I mentioned a few months
ago that with the AirBridge
firmware 0.09.10
(transparent bridge) I was able to get
two PPPoE clients on the
network behind it at the same
time.
I've now verified in a
live environment that the latest
firmware 0.01.07 does NOT
allow multiple users of ANY
kind to log in to a
MikroTik box. While a customer was
logged in and functioning
with PPPoE, my laptop could not
get a PPTP connection,
and another customer with PPPoE
couldn't get on
either.
I downgraded the firmware
to 0.09.10 and everything started
to work that way it's
supposed to.
Having said that, here's
the problem I've been wrestling with
for 3 months
now.
The Access Point is an
ABI 4.5 miles away with good line-of-sight
to the ABO with a 19db
grid. I get 100% RSSI and 92-98% Signal
Quality. When testing
throughput from the switch up at the AP I get
just over 2 megabit back
to the NOC. When testing from behind this
ABO I have never been
able to get more than 700K, and it's currently
getting 450-600K. I just
can't seem to get this link to go any
faster.
I've
tried,
- A different
radio
- 3 different antennas
(13db panel, 15db grid, 19db grid)
- Changed the antenna
cable
- moved the antenna base
and re-aimed the antenna
Any
suggestions?
