sometimes long ping times

Hi All!

I have big problem.
I use more mikrotik 2.9.6, wrap 2c routerboard with cm9 radio card for links and senao NL2511 cards for users.
The senao card is AP-bridge mode with 30 users.

Sometimes the ping times 10-20ms but sometimes 500-1000ms independently the download and upload rate.

I probe channel change or other settings change but not work good.
whether good idea the upgrade 2.9.40 version?

Thanks your answers.

Steve

ps: sorry my english, i hope your understand me

there had been many updates to drivers and software since that version, i recommend you to upgrade to newer version.

I upgrade the 2.9.40 version but nothing change.

Generate this problem too many tcp connections or network packages?

I’m puzzled.

This is an ongoing topic and is in several other posts. Turn off NStreme and that will fix your problem.

I have seen other topic with the nstreme setting but I have not problem with the atheros card(this is link, good work)

I have the Same problem –
If you run torch you will usually find some users with a lot of connections from bit torrent or something like that.

O yes, I found some user with p2p connections.
I probe setting firewall filters but not work. I’m beginner the mikrotik.
I used linux firewall settings: IPTABLES etc… I

My settings:

chain=forward src-address=10.17.1.2-10.17.1.254 protocol=tcp dst-port=!80 tcp-flags=syn connection-limit=30,32 action=drop

I think so this firewall rule enable 30 connections/user (without onto the 80 port)

Help please!
