Hello there,
hows going guys?
So, I’m having very terrible troubles with my small wireless setup. I can’t get proper speed on the end of the network (on R8). See picture bellow:
This is a simple OSPF network which using VPLS tunnels, over MPLS, to deliver PPPoE service to the customer. Routing works alright, MPLS works alright, but bandwidth test has a strange behavior.
I’ve done some testing between MikroTiks, all on the TCP stream:
R1 send to R8 ~ 5Mbps
R1 send to R6 ~ 9Mbps
R1 send to R4 ~ 30Mbps
R4 send to R8 ~ 7Mbps
R4 send to R6 ~ 55Mbps
R6 send to R8 ~ 30Mbps
As you can see all links in the backbone have a 30M (one-way) connection at least. When I connect client through R8, dial up pppoe connection and try speedtest.net I get just 6M/6M (like on a bandwidth test result R1 to R8). I know that all my wifi links are not so “flash” (see attachment bellow), but I reckon I should get way more than bloody 6megs even with this setting.
Links:
Additional info:
All links are running on 802.11, nv2 had a same behavior.
I wouldn’t blame the MPLS, but just to be sure:
- all interfaces have L2MTU 1598 at least
- MPLS interface MTU is in default 1508
- I tried get the rid of the MPLS and use old-good eoip, but result on the client was same
For communication between OmniTIKs and “HGs” (R4 ↔ R5 and R6 ↔ R7) I set up a virtualAP interface and running ospf via this one
R3 & R5 are connected and powered from the OmniTIKs (R4 & R6) via eth02. - I must to set in OmniTIK /interface ethernet poe settings ether1-poe-in-long-cable=yes, otherwise did not power up the plugged device (cable to eth01 ~ 15m)
I had a problem between R5 & R6, auto negotion indicated 10M connection so I disabled it and flicked manually to 100M. Apparently it works fine as you can see on the bandwidth test R4 to R6.
I know that I should change ospf interface to non-broadcast one, because of Wi-Fi and multicast, but I don’t think so that the problem of slow connection is there.

Thank you for your time and effort.
