I have one wireless node with configuration like on this picture
What’s your question?
O = Ubiquiti XR-5 and omni antenna 12 dBi 5.4-5725 GHz
A = Wistron Neweb CM9 GP and antenna Pacific wireless GD5W-25
B = Wistron Neweb CM9 GP and antenna Pacific wireless GD5W-25
C = Wistron Neweb CM9 GP and antenna Pacific wireless GD5W-25
I had lot of difficulties with communication on link A and finally I realized it is dusturbed with links B and C. After I turned off radios B and C, everything is fine. Actually, if I just turn on radios B and C without connecting remote points to them, everything is still fine, but if I make connections, link A starts having problems, low CCQ, low bandwidth and so on. What shell I do?
I am suspecing that rays go through antennas B and C because of their grid structure, so I supose dish antennas should help. Can someone with similar experience help with this, please.
What frequencies are you using? Post your wireless config.
Yes, I forgot that, sorry. A is horizontally polarized 5600, B vertically 5180, C vertically 5320, O vertically 5680. I tried many other combinations of frequencies and very strange is that vertically polarized frequencies influence so much on horizontally polarized one. I am actually not sure if this interference is outside on antennas or inside between wireless cards. O is XR5 card sitting alone in PCI-miniPCI adapter and A, B and C are all on Mikrotik 4-way PCI-miniPCI.
O is in ap-bridge mode, all three others in bridge mode. All cards are bridged together and have one IP address, but I supose that doesn’t matter here. If I try to turn bridgde-station the other way round, for example on link A, I even can’t MAC ping each other. This is also strange.
acim -
Take all that stuff out of bridge mode and route everything - that will help you a lot to start with.
With 3 cards on top of each other you are bound to get some interference, move one of the cards to the other RB (the one with the single card in it). That will also help.
