r52h problem i think, any help?

hello, i have mount one ap two days ago and for 24 hour it was ok until yestoday midnight signal was to low, i have checked today both sectors have 1 line at laptop signal metter (message:signal strength very low) at distance of 30metter clear line of sight. my config is rb4333 with two r52h, no overpower .default settings antena gain 0 tx default etc,only two clients connected to antena me, and a friend .
yestoday was a clear day no rain no storm etc. i dont know is it a card problem? i have bought this cards one year ago from mt. but i havent used does they have any warranty? i have about 14 pcs and all are r52h . i am afraid for the other cards if they will have same problems , my rb433 are version3.6 should i downgrade them to stable version? i have bought them with this version installed.

Replace it with new card. If signal strength is back - something wrong with that wireless card ( PA, diversity switch ).

thank you. in fact i have exchage it sudenly this morning and everything is ok but i am curious what happend to that card , i have 14 pcs stock and i am afraid for the rest. i have also made misurement to diversity ic versus ground and compared to a new card the values are similar .i dont think is diversity ic prob. i will try to fit to another rb for test. and will post result. do you know where to find parts for repair ex diversity ic pa ic , this are simple to exchange , i have worked with celular repairment and i have all tools to do that, just for creating idea of what is dameged . i think it need calibrate after that :slight_smile:

It seems it’s PA problem SST11LP12 if you are on 5GHz or SST12LP14 if you use 2,4GHz. Something like factory defective IC. If card warranty is only few weeks over I think you can try write rma@mikrotik.com with problem explanation.

i think too, i have tryed with a rb in a short distance i can connect pppoe also but signal is 50% at 3 metter dist, so is PA.
If i use a small tx power that default settings could i controll this card-failure in the future?

I have one that failed at a client location. I set the tx-power to 17 and it worked fine.
Don’t know if it will work in your case, but it’s worth a try when it happens.
