Monitor CPE with borderline signal

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hi,

Is there someway with say logging on the cpe to register min/max signal strength and TX signal strength levels over a period of time, as this cpe has margin signal strength level 76/81 and tx signal strength 78/84, I have reduced data rates to 9Mbps and ccq is 85-95% but i am anxious to monitor the lowest the signal has dropped with fade effect, at least till i have setup another AP closer to this cpe

Thanks,

I would recommend to use SNMP, /interface wireless registration-table print oid gives you option strength for monitor.
SNMP provides graphs and you can monitor the signal-range of the specific client over long time.

Thanks for reply,

But i am unclear about your advice,

I have SMNP enabled on the cpe, and i use dude to monitor,

/interface wireless registration-table print oid gives you option strength for monitor
this i am unclear, at present i use from winbox, wireless tables,registration and then click on entry - this brings up “AP Client”,

In Ap Client fields - General,802.1x,signal,nstreme,statistics

Sorry could you explain please,

Hi Again,

With the help of Dude http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/MikroTik_Dude - how-to, I was able to setup client signal monitoring, However when i tried to setup on the AP side of my PTP links signal monitoring, errors happened is this due to Nstreme ?
Or there something else, OS = 3.30 used

Nstreme should not be involved to problems with SNMP.
Connect to AP go to /interface wireless registration-table print oid
It should give you some output, where will be few ‘digits’ (OIDs), there should be OID for signal.

OID is added to SNMP monitor program (Dude, Cacti, MRTG) and it will give you graphs for signal strength.
