Hi all,
I have an mANTBox 19s, with 19 connected SXT 5s, and I see the following, every so often the total throughput drops to zero. Have tried various combinations of HW retries, protection modes, etc. and see changes in throughput, but the drops are still there:
Any explanation for this?
Just curious, how is your whole wireless interface setup?
The current config is:

Have changed to N-only and seeing the same effects. I can improve throughput by adjusting settings, but the complete cut-offs happen no matter what.
What is your Country?
Did you check that the Channel is free?
We have tried all settings, it doesn’t matter if the channel is free or not. We see this on quite clean links. It’d be nice to have a spectrum analysis tool like Ubiquiti has in AirOS 8…
Why are you running 80211n? We have way better performance with NV2 you just have to set the CPE’s to any protocol or NV2. By running NV2 you wont have the random laptops and cell phones trying to connect. Here’s what we do different that you can try.
Channel width set to 20MHz
Protocol NV2
TDMA Period Size 3ms
Max Distance set to the farthest CPE
TX Power Mode = default (You have to be careful when setting it to all rates fixed)
And we have Default Auth turned off and run a access list with the CPE macs.
