radius and ppoe, slow connection speed

We are testing out a setup with freeradius, and mikrotik (2.9).

I have a user on our wireless network, authenticating with pppoe, but if I set their bandwidth limit above 384k/384k, they don’t get anything near that rate.

Checking the bandwidth between the client and the mikrotik using the bandwidth monitor, I am getting the proper results. When I try to access an external server though, I get a slow connection.

Before pppoe and radius authentication, when the mikrotik was just an AP, I don’t have any bandwidth issues, so I don’t think routing is an issue.

If I need to post any more information, let me know.

How about; client configuration description or export, pppoe client type and settings, pppoe server configuration export, hardware used, packet loss, summary of bandwidth tests.

Just to name a few.

The the rate limit is working and there’s no problem with it. The rate-limit is between the MT and the CPE. If you get your 384k there, then the bottle neck is somewhere else.

Perhaps a congested uplink, or some other queues between your MT and the uplink? If there’s not 384k available between the MT and the ‘external server’, then obviously you won’t get 384k. A chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link…

maybe a channel issue?

wild guessing makes no sense when finding problems, which is why mat should post -any- information. Thus far, all mat has given is a description of the effects of his problem. You might replace any words like Mikrotik with Nintendo and you have come equally far.

kava was right, it was a channel issue
