Guru needed for paid remote support

Hi forum gurus, (Pukkita) this is aimed at you or any other certified guru here.

This is only my 3rd post, and my first 2 over the last year were related to a network I am having some problems with. The first network worked fine eventually, this one is a clone of it with very minor differences. The radios in the first one were RBMetal and this one is Groove …

I would like someone to remote into my network and make some suggestions/criticisms to help me make it more reliable. Currently the system works well, but somehow I am losing the connection between my computer and my industrial controllers. The radio network stays up and I’m logging errors, info, warnings to disk. So I think my physical network is OK, but I may have configured my settings somehow that I have created periodic broadcast storms. All of my comms to the industrial devices is UDP.

(I have a packet analyzer on my computer as well, so we can see what the messages are.)

I can supply any data, configs etc.. But I think I need someone knowledgeable to evaluate what I have done by directly going online. I can give you remote command of my PC and you can hop on winbox or whatever your favourite method..

I will happily pay your fees.

Please PM me with contact details so I can reach out to you.

The project is in Japan, I am there now. I have reached out to my local Microtik integrator/supplier but haven’t heard back yet. I’d like to get something going in the next 24 hours please.

I’m here for a few more days yet. My apologies if I posted this in the wrong place.

Thanks!

Paul

Many thanks.

subscribing…

if you could provide some more detail ot would be great

I’m also around. efaden@gmail

Shoot me an email and we can discuss.

Here’s some exports, might as well flesh this thread out a bit. Thanks to all of you who have contacted me.

And my awesome network diagram

Other things worth mentioning:
-gateway shown for the AP does not exist in the network
-“forward all” is disabled on AP
-the 12 clients are very close to one another (1.5 meters), so multipath could be an issue?
-the AP is powering a 75 meter length of leaky feeder 50ohm as its antenna.
-signal floor is -118db
-typical signal strength around 60-65dbm
-Signal to noise is only in the 50-55dbm
-radio links maintained all day, but seemingly UDP packet loss at times for more than 2 seconds.

I did receive some capable assistance thanks to this forum :slight_smile:

Things improved massively once I stopped using nv2!!
