Hello guys
I updated my RB411 with the new beta firmwaree 5rc11 just that I continued disconnection of radio is, I see that you disconnect every 5 minutes and then reconnects, you think will be a firmware problem? or is it a configuration problem?
I state that with this version 5rc10 what did not.
P.S. someone know where you can download older releases of firmware as 5rc9 5rc8
please contact support@mikrotik.com to get the test release of RouterOS v5.0rc12.
you think it might be a firmware problem?
it might help as we have updated the wireless driver.
I was on the same issue ass you with Ros4.17, for stop connecting and disconnecting you have to add the wireless MAC ADDRESS on the connect list of the AP, and that’s it.
I don’t found anything on the change log that point to this new requirement on versions from 4.17 and beyond
I did not understand Can you explain?
I still have serious problems with the radio link, I can not tell if it is
a configuration problem or a firmware problem.
What happens is that the link is very unstable going down there often for no reason
I enclose some of my configuration screnshot maybe give me a Potet
hand.
The configuration is as follows:
SITE A:
RB 800 Firmware 5rc11
Frequency 5600Ghz
Wireless protocol NV2
Wireless Bridge Mode
5GHz N-only
Default datarate
Distance 35Km
SITE B:
RB 411AH Firmware 5rc11
Frequency 5600Ghz
Wireless protocol NV2
Wireless Mode Station
5GHz N-only
Default datarate
Distance 35Km
I do not understand why it disconnects continuously
This makes no sense. On the AP the station should be listed with its mac address in the access list.
The connect list is to tell where a station is allowed to connect TO. Thus in case of the AP it has no meaning.
If you mend that the mac should be mentioned in the accesslist, than you are right. But than it doesn’t solve the disconnect issues. All my stations are in the access lists, no matter if it is on an AP with many stations or an backhaul AP with only one station.
All these still suffer from disconnects. (4.16/4.17/rc11)
I am just waiting for someone to tell me rc12 is safe before I deploy it.
What data rates have you selected?
Looking at the signal strenghts of some chain they are on the edge (around -71 - -74 data rate jump to lower levels).
This means that the AP continiously is jumping between some data rates. This not only degrades the CCQ seriously, it can also cause disconnects of the client.
Try to find data rates which give better signal then -73 and try to go for this data rate only. Disable all others (also the ones of the ´old´802.11a levels) and set the basic rate the same.
Now see if your link becomes stable. If not, lower the data rate one step. (This can be tricky with the ´n´ rates. Look in the table what each rate actually stands for and make the decision which ones are next level down)
You’d better have a stable link with near 100% CCQ then a higher data rate link with poor performance.
