802.11n NV2 link disconnects from time to time

Hi,

I have a 802.11n nv2 link on two RB411AH running RouterOS 5.0rc9. The signal level and data rates are high (-50 dB, 243-270 Mbps). When the traffic is high the link disconnects from time to time (after a few minutes when there is 100 Mbps of traffic, after half an hour when the traffic is lower). The logfile says “lost connection, control frame timeout”.

I found on forum that nv2 may cause such problems. But when I switched to nstreme (setting wireless protocol in WinBox) the link didn’t work at all showing strange signal levels (above zero).

I also found a suggestion to set default-authentication=no and add MAC address to connect/access list, but that didn’t help.

Any suggestions?

Best regards,

Piotr

just for test use only chain 0 disable chain 1 see if the problem still persist

first upgrade to RouterOS v5.0rc11 and report back. What is the distance for this link?

I upgraded - still disconnects. I think that it disconnects now more often, every 3 minutes or so even when the traffic is low. The log messages are a little bit different - sometimes it’s “disconnected, control frame timeout” again, and sometimes it’s just “reconnecting”.

I also tried to change TDMA period size from 2 to 3, but the throughput decreased from 100 Mb/s to around 60 Mb/s.

The distance is around 3 km (maybe less). WinBox->Wireless->Interface->Status says 2 km.

P.

did You find an answer for Your problem? i have the same problem…
