Gents, I have a project where the USB ports must support ethernet data pass thru. The router is an x86 board with multiple USB and ethernet ports and the intention would be to connect USB devices and route data to and from those devices as if they were ethernet. To clarify, you would have one or mor...

My question is how to go beyond the simple ping. I have 2 service providers (a DSL line and a fiber line) the intent is that if the fiber line fails, the DSL takes over. Here is my problem. When the fiber has failed in the past, the local router provided by the wholesaler still responds to pings, bu...

I ended up contracting with TimeWarner Cable, my primary competitor, for a 15x2 wholesale line for $250 dollars. They basically gave it away with a 5 year contract. This is a bulk contract, so as I expand, the price will remain the same for my new PoPs. Im almost giddy. I had the line put in last mo...

rarbolay

Thanks for the responses. I can not get bonded aDSL (sadly) but Im working a deal with Time Warner for a 10x10 fiber package. I have not yet been quoted a price, but it would resolve 90% of my current problems.

rarbolay

So, what are most of you using for your wholesale? multiple DSL lines? dedicated T-1s?

rarbolay

Wow, 58 views and not one answer!!!!

rarbolay

We are currently runnning 58 customers (avg 3Mbs) on a single 6Mbs down and 758Kbs up DSL and using a dedicated T-1 for a back up (automatic failover). We tried load balancing but it negativelly impacted my gammers. I have run to the end of my reliable capacity. I have to grow. I have 2 options. I c...

Merry Christmass !!! I have had some of my MT routers lock up and need a restart (unplug and replug) to get restarted.

Can someone check me, I might be doing something wrong. All my traffic is piped thru a MT x86 router.

I have been using L7 from the Wiki for about 2 weeks so far and really happy with it. But, I notice that I can have 2 Mbs of traffic at the interface whil seeing only 300kbs of traffic on the DSL_In qeue? What gives? What traffic am I missing?

Would love to try it but Im having a maalox moment here. Whenever I console or terminal into my router and try to copy and paste the commands from the wiki it fails.

Yeah, I upgraded to 3.16 and it came up. Thanks

I installed 3.15 on a x86. But, where is the PPP buton? I cant find it in winbox?

attempting to attenuate RF interferance on a device that by design has an outdoor antenna is a bit impossible. The purpose of the enclosure is to protect from the environment and disipate heat. Wood or metal? Metal. Metal will disipate the heat created by the card better than wood and will actually ...

I'll give it a shot, but its more related with the dynamic (in my case) addres. I htink that the address is getting stale and instead of renewing on a re-boot, the router keeps the same address.

itfutura, what did you do diferently? You stated that you were having issues and now say that you have have been running for X number of days without problems. What is the change?

I am assuming that router a is connected to the internet and that router b is connected to router a. I also assume that you have multiple public (real) ip addresses available. So: 1- Add another public ip address to the interface that is connected to the internet. 2- write a NAT rule were the source...

Dubaiboy, you have correctly identified that there is a problem. Your numbers are totally wrong. -Check your pigtail connection to the radio card.

The problem with capturing ports is that Vonage by design, runs the connection on UDP random 10000-20000 port. I was able to finally prioritize the packages last night (I had made a mistake in my que tree) but will still prefer to send the traffic over my T-1.

Understanding static WDS then. you select wds-static mesh and then add the mac address of the desired wds neighbors to the connect list with a yes statement and end the list with a no statement. And this does not affect the clients. Clients can still connect, using a single ssid, to any of the IP, c...

Uldis, that sounds like a very interesting solution. So you would set the APs on AP mode with Dynamic WDS and the cars on station mode dynamic wds?

rarbolay

Not that easy. I tried that at first and although it does not issue that IP address to anyone else, it will issue the client a diferent IP next time it requests. My guess is that the button "make static" does exactly what it says. It turns that IP into a static IP address, not a reserved I...

rarbolay

Wow, fairly pricey. Please let us know how they work as compared with the ubiquity filters. At twice the price, they better be good. I also noticed that they are 5.5mhz wide. Do you order them by the frequency?

rarbolay

Do you need to add them to both the clients and the AP or just the AP?

rarbolay

Hytanium, who did you get the new cavity filters from?

rarbolay

My guess it that it does it by limiting the attempts to connect at a higher rate. Typically wireless routers attempt to transmit at the highest speed possible and then adjust downwards as package losses become unacceptable. By giving up the higher speeds, you limit the wasted attempts at the higher ...

rarbolay

Interesting. Will this work in regular 2.4ghz I wonder? BTW what do you guys recommend B or G?

rarbolay

Did some light testing last night and got no better coverage than the SR9s. Actually my noise floors went sky high. I am going to be replacing the rb112 with a rb133 and try again. Somehow I get the feeling that the 112 really cant deal with the high power demand of the SR9/XR9.

rarbolay

Actually, I left it alone for a few hours and it started working just fine after a reboot. My only complaint is that RC6 does not recognize the XR9s as 900mhz, so Im back at using the chart.

rarbolay

I installed and did some testing with my XR9s today. Kind of disappointed. Replaced the pigtails, and the 3 foot antenna cable. No improvement over the SR9s. Actually my noise floors shot up to -85ish (from -100ish) and I got no better connections. Im going to try a different sector antenna (ouch) a...

Just wondering if RC6 is compatible with RB112. I TFTPed RC6 into my experimental tower (RB112 with an SR9) and I cant connect to it anymore. I can ping it, and it tries to connect, but it fails.

Thank you for your response. I just received 2 XR9s that I will install this weekend in my test tower and my truck. I need to be able to service a 3 mile radius from the tower. Not many hills (other than the one Im putting the tower, but lots of tree coverage. Hopefully they will work. I need them t...

Never mind, tried it and love it thanks. The more I use the Dude the more I love it.

rarbolay

Please explain.

rarbolay

Lets see if I uderstand your question. You configured and bench tested your 2 APs and they were working just fine in WDS mode, but now, on the towers, they dont talk to each other? Have you checked interfearance? How about changing the frequency?

rarbolay

How are the XR9s working out for you?

rarbolay

I contacted Mike (support@ubnt.com) got responses asking more details from him and one of his people (will have to dig up the name). I provided the details and got back nada. I give up on the SR9s. I figure that if the XR9s dont work for me I'll just go to Zcomax cards and try them. I really want th...

rarbolay

Change the antenna connection on the card to the outside port (u.Fl) see the data sheet:

I will assume that you have tested the antenna cable and the antenna polarization with a known good card.

rarbolay

I just ordered 2 XR9s for testing. Not gonna hold my breath on the trade up/in. Ubiquiti is good on responding to customer concerns, they just dont follow thru. Hopefully the XR9s will deliver.

rarbolay

Thanks for the answers. Has anyone used the new XR9s? I understand that they have built in cavity filters.

rarbolay

Question. If I install a cavity filter on my AP will that be enough? Or do I have to install them on the CPEs as well?

rarbolay

I would like to hear from Ubiquity. Is ubiquity exchanging the SR9s for XR9s?

rarbolay

Good to know that they are releasing a new 900mhz card. I really would like to migrate to 900mhz in my business but have had horrible luck with ubiquity SR-9s. Hopefully I can upgrade them to the XR-9s.
