Worked alot to get the signals equalize between -65/-62 dBm but failed, LOS is very clear.
The card rates are set to 18 dBm. Using LMR 400 pigtail(1 metr.) tried changing MT also.
when I increase the card rates, the performance drops.
there is not enough throughput.
Bandwidth test shows less than 2 Mbps both ways.
tried changing antenna feeds/pigtails also, no joys.
Worked on all frequencies (5300-5825) but did not work.
Worked with Bridge protocol disabled also.
How can I improve performance
I am not getting the enough bandwidth to run clients.
The client must be in station mode. I thnik this set up is much easier than the other issues that yoy have involving the TP-Link’s, since in this application you Mikrotik in both ends.
There is a perfect example on the wiki that you can use as model for your setup.
Once again Thanks pilgrim for your replies on both the posts.
Well I have been working with MT now for about almost a year . I have also faced a lot of problems in the initial phases but then this kind of scenario is new and I am not able to rectify the cause.
I have read in many posts People attaining 50Mbps + bandwidth over distances of more than 30 Kms. I mean where am I lagging?
I am not even getting close to 4 Mbps levels…Its awful. How can I improve the performance.
Is the configuration I am doing correct or there needs to be some tricks involved.
What bothers me most is the difference in the signal levels on both sides.
I had read in one post that reducing the power output will solve the issue. so i had tried that too but didnt help.
Apart from it when I test bandwidth one ways(receive only) on both MTs, It starts with 17Mbps goes to 20-21 Mbps just for a second or two and then falls back to 4-5Mbps average(lowest levels even goes to some 500-600 Kbps) for some seconds.
While in bandwith test: THE TX/RX CCQ FALLS DRASTICALLY to 15-25% levels from 90-95% levels without Bandwidth test.
Is that a usual phenomenon when u put load on MT?
Need your valuable advice.
