See that 5.9 is up for public download. Can someone in support provide more detailed information on the improvements to wireless made in this release. The draft improvements tech note had some vague objectives and the change log really says nothing.
Will this improve 802.11n performance at all? Particularly as AP? We have seen MT not perform well at all as a standard AP or client bridge to a standard N router.
Will the performance under NV2 be more predictable? This is particularly important in PTMP applications.
Any guidance on optimal settings for general PTMP configuration for either NV2 or 802.11n networks using RB52H, SR71a, and other common modules?
On a second semi-related topic, are there any changes to support IPv6 for LTE on PPP connections and firmware loader for common modems such as Pantech UML290, Novatel USB551L, etc. We really need to be able to use these modems with ROS without having to manually configure them in a Windows PC to force them into 3G mode, completely defeating their 4G capabilities. The other card we would like to support is the Sierra Wireless MC7751 Gobi 3000 based miniPCIe on the RB411. It would be a killer capability as it supports virtually all technologies (except wimax) in one module.
So you put MT as client-bridge to non-MT and expected it to be transparent L2 bridge? No. Do not expect that please.
But I expect a good proper 5.9 changelog
edit: 5.9 changelog is up just moments after these posts.
I wonder if MT even have those modems themselves. Maybe you could negotiate with support to send some modems so eventually they implement support for them.
We are bidding a project where the customer has pre-existing Cisco Aironet 1250 APs. We use station psuedobridge or WDS (if the APs have controllers behind them). When we use RB52n as an adapter in a PC we get 90-100Mbps TCP. When we use ROS client bridge we get 12Mbps. Links all show 300/300 with 2x2 MIMO using 2 chains and various AMPDU. Same configuration to a ROS AP running 802.11n gets similar results. Same configuration to a ROS AP with Nstreme gives 100-110Mbps. We have tried every possible configuration adjustment, with no success. When we use openwrt on an Alix board with RB52n we get 90-100Mbps. So there is definitely something not so good with ROS using 802.11.
I have the same problems. We had done a skin in 5.8 but that stopped working in 5.9 and onwards.. Running 5.11 now. It’s possible to go to design skin and choose the old skin and use that and it works but setting it in a group doesn’t work. The skin is NOT used. Works in 5.8.
the same problem for me, I also tried to delete the skin folder and now if I create a new Skin folder file. json will be created but I can’t see the skins in the “design skin”
