I have a back haul setup between two places, about 19Km apart. I am using the MikroTik QRT5 units on either end, RB911G-5HPnD. My signal strength is -60 on both ends and CCQ values are 95 - 100% and my ping times are on average 3ms. My problem is I am getting about 10% packet loss on this link. On the receiving side it shows up as the Internet just hangs for a few seconds, pauses if you will, then takes right off. From the AP side using the QRT’s ping tool I am getting about 10% packet loss. When I lose packets it is always 6 pings long, sometimes just an occasional signal packet, it’s these long losses that the other end sees. I have changed frequencies, channel widths, wireless protocols, wireless modes ( A and N modes), TDMA Period Size when using NV2 and Adaptive Noise Immunity serrings. My noise floor is -114 dBm. Nothing I do seems to fix the problem. Does anyone else have an idea I can try as I’m sure I haven’t thought of it all? Has anyone else encountered this behavior? I can provide support files and config’s if needed.
Have you seen if there’s any desconection message in the log?
Could you show us your config?
I think you should use bigger antenna for that link…
Regards
There are no disconnect messages in the log. Below is my current config.

Why do you use WDS? From a few years ago, is not neccesary to get a transparent link.
Try to switch it to bridge > station bridge

jayk, have you had any progress with this? Has any recent ROS udpates helped at all? I am using a lot of NV2 links(farther distance) and trying to figure out similar issues. I am using different antennas and radios, but I am more curious on NV2 function. I am kind of amazed you are getting that good of connection, at that distance, using that type of antenna.
