How to double speed? Nstream, bounding??

RouterOS Wireless Networking

Hi we are cooperating (for free) with our local theater and we want to a link with 4 nodes ( the far is about 14km)

They want to retransmit local play performance to another city, so we need a 40Mbps connection in one direction (perhaps soon we need symmetrical).

We tried to configure Nstreme but we have some problems, we think is for wds links and BGP routing.

Some people tell us that with wds we are losing about 30% of speed in each jump. With wds we haven’t proved double speed. We read in the forums that we could bound two wlan (radios) to get the speed we need.

Could anyone help us, is better to use Nstreme, to bound, or to do a Nsteme with bounding.

We tried to bound two wlan but we couldn’t. Could anyone explain us how to bound two wlan (radios), which configuration is better for bounding( arp requests)??

Thanks a lot, sincerely yours samsitper

use nstreme dual (find it on wiki.mikrotik.com)

make sure you have a non interference environment, otherwise you wouldn’t achieve big throughput.

Thanks for the information. We have configured RB532A with two radios in each one. We add wds and BGP in each radio and it runs but the transfer of packets was done only for one radio in each mikrotik, the second one doesn’t do anything.
We tried to do bounding of wlan1 and wlan2 in each mikrotik, but it doesnt work (we put the ip’s of wds ). The connectivity was lost! Pings doesn’t work but when we scan we see the other ap.
We read in mikrotik manuals that first we have to first the link and then apply Nsteme2.

Has anyone known if its possible to bridge the two radios? It’s possible to send the packets for the two radios in the same direction? (then we plus the two radios speed)

Thanks a lot!
