Hi all,
I am having a problem.
When trying to connect a couple towers to my currently working 5ghz Sector antenna I get association timeout & authentication timeout errors. However, if I leave the interfaces enabled, they might at times associate for as long as 2-3hrs or 5-10mins, currently I have the interfaces disabled.
the error XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX@wlan1: failed to connect, on 5***, association timeout
the error XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX@wlan1: failed to connect, on 5***, authentication timeout
Situation:
AP Tower- XR5 + 16db H-Pol Sector (Origionally had R52h)
Client Tower 1 - R52h - 23db Panel - 5 Miles (-64db to -69db)
Client Tower 2 - XR5 23db Panel - 13miles (First had r52h) (-72db to -74db)
Client Tower 3 - XR5 28db Grid - 12miles(first had r52h) (-60db to -62db)
Client 1 has not had problems
Client 2 + 3 are having problems
I have tried:
setting static ACK on all towers
switching nstreme on/off
switching cards (on all non working points)
multiple frequencies (from 5500 to 5780)
10 and 20mhz channel sizes
I have not tried:
Switching Cable or Antenna on “AP Tower”
Problem #2 & #3 (possibly related?)
#2 - will sometimes report a signal as much as 10db-20db lower than first stated. It will show this signal for as long as 10-20mins, I will leave it and come back with signal strengths restored to original strengths (happens on both non working towers)
#3 - tower will not connect on 20mhz with no nstreme (on Client 1 - 5mile connection that would normally be fine)
Any feedback would be appreciated
Thanks,
Josh
