I suggest the follow
RB532 Ether. 10.0.0.1/24 - default getway (your modem or server) –
RB532 Wireless 10.0.1.254/24
Client must in the network 10.0.1.X/24 with default gataway 10.0.1.254
Max

Per the diagram, we use the network 10.10.0.0/22 for all of our clients…for management purposes. Is there any way to make use of that network on the client side to add “routing” to the picture instead of WDS? Like I said…for some reason I’m NOT seeing how to make it work… ![]()
I assume that the AP would need to be placed in bridge mode and the CPE in station mode to make this all happen???
if you use bridge you will implement a large network. If you use route you will separate the network between the routers.
in WDS you will use bridge between the WDS links. Client will be in this bridge.
But you can route this network or client could be connected to an Virtual access point or assigned to a VLAN created inside the WDS bridge.

one virtual access point pr client? wouldn’t that reduce performance dramatically?
MT reports that the noise floor and thus SNR measurements are accurate and take into account ALL transmissions at that particular time… Alvarion, Canopy, Orthogon, etc.
Did you ever try testing out other channels? What do ping tests and bandiwdth tests look like at 2AM? What does the registration table and the reg stat look like early in the morning?
I still think your problem is RF related. Based on your registration table, some of the link’s signal strengths, and the ccq readings reported, I’m not sure if switching to routing is going to change anything. I’ve been wrong many times tho so you never know ![]()
Also, I don’t think the wireless sniffer accounts for RF that isn’t 802.11 or some variation (like proprietary wireless, cordless phones, Sat, etc)…can anyone confirm this?
jd6strings,
have you tried to insert a firewall rule that drop invalid connection, accept related and valid? instead of accept all?
I tried this yesterday and at first time it works, but response will be tonight after 24 hours.

No I have not. Good idea. I added a filter for P2P but it filtered 0 packets in an 12 hour period.
What does your filter rule(s) look like?
Thanks!!

Actually we changed channels and I could NOT get the clients to re-associate. I was under the impression that the clients would use the default scan-list to find the AP with the associated SSID if NO country was selected. That did NOT happen. Maybe I’ve misconfigured something??? How long does the re-association process normally take after changing channels? I waited approx 3 minutes and 0 registration… ![]()
from the manual
/ip firewall filter
add chain=forward protocol=tcp connection-state=invalid \
action=drop comment="drop invalid connections"
add chain=forward connection-state=established action=accept \ comment="allow already established connections"
add chain=forward connection-state=related action=accept \
comment="allow related connections"

Also are you using pptp connection between you customers and server?

Thanks for the repy. I actually found it in the manual right after I posted…thanks again. We are NOT using point-to-point tunneling. Why do you ask?
I ask becouse I use VPN for my customers and
I’m tinking to change packet size to not have fragmentation. I use change mms change but on the edge server and not on the AP, it could be a problem.

Try turning off the nstreme on the AP and the clients, We have found this to overload the RB532 too much and cause high pings and all sorts of other troubles in a point to multipoint configuration.
Hope it helps you.

With the 532 as the AP or as the client?
As AP
So there shouldn’t be a horsepower issue with an Athlon AP and a RB500 client?
No, probably not.

I’ll give that a try. Thanks! By the way do you use WDS in your PTMP configuration?
After infinite trials, I have found a different behaviour changing the channels.

What do you mean by this? Do you mean re-association issues?
