I’ve got an AP at a trailer park near the river, bunch of trailers on stilts close together.
I have RB433 w/12dBi omni as an AP and RB411AR, RB133C and RBCrossroads as clients, a few people just connect directly to the virtual AP.
One customer is having problems, disconnects for around 30 seconds every 6 minutes or so, log shows disconnects; 6:06, 6:13, 6:20, 6:27, 6:34, 6:41, 6:47, etc…
Signal is near perfect, RB133C w/R52, -67 to -78 (fog gets pretty thick sometimes), CCQ is high 90s, then it just disappears. The neighbors are on with no issues.
Any tips on what to look for that might be running at just over 6 minute intervals?
I was planning on taking a couple of CPE and doing using the spectral graph to see if I can figure out which direction it is coming from.
I’m pretty certain they had this problem with their previous CPE as well.
Just hoping someone might have run into this before. More detail on the logs, it appears that it is 90+% CCQ for 5 minutes, then almost nothing for 1 full minute, then perfect again. Every five minutes something runs for 1 minute and blows out their Internet.
Netgear WNDR3400, similar to another issue where the customer loses access to their own wireless at regular intervals, this one did some kind of a scan/broadcast for 1 minute at 5 minute intervals.
I got the customer to disconnect power from the Netgear router and their CPE’s connection problems, which have been going on for months, completely disappeared.
