We’ve been facing a problem with pretty much every single RB deployed running this particular wireless card. For some reason, out of the blue, it loses connection to the other end. The interesting thing is, it doesn’t lose its physical connection. Even though you can still see the other end(station) registered on the table(AP’s), with the same signal status, there’s no layer 3 anymore. We’re constantly having to manually reboot the AP to bring it back to normal.
I just enabled wireless logging on them(lame right) so the next time we have it happening again, I’ll be able to collect some more data. I just thought, since this is happening so often, someone else might have had the same problem and know of a way to fix it.
Here is a quick shot with the basic config of the wireless interface:
1 - I’ll test it on AP Bridge(it works fine this way on other RBs).
2 - I just blanked it on purpose. =P
3 - No country set so every frequency is available. Useful for scans and such, we still respect the local regulations.
4 - That it the actual gain on the antenna used.
5 - Nstream is enabled.
When I scanned with “no country set” it did not pick all the sector AP’s but when I selected my country it did ?
With antenna gain I select 0 and with country set, local regulations ???
I have not used both NV2 + Nstream and would only use Nstream in 802.11 the wiki says Nv2 vs Nstream, I use
either NV2 or 802.11 or Nstream on a AP but never combined and on client, station side I use NV2+Nstream+802.11 and never “Any” protocol http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Nv2
but I could not understand why MT put so many combination in Wireless Protocol
“nv2+nstreme+802.11” basically is same as using “any”
and unspecified=802.11
