-6239 WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Pulling my hair out
At this point you dont know if 1) It was client traffic/usage or traffic type causing the problem. (streaming, DDOS, MAC level virus, etc) 2) Client Interference causing the problem. (For example hidden node) 3) Actually failing client hardware. 4) a Poor quality link, attempting to pass excessive traffic. 5) a software timing issue, or software config issue. (Is it running 802.11, or NStreme polling? A or N? Is there anything unique about this CPE set up? Improper bridging config? IP conflict?Enryption or not? ) I would start out by testing the problem link individually, to determine if the individual link performs OK. (That could require taking off other subs, which is not easy.) Maybe even ask the customer to unplug his Soho router or PC from the Outdoor radio's POE, so CPE radio is isolated from LAN traffic, and see if it causes any problems associated without customer's traffic. Then you can slow load up his CPE, to see at what points the sector starts to have issues. Does the trouble CPE have a lower RSSI ? Could it be being effected by interference sooner, because of link strength? You are looking for whether this radio is sending an excessive amount of TX retries, monopolizing AP's time, starving the other CPEs? or if its interference, and all CPE start having retries, when the trouble CPE is added back.

Re: [WISPA] Open Range Closes: Broadband's Solyndra @$240M???
All I can say is That is one more potential HUGE competitor that is no longer going to be a threat to the small business WISP. The jingle that keeps ringing in my head is, another one bites the dust, ah. What I ask is... Did RUS keep or get the Tax Payer's money back? Or did it get spent and lost?

There's a reason that economics is called the dismal science. It is not intuitively obvious, and is thus prone to demagoguery. Open Range, on the other hand, appears to be a simple case of JP Morgan's influence peddling to get a big loan for a risky venture from the Bush administration. I wonder if they will end up losing their bet, or if there is some trick in there to get JP Morgan Chase paid back. Note how Iridium was Motorola's idea, and lost several billion, but Motorola came out ahead (and Chase, being the marks that time, lost).

Interesting, but not surprising given the whole story. The RUS (part of the USDA) usually just funds incumbent LECs, not WISPs. In 2008, Open Range got $100M from JP Morgan Chase and then a bigger RUS loan. The plan was to use Globalstar's ATC frequencies. Globalstar was a low Earth orbit satellite (LEOsat) constallation launched in the late 1990s. I think Qualcomm was originally behind it; the idea was to be a simple bent-pipe repeater for CDMA satphones. They were competing with the uber-baroque Iridium network, which of course bombed miserably (I had a bit of an inside seat watching that failure; it was kind of funny). GlobalStar's original satellites kind of went haywire in 2007 and some of the replacements have been flaky too, which is not doing them a lot of good. Satellites were granted ancillary terrestrial component (ATC) rights as a way to fill in gaps in satellite coverage; later this was expanded to permit terrestrial-only users. That's what LightSquared is trying to do. Open Range made a deal to use GlobalStar's ATC, but something went wrong and the FCC revoked it in 2010. So Open Range has some license problems. All that money and no place to go. They were also trying to make a deal with LightSquared, but I think that was for MVNO use of the network, not frequency leases. I think the key difference between Open Range and your basic WISP is that Open Range wanted to play Wall Street's game: Take a lot of money, spend big and fast, and hope for a return. A WISPA member can't afford to waste money that way. I wonder if Open Range has much cash left. I don't see how they could have spent it without access to enough spectrum. -- Fred Goldsteink1io fgoldstein at ionary.com ionary Consultinghttp://www.ionary.com/ +1 617 795 2701 -- Fred Goldsteink1io fgoldstein at ionary.com ionary Consultinghttp://www.ionary.com/ +1 617 795 2701 -- WISPA Wants You!
