WiFi Signal Goes OFF and ON..

Hello Forum..

I’ve been facing similar issue with previous Home WiFi with different brands (TP-Link and UBNT Pico-Station) and I decided to go with the MikroTik Groove. It is only a few months after installing Groove, a similar issue started to happen again. Simply :Wireless Signal Goes OFF and back ON after a few minutes (Sometimes after 15 minutes). All clients are disconnected and WiFi Analyzer (installed on an android phone) sees it as its powered OFF! The up time indicates that the router it self remains functional while its signal is off. Here is the Configuration of the wireless interface:

[admin@Groove! MikroTik] /interface wireless> print 
Flags: X - disabled, R - running 
 0  R name="wlan1" mtu=1500 mac-address=D4:CA:6D:0F:2D:47 
      arp=enabled interface-type=Atheros AR9300 mode=ap-bridge 
      ssid="Al-Eessa's Groove!" frequency=2417 band=2ghz-b/g/n 
      channel-width=20/40mhz-ht-above scan-list=default

      default-forwarding=yes default-ap-tx-limit=0 
      default-client-tx-limit=0 hide-ssid=no 
      security-profile=default compression=no

I’ve enabled the debugging on the Wireless Interface on the router and here is the results (Sorry for Pasting a big log File:

Is there an microwave owen?

ammar83 · March 28, 2015, 7:25pm

Hi InoX,

Nope, there is no Microwave Oven Nearby.. Wireless Debug is also included withing the post..

Thanks..
Ammar

ammar83 · March 29, 2015, 5:58pm

Hello Forum,

Any thing I can follow to troubleshoot the issue I am facing? Please help..

Thanks in advance..
Ammar.

ammar83 · April 1, 2015, 9:48am

Hello Forum..

Am I describing the issue correctly? Is there any vagueness somewhere, in the subject may be? Should I explain it in more details? Does anyone suggest posting it at a different section in the forum?

Please help,
Thanks..

InoX · April 1, 2015, 4:35pm

Your problem is not quite related to mikrotik.
You said it hapened with any/other routers you tried.
So I would check in the house for some kind of interference.

ammar83 · April 2, 2015, 6:02am

Yes, I said that. and I have suspected that since the problem started with the Groove. But some of the other routers/access points I faced a similar problem with were in the office.. which is around 20 KM away from my house.. I have several of my friends had faced similar issues but with low level brands, overcame by replacing the router itself!!

On the other hand, I’ve tried installing it in different spots in the house.. but the issue is still happening… so I don’t think that it is an interference in the house that causes the issue..

I gave it another shot last night and upgraded the MikroTik to the latest version (I know, it was not a wise move to have at the mean time). I was still living with v5.25. I made the upgrade last night and since then didn’t notice any flap. I will keep monitoring for several more days..

Thanks,
Ammar.

jarda · April 2, 2015, 6:42am

I would run a spectral scan to see what changes around. And then use directional measurement to find the source of interference.

ammar83 · April 4, 2015, 5:47am

Hello Forum,

Believe it or not, upgrading MikroTik to the latest version did a super magic thing, the issue didn’t happen since the upgrade finished!!

jarda · April 4, 2015, 10:44am

Lucky you.

lectrapon · May 5, 2015, 7:33am

Hello Ammar83

I’m facing the same issue (indoor and outdoor) with Metal 2SHPn.
Can you tell me how did you upgrade your Mikrotik (NetInstall, Winbox…give me your process, please) ?

ammar83 · May 6, 2015, 6:00am

Hi,

You can follow the instructions in the upgrade manual from MiktoTik:
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Upgrading_RouterOS

Ammar

lectrapon · May 8, 2015, 4:17pm

hello ammar83,
I have tried the instructions in the upgrade manual from MiktoTik.
but unfortunately nothing better!
Wifi signal goes on during 2 minutes in average and then goes down.
When I try to connect my device it shows “connection…” and after “not connected! authentication error”.
And during this process i noticed that signal fall to level 1 (weak signal).
I can connect only in line of sight but during 8 minutes only .

pukkita · May 8, 2015, 4:53pm

Check if the issue persists with another antenna, also inspect both N connectors.

That could happen if the antenna doesn’t have a secure connection.

Also do what jarda pointed, do an spectral scan with interference=yes and a spectral-history and post them here…

pacoss · May 10, 2015, 10:02am

I had the same issue 2 times.

Change the POE.

Regards.

lectrapon · May 10, 2015, 10:46am

Hello pukkita,
I will try your instruction and post the result…but below are result of this spectral command that Mikrotik support had asked me to do : /in wireless spectral-history wlan1

lectrapon · May 10, 2015, 10:51am

Hello pacoss,

I must wait tomorrow to buy another PoE and I will make you feedback…because today is holyday.

…thanks for your help!

pukkita · May 10, 2015, 10:52am

Something should be wrong, can’t believe nothing appears in an spectral-history, you seem to have a “deaf” radio. There aren’t any 2.4GHz signals in there?

Please enable Wireless debug (System > logging, add another rule with topic wireless action memory).

Reboot and post the log…

Do you have another antenna, just for testing?

Did you generate a supout.rif?

BTW don’t set preamble-mode=long or Apple devices won’t connect, leave it at “both”.

pukkita · May 10, 2015, 10:57am

Also, can you check in System > routerboard the firmware version?

Have you ever powered the Groove with no antenna attached??

pacoss · May 10, 2015, 10:59am

Only a hint about your config:

“adaptive-noise-immunity=ap-and-client-mode”

has no sense if the network is not 100% atheros chipset and it’s enabled in everyone. That never will happens in 2.4 for clients.
