RTS-CTS incompatibilities with UBNT

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

Hi,

I have a RB133C Accesspoint running RouterOS 3.28.

I have two clients; one RB133 with same OS version and one Ubiquity NanoStation2 (AirOS 3.4). The RTS-CTS protocol is required as both clients have no visibility of others.

I had erratic behavior (very slow response times, disconnections, etc..) if RTS-CTS is activated in all systems.

Can anybody give advise of which OS versions of both Mikrotik/Ubiquity are known work without issues.

Thanks,
Antonio

Make sure you are activating RTS on the client side only, not on the AP side. And geeze, get a decent AP or drop back to 2.9.51

Hi,

it seems now working. The issue was related to the “Default forward” being ticked in the Mikrotik AP. Now I have disabled the “Default forward” and changed the network topology in order to the AP route packets between stations and it is working; no more disconnections and erratic performance on NS5 with RTS/CTS.

Regards,
Antonio

I dont understand how default-forward is related with RTS/CTS ?

But in fact, now RTS-CTS is working… I think there are too many parameters and combinations and for some combination there may be issues… ¿?¿?¿?¿?¿
