Omnitik and SXT low speed

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

Hello,

Im having troubles with SXT speeds with Omnitik. The distance between two links is only 200M with nothing between them.
I have 3 cameras behind the SXT. Im having some trouble with the PTZ camera. When I tested the speeds from Omnitik
i got ~4Mbps receive and ~80Mbps for send from Omnitik. Same speeds from SXT sent to Omnitik is ~4Mbps and receive ~70Mbps.

Im using Nv2 protocol. Tried 802.11 to. Got the same speeds but speed test connecting took longer and PTZ camera was even slower.
Is the ~4Mbps normal speed for receiving info from SXT to Omnitik? What could be causing this?

Can you post some details about the wireless. What is the signal strength and CCQ?

3

Signal strenght is -63/-62 dBm and CCQ is 73/84%. Tried to realign the antennas but nothing.

4

Can you post /interface wireless export

5

I attatched the wireless export images from the Omnitik and one of the SXT

Do a spectrum scan on the Omnitik and find the best channel with no usage.

/interface wireless spectral-scan wlan1 range=5ghz

7

I did that scan, it didnt find anything.

i have the same problem here, i have 2 sxt connected to a omnitik, distance is 300m and 1km.
Signal is -59 to -65, i’m alone on the 5180 freq. (i got a pair of loco’s on 5500mhz)

This is my second setup with omnitik with no ‘luck’ finding a good and working configuration, and i’m starting to think
that it’s the device that’s defective, or the software. And yes, i have 5.16 installed. And no, quickset does not work at all.

08:28:28 wireless,info 00:0C:42:DC:88:D7@wlan1 established connection on 5180, SSID ap-codor 
08:54:24 wireless,info 00:0C:42:DC:88:D7@wlan1: lost connection, no beacons received 
08:54:27 wireless,info 00:0C:42:DC:88:D7@wlan1 established connection on 5180, SSID ap-codor 
08:55:17 wireless,info 00:0C:42:DC:88:D7@wlan1: lost connection, no beacons received 
08:55:21 wireless,info 00:0C:42:DC:88:D7@wlan1 established connection on 5180, SSID ap-codor

this happents when i try to do some traffic.

Now thats out of the way, try switching the wireless protocol the nstreme and see if that improves the speeds.

Also try another frequency. I think I remember reading that the SXTs preform best around 5400-5600ghz

10

I too just setup an omnitik with sxt using nv2. Very slow speeds over 2km link nothing in the way .

No one else on the same frequency as me

Huge snr of about 40b

Have tried turning power down but no luck

Any other suggestions

Will try replacing the omnitik tomorrow wit an sxt to see if that fixes anything.

11

solved my problem, i had to force NV2 protocol.

12

So what speeds are you getting now ?

Can summarize your settings ?

Channel
Band
Wireless protocol
Mode
Ht chains
Etc etc

Distance between aps

13

sure,

the setup was needed to go around a hill.

2nd client, as the endpoint

hide-ssid=no security-profile=default compression=no

I need only 10mbps, but i got 38mbps duplex, 80mbps udp, 50mbps tcp.

signal is -55/-57 (300/150mbps) for the 300m link
and -62/-60 (117/117mbps) for the 1km link

14

All fixed - spectral scan showed interference - selected a different channel

Now getting 100mb

:slight_smile:

Hi brosky, please can you explain to me ( i have the same installation 1 OmniTIK 2 SXT) what you mean force NV2 protocol where i will find this? and must i do the same to the SXT’s or only on the omniTIK?

(hope you understood, because of my bad english) :slight_smile:

have a nice connection!

thanx in advance!

16

force maybe is a too strong word.

I used before as wireless protocol “any”, then i change it to NV2 to all devices (2 cpe + 1omnitik)

17

Hmm… thanx for the reply!
and i thought it was something else, i have choosen NV2 protocol but at this time very bad connection bzw.(german) very low speed under 200 Kbps.

I will try to update / upgrade my installation (2 SXT & 1 OmniTIK).
I have a Question about it (to everyone). Can i upgrade RouterOS and Firmware of the OmniTIK in the same way like it is shown for the SXT’s in this link???

thanx!

18

Yes

19

many thanx for the Answer!

After upgrade RouterOS and Firmware to 5.17 in the Section (via browser) from the left Menu Tools → Bandwith Test after choosing one of the connected SXT’s and setting user as admin and press the START Button i can’t se anything in the Graph (like before upgrade) but the [Tx/Rx 10s Average] is ~ [7.0 Mbps/4.0Mbps] (and i think this will be OK or am i wrong?) why is nothing shown on the Graph?
