I got a small wisp setup. I hav got a omni anntena, i hav connected this omni wid a Mikrotik RB532 which is configured as an Acess point and there are 29 coustomers. they all are connected to my omni through a low cost TP LINK Access point in station mode. i hav given ip address to wlan1 as 192.168.209.xx, and 192.168.109.xx to eth1 respectively. i hav aslo given ip adress to my coustomers access point in this series 192.168.147.15 to 192.168.147.44.(all 29 users). everything was going fine…but now there are very heavy latency (sometimes 2000 - 3000) frm few coustmers and there is “request time out” also..due to which the latency of other coustmers also increase..i belive that they got virus in there computers. bec when i delete theier mac address frm my access list..every thing go fine again…can any body tell me if is it possible through any scripting or any advance seetings in Mikrotik..that my MK RB532 repel all such virus back to thier own computers or keep the minium letancy even when such coustomer are still connected to my omni..and avoid disturbing the entire network…remember.. i m using a bandwidth contoller(Inventum) which is generating static local ip address which is filled in clinets computer’s lan card..
thxxxxx..
can u plz suggest me some names or model of better CPE..is is really not possible to repel all such traffic by mikrotik acces point which is connected to the omni…
You need to control the traffic from the customer before it uses your AP’s bandwidth, not afterwards, so the control has to occur at the customer side. A MikroTik would be a good station machine that could also handle the traffic shaping.
well thx mr unikyrn..but i cnat change the coustomers CPE.. i just need a solution on my tower only…could mikrotik can be treated as a hardware firewall…
Are you sure that there is a virus on the computers? or is that just a guess on why there is congestion and high latency? if not i beleive you are beginning to have to many users per AP, that is why many people use sectors, to allow more People to acces one accesspoint… If it is a virus, torch the conection and see what ports it is using to contact the internet or other peoples computers and use Ip>firewall> filter and block those ports… I would assume this would work but possibly block other unwanted things. And if it is a smart virus it will just find another set of ports to use… Good luck. -Jordan
