janisk's example is just a funny way to explain that "aggregate" means "up- and download traffic combined" in this aspect.

"duplex": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duplex_%28 ... cations%29
"aggregate": http://www.collinslanguage.com/results. ... =aggregate

We all know what it means. The example was only a bit funny.

groove has 100MBps ethernet interface, so, you can saturate that, and then still have some upload left (25MBps).

i can never reach 100Mbps in my setups, even at very close range < 2km, good clean area (no noise), max i get is 80mbps (oneway)TCP, 95Mbps UDP (oneway), once i have it running on both, bandwidth drops to half (about 45mbps + 45Mbps => worst on TCP).

Any tips to make it 100Mbps (ethernet speed)?

here is my 5km test result:

go for NV2 for TCP throughput.

Just giving this thread a bump...

Normis: Is there a 2.4Ghz version of the groove in the pipeline? Near term?


- would appreciate any info (getting tired of having to assemble cpe's!)

or attend MUM in Vegas... same country.

hi there, does anyone knows how to make the groove AP to show signal LEDS?,

the STA is OK...showing the singnal leds

ros 5.7

to AP.... LEDs

Type:wireless signal strenght
led1,led2,led3,led4,led5

interface:wlan1

what I`m doing wrong?

I have also tryed to Type: modem signal... but the leds than stay ON all the time regarding the signal strenght...even if I turn off the STA... the LEDs on AP will stay on in this mode... and like I said... using on Type: wireless signal strenght ... the LEDs does not lit at all.


PS: I really like the groove so far, comes with power adapter 24v 0.8Ah, poe injector and 2 plastic strips, and yes... it is more cheap than the bullet m5hp witch comes with none of those... and not to mention the runing software with is 10000000 years more advanced than the AirOS witch comes to ubiquiti... ooooo and .. the VOLTAGE MONITOR witch is WHAT every one who runs a solar site NEEDS!....not to forget the beeper witch plays mario theme on startup

We have a 4 links with Groove HW. 40Mhz with Nstreme ccq 80-90% max 70mbps (50ms ping) ccq falls on 50%....personaly I expected more

Try nv2 nstreme And you Will have more speed

And no one knows this? How to make the ap to show signal leds??????

Sent from my GT-S5830 using Tapatalk

using NV2 = max 3mbps ccq 5% and time out

Uhm, is there anyway to make N devices to work with 40Mhz (G-Turbo) band?

choose 20/40Mhz on AP device. or did you mean 802.11G ? 2,4G?

me Like Mikrotik

using NV2 = max 3mbps ccq 5% and time out

Bad config or link.

Well, probably because it is in AP mode.... What signal do you want? AP usually has several stations connected, so how does AP knows which signal to show? So it is useless feature and thus probably not available in software.
Go to your register tab in wireless to see the signal strength of each associated client.

what did you mean bad config? Nstreme with frame policy best fit on 4000, signal -64/-64 ccq is cca 80% registration rate 100-150mbps (changing) in BT UDP test 60mbps then ccq fall on 50%.

bullet M5 HP on this link is going on 90mbps no problem....

Any ideas? What I shlould change in config? Or try?...any ideas? thanks

contact support@mikrotik.com with the support output file where the speed is low.
Try to use rate-selection=advanced (us only with the latest versions, currently, v5.7).

Send BT test is going about 50-60mbps .....(ccq fall on 50%)
In this receive BT test ccq is so good 80-90%, ping 30ms but it wil stop on 73mbps... why? ccq is good, CPU is only on 40%...
I tried advanced data rates...no change.

Try specifying the speed in Btest rather than letting it scale. Uldis mentioned this in his wireless presentation at MUM the other day.

receive test with 100/100m
send test is the same but with 91mbps and 30ms ping
Maybe I need better signal?

What's the CPU utilisation of the remote end?

I think, same like on this side???

it is good idea to check both ends, since there can be different problems with wireless links.

Is there anybody with groove link? I mean somebody with BT test over 100mbps

...

Did you try lower than 4000? or any other frame policy?

The ccq has to be over 90%.

Please give more details about the link.

- Distance?
- Line of Sight - clear fresnel zone?
- Antennas?

no, I have 3999 (advice from internet forum)

distance 3km, JIROUS JR24 vs. JIROUS JR29

can you recommend me any other frame policy?

Fresnell is not very clear but is ?Line of sight? I see other side..

choose 20/40Mhz on AP device. or did you mean 802.11G ? 2,4G?

yes any 802.11G, 2.4Ghgz or 5Ghz, ie:

N device to connecto to an AP with 802.11G (40Mhz or g-turbo)

no, I have 3999 (advice from internet forum)

distance 3km, JIROUS JR24 vs. JIROUS JR29

Fresnell is not very clear but is ?Line of sight? I see other side..

I prefer using 32dBi antennas (solid dish or 80cm satellite dish + 5GHz feeder) and use lower tx power.

Also i have seen more stable results with best fit and 3200.

thanks for advice I will try..

groove is 802.11n device, it does not support turbo modes (40MHz channel) for 802.11a and 802.g modes.


What you can do on AP is select 5ghz-a/n mode and then choose 20/40MHz channel width. As result clients will connect using 802.11a to 20 MHz channel and other client will be able to connect using 5GHz 802.11n and use 40MHz HT channel.

turbo mode is not the same as 40MHz HT channel.

also, why not to use 802.11n? more data at same channel width.

why not to use 802.11n? more data at same channel width.

because, there are currently many sites that already on turbo mode and all of their clients are turbo enabled (not supporting 802.11n).

hmm seems like we to have to stick with Rb411 and R52/R52H ....
and hoping they are not discontinued very soon.

yeah, after align antenna I have -53/-53 ccq + - 100%..

BT test groove-groove 97mbps Receive / 97mbps send....of coutre Nstreme best fit 3999 .
Now I have a question, can groove generate more data? over 97mbps? because it stops on 97mbps....ccq is still 100%, ping 1-10ms where is the problem?

You should run a throughput test between 2 units that are connected to each end of your groove-groove link. This way the CPU of these external units produce the data and the groove's only have to pass the traffic. Now you can really 'see' how much your link can carry.
Probably you run into 100% cpu capacity if you have the groove also produce the data stream....

propably you are right...

nice, have you tried tcp?
mine never hit any greater than 75mbps in tcp(one way), UDP has been 97-98mbps.
using nv2, ccq 100%, ping varies from 2-15 (nv2 characteristic), Signal -54/-58.

btw there's no point chasing after something over 100mbps, cos its ether only works on 100Mbps (upto)

You only have 100M FD connection don't you?

I dont have got enough HW to do TCP test. Behind groove there is only UBNT M5 sector. But now groove works perfectly. Primary the groove L3 is cheaper than ubnt bullet M5 HP and result is same.

are groove and Ubiquiti bullet 5m compatible with each other?
Does the mimo technology yet?

Propably in 802.11a ....I think thats not a good idea....

I found this site, the groove can not communicate with the bullet 5M.
I will regret if I want to gradually switch to the groove.
A wonderful device.

It can, you only have to set both as legacy 802.11a device. Ubnt airmax or MT-NV2 is both propietary TDMA which means in that mode they cannot.
But in legacy they have to comply with the IEEE 802.11a standard and thus they can...

If i use groove for point to point 10km which antenna is suitable Omni Or Grid . And how much dbi antenna wanted

Grid of course
