But 50 Mbps is nothing for Netmetal , are you sure a firewall or queue is not limiting your traffic ?? if you are sure , check your LOS , reflection , humidity , tower height , …
it’s better to export your wlan configuration here
Try the test in one direction with UDP. Let us know the results.
Also, what is your signal strength readings like?
I personally have not seen more than 100mb udp, one direction on a 11mile (17km) link.
Note that the devices are not made for speed tests. Particularly tcp (heavy overhead). Can you test from a pc on both ends of the link.. Say with iperf?
Hi, signal stenght is about -45 in all chains and stable.
Then with this equipment who´s the max troughput that I can get? I want to link a fiber on one point to a house, the fiber is symetric 300 Mbps… Do you think with this equipment I can get this speed on the other side?
Tomorrow I try with iperf and post here a configuration export.
It depends on many variables !
first of all -45 is too much , may be your AP interfering with itself , decrease your AP power to achieve -50 or -55
second if you need real tcp 300 Mbps , i don’t think it would be possible with a single Netmetal , may you have to use 2 independent links and bonding each other or use OSPF to achieve a real TCP link
But before that you have to fix and tune your current link , try to check reflections,antenna alignment,use one chain,frequencies and … there are many things could cause this problem
Hi, using a mANT30 PA on each side, 2 km link… do you think need to replace RB and antennas? or can I fix it with this equipment?
I think mANT30 PA has only 3 degree beamwidth… now I´m testing with tx power on each side, manual tx power changed to -15dbm and signal keeps on -46 tx/rx
mANT30 PA is perfectly match with Netmetal , so strange !!
try lowering the power,a 30 dbi antenna is too much for a 2 km link specially when used with a high power radio like Netalmetal , here is what you done : -28 is so strong man lower your power until you get -50 … - 55
Hi, I have here new results with lowest power, lowest power that can configure is -30… no low than this and with -30 power transmit the signal still -49…
Here some screen captures, do you think this will be ok? but one of the RX Rate on the AP side change to 6Mbs sometimes…
Tomorrow will make some test more and tell you if still OK.
I just wonder if lowering the power actually only sets the radio power while in TX mode but may not adjust the gain of the radio in receive mode RX, do these radios have any AGC circuit and if so it may have a very limited gain/reduction range
Yeah thank you , i just forgot about Rx , i think we should use a 25 dbi antenna or replace Netmetal with a low power radio , Netmetal with a 30 dbi solid dish is too much for a 2 km link.
lower your power until you get -50 … - 55
