We have made a potentially significant improvement for wireless Nv2 PtMP configurations in the latest 6.42rc46 version release.
Upgrade of the AP is required to the new rc version, clients can still use the old version.
Edit 18.04.17,
now changes are merged to MikroTik RouterOS 6.42 version. We strongly suggest to use the latest current RouterOS version.
This is a message we are waiting for years now. Many thanks !!! Is this specific to hardware or is this a general improvement of the protocol handling at the AP ?
In the pictures below you can see the differences without and with the Nv2 improvements. TX and RX tests are done separately. TX is total/combined download speed from the AP to the clients.
This is a welcome improvement but: NV2 has been neglected for very long and needs A LOT of care from the MkTik devs. This version shows that it can be done, it can be improved. Interference mitigation (NV2 is VERY sensitive to noise even with one client) and better compatibility with 802.11ac should be the next goals.
Hello. Thanks for info and very thanks for improvement!
Can you plese make this test in 20Mhz channel?
