I have several hundered Mikrotiks running. Am I having a big dumb attack or is this a new issue of some type!!

OK, this sounds so dumb but has anyone experienced a problem where firewall rules don't stay sequenced. We sort by rule no. close the firewall window and when you reopen it the rules are out of sequence. Acts like the rules are sorting on another column even though we sort on sequence number. Runnin...

Just checking to see if auto tx power leveling and auto channel selection is important in your deployments. If so have you figured outt a method to achieve this? We have looked very hard at Cisco and others that have a method of adjusting tx power up and down as well as choosing the best channel to ...

I think you are correct, we don't have anyone in the company at this time that writes scripts. I downloaded the Dude last night and discovered CPE on a couple of sectors. I am very impressed with the improvments over earlier versions. We are going to setup a new server to start implementing the Dude...

We have a large number of Mikrotik AP's deployed with PW 120' Vertical sectors. We run ch 1 on sector 0, 6 on 120, and 11 on 240. We recently discovered that we are causing our own high noise levels. For example, we have tower A with CPE connecting to sector 240. We have tower b 6 miles from a on an...

Thanks so much for your responce. I have to asgree with you. I just finished a couple of days of meetings with 2 of the major Mesh hardware players. Although the AP cost is over twice of what Mikrotik would cost I am not getting any feed back from Mikrotik or other WISP's that v3.x is ready for this...

Over the past few months I have posted several questions attempting to find some one who has deployed OS v3.x in a mesh deployment over a couple hendred AP's. I usually get no replies so I am trying one more time. I am willing to hire someone to assist in the design of the project. We can't take tim...

No one intereted in this project?

TomKolb

We currently have over 4000 clients with over 1500 Mikrotik routers deployed. We are in the process of designing a large scale Metro Mesh WiFi network consisting of 1600 mesh nodes and would like to use Mikrotik if we casn find someone who has extensive experience in MME, OSPF, BGP, and HA. We don't...

TomKolb

I don't know if anyone is keeping track of who is interested but please add my name to the list.

TomKolb

Has anyone used the Mikrotik mesh routing protocol?

TomKolb

Havn't been able to find and discussions of real world Mesh deployments using MT MME. We are starting equipment testing for a 42 sq mile Metro WIFI Mesh and will most liekly test 25 or so MT AP's in a test mode. I am interested if anyone has any experience deploying MME in a large scale Mesh. Thanks

Of course no documentation is out yet in v3. I have tried to get a simple transparent half of full duplex bridge configuration working in v3 on RB333. For full duplex I used Nstreme dual config and was not able to get the ether interfaces to bridge traffic. In half duplex have tried wds configs I us...

TomKolb

Thanks for your replies. What we are trying to do is to configure RB333 Nstreme2 links appear as a bridge to the network. We want to avoid routing on the 333's due to the need for high bandwidth requirments. At this time we have the Nstreme2 link working fine. We can't figure out how to make the eth...

TomKolb

per the 2.9 manual you can not run nstreme2 with WDS. Can we make a transparent bridge using 2 RB333 w/RC4 boards in nstreme2 configuration?

Thanks
Tom

TomKolb

Thanks for the links in your post MyThoughts. This was neven intended to be an accurate test. It was a quick test I ran after reading the docs in the links I mentioned in my post. What I plan to do is to select 2 towers as described below. We are going to select the water tower and tower based upon ...

TomKolb

I asume the 79 and 80 is the db you got from card 1 to card 2 or visa versa. When you did you link speed test what was you noise floor and you signal level from the other end.

Thanks

Hi Oldman and all, Have you tested Pine tree penetration when you have a lite mist or heavy morning due. We have when you have the needles covered by very small water droplets Pine trees become very difficult to penetrate. In many cases even 1 big tree will kill the connection.

If you do mac auth you need to disable it their also.

I would install cavity filerss to eleminate youir receiver having to deal with the noise out side of the channel of interest. Ore your customers reregistering rapidly?

TomKolb

We setup a firewall rule to look at the list of IP in the drop list and within the 1st 12 hours we dropped 125,000 syn connection attempts. They are mostly dns lookups. What was very interesting we had 20 or so customers to call for support stating thay can not surf. We found that the DNS setting of...

TomKolb

Please! This is not to start a debat over if BETA should be used in production. We have a few AP's in high noise and heavy load locations. After reading the threads on DISABLE-CSMA I am very interested in trying this in a production site for testing. The hardware is RB532a 1-XR2 with a 120d sector. ...

Recently I have been reading a lot about near or ajancent interferance. I did a quick test of self interferance by installing a XR2 and a CM9 card on the same rb. I had no pigtails installed while running the test. Scan from the CM9, I saw a 75db from the XR2. Scan from the XR2 I saw a 85db from the...

Thanks for the feedback, I have polling enabled, framer policy=none, framer limit=3200. I have read that most people have left the framer policy and limit set to default. It seems Nstreme has worked well with low sub counts. What number of subs seems to be the upper limit. I have some AP's running 5...

An update on my last post. We just finished removing the Tranzeo and replaced with a XR2. Had the same problem as with the SR2. I lowered the Tx power down and found that at 17dB all stay connected with no problems at all. To test I set the power back up to 25dB and got deauths again. I was hopiong ...

TomKolb

We have deployed a new sectorized tower using Mikrotik AP with SR2 radios and we are installing Mikrotik with CM9 for CPE. We have enabled Nstreme and have seen great results up to this point. We only have 4 or 5 clients on each sector. In reading the forums most posts about Nstreme are negatiive. I...

I had a small water tower single AP site that worked fine with a Tranzeo AP. We upgraded the site to 3 sectores running rb532's with SR2 cards. ! of the sectors has the exact proplem oters have reported. After a couple of days of down time and work we decided to put the old Tranzeo AP back up on the...

I posted this the other day in another thread. I think it is a must have feature. We use a lot of Canopy gear that we GPS sync with 3rg party GPS receiver hardware. It comes from a great company called PacketFlux at http://www.packetflux.com/ that costs 139.95. I bet these guys could provide the har...

We use a lot of Canopy gear that we GPS sync with 3rg party GPS receiver hardware. It comes from a great company called PacketFlux at http://www.packetflux.com/ that costs 139.95. I bet these guys could provide the hardware design if Mikrotik can find a way to utilize it.

When we set up a new POP we check the noise floor using a horizontal and vertical antenna to choose which polarity to use. Recently we had to change a small pop from vertical to horizontal due to noise. This pop is located in a hilly wooded area. We were surprised to find even though we now have hig...

TomKolb

Interesting thread, I have recently run into a couple of situations I can fingure out. 1st we recently upgraded a water tower by removing a Tranzeo AP 4500 with a Mt 532 and SR2 card. We are using 64bit WEP, Mac auth, hidden SSID and about 10 to 30 seconds after enabling the wireless interface the l...
