Re: [WISPA] MT tools
There are a number of things to do to gauge the quality of a link with MT. CCQ is one. Signal levels, as well as Ping tests will give you most of what you wish. All three put together will tell you. Also, a ping test over a period of time is helpful as well. Dennis M.

Hearing good things about routeros 3.2 I upgraded my office system. Big problem, look before you leap. I had an old soekris X86 client system with a prisim card talking to another 2.9.x system with an SR2 radio. I upgraded from 2.9.50, to 3.2 and ran into some issues, like my ethernet port(bridge) lost its address. Thats not too bad, but the RF link was out and out weird. When I pinged the AP from the upgraded client I would get 500% packet GAIN. Tons of dups. Anyway, in hindsight, Is there any problem with the new MT drivers and prisim radios? What is the best (read safest) way to upgrade? Sure glad this was just the office system, and only wasted my time versus network outages. Thanks all!

But you are right, the best approach might be to Email MT directly. But the truth is, Emailing support by an individual will likely not get results. Manufacturers tend to want to see numerous individuals interested in the command or feature to jsutify the effort doing it. By discussing these flaws on a list, is to get all the members familiar with why these tools are needed, and possibly more members will add additional support inquiriies to request these improvements. For one, I'd like to see the Mikrotik Consultants get involved in asking for these features. If the consultants that specialize in the product don't understand what we need, its not that likely that the manufacurer would either. Consultants that represent the manufacturer have much more pull with them, and a better relationship to discuss these things, and most importantly credabilty, to effect change. With Trango, we effect change, and the reason is that we deal direct with the manufacturer and they hear us. With channel support models, like Microtik offers, the manufacturer can lose touch with the end customer. It becomes an even worse problem when the manufacturer sells super cheap (which we like), and the volume grows and each end user's opinion becomes less relevent. One thing I'm very happy about was Mikrotik's support joining as a WISPA vendor member. (Butch, possibly you one also ?) I believe this gets WISP and Manufacturer closer in touch. I'm hoping that these threads are not misinterpretted as manufacturer bashing, but interpretted as communication, that will effect product improvements. The truth is MT probably offers better testing tools than most WIFI product out there. But there is still room for improvements.

Camacho Jr. Sent: Friday, February 22, 2008 9:18 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Mikrotik VRRP Sam I believe the problem you are having here related to the fact that the VRRP aren't synchronized on both sides of your routers. For example: MT1 world fails to MT2, however MT1 still has a valid VRRP for the AP side. Down stream traffic from world actually now is hitting MT2 and proceeds to AP, however the upstream path for AP to the world actually passes through MT1 which has the failed link. Unless there is a process to synchronize the VRRPs you will not be able to get the desired effect. Ideally when MT1 fails, MT2 must become master for all VRRPs.
