Hello comrades,
I have been having trouble with a tower of mine disconnecting clients. It will be perfect from weeks on end, then act up twice in one day, or two days in a row - and be fine for a month/week - no discernable pattern except for time of day. It seems to happen only throughout daylight hours; 6am,12noon, 1:30pm, 4pm, 7pm, it is fine 95% of the time.
Location is shared by another WISP that is on 13db H-Pol Whip /w 1watt amp. using Tranzeo
We have V-Pol 17db 120deg Sectors (only one turned on currently) (rb/600 + r52h)
Symptoms:
- lasting for 30mins-1.5hours
- sometimes no customers will stay associated (all will disconnect and reconnect at various times throughout effected period)
- sometimes some customers will stay associated (most will disconnect/reconnect)
- sometimes all customers will stay associated (none will disconnect/reconnect)
- will always cause huge packet loss (60% - 90%)
- unable to ping
- client signals range from -59db to -80db (all are effected)
Attempted Fixes: - will not improve by switching channels (channels 1-12; all will all have poor performance)(other WISP is on channel 4 - 20mhz - 10ft physical seperation)
- if interface is disabled, will be good performance for 5-10 secconds during effected period
- Currently monitoring signal rates/ throughput / uptime - no discernable difference (monitoring with Cacti)
- Tried switching Radios, no change (was fine for two weeks, saw problem twice today)
Thats all I can think of atm, any comments or suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks,
Josh
