HELP HELP !!! PPPOE server dropping clients

RouterOS General
1

Hi there can any one please help us, we have a PC running 2.9.38 OS PPPOE server talking to a radius server there are 3 wireless cards and 1 ethernet card bridged together to the PPPOE server.

The ppp server just drops users, about 3 diffrent ones each of them are using diffrent hardware and routers and its not the routers all are set to keep alive etc there will only stay up for about6-10 mins befor they get the boot :frowning:

This has only started happening sice last week when we add another wireless card to the bridge.It is dropping diffrent clients on diffrent wireless cards the wireless is not dropping out only the ppp, it will come back up after 20sec.

thanks Brent

It sounds like a wireless problem non-the-less. Are the WLAN interfaces on non-overlapping channels? e.g. 1,6,11 for 802.11b (2.4GHz). What type of cards are they and what are the settings?

Thanks for that 2 of the cards are 5.8Ghz cm9 and sr5 and 1 2.4Ghz senao card.

Thanks for your help but i am not to sure is a wireless problem as it only drops the PPPOE and still wireless still stays up with great signal etc also has great pings over the link like 1ms and after about 6-10 mins bang ppp gets the boot again :frowning:
