[WISPA] Rocket M5 Dish high latency

We are working on deploying a pair of M5 dishes on our network bridging point a and point b. When we plug in the network to the dishes, the ping times climb to 1200+ms on side b of the bridge, and equipment local to the side b of the bridge, and time out after two or more hops, essentially bringin

Isn't -53 a little too hot? Are you using WDS? I don't know if AirMax has changed this but I know one used to need to run with WDS on for a purely transparent bridge. Greg On Jul 25, 2011, at 12:07 PM, Patrick D. Nix, Jr wrote: > We are working on deploying a pair of M5 dishes on our network b

Sounds like you are creating a loop somewhere... Is this a routed network ? or a bridge Network. (Make sure that you have WDS on for fully transparent bridge) and also make sure you turn off Enable Discovery in the first tab (picture of airmax logo)... (equivalent CDP in the cisco world). Als

It is routed, using miktrotik routers. Do I use WDS with airmax? I don't think it is a loop because the other bridges are basically doing the same thing but not seeing the same problem. They are Trango link 45's Sent from my iPad On Jul 25, 2011, at 12:04 PM, "Faisal Imtiaz" wrote: > Sounds
