I have been noticing that during the daytime hours the latency in our wireless network increases.
Normal ping times to yahoo.com range from 30-60ms, however during the times of increased latency
the pings can easily see 300+ms.
During the times of high latency I can ping yahoo.com from the NOC and ping times are normal 30-60ms.
The first radio at the NOC is not affected by the latency issue, only AP’s and CPE’s out beyond that point.
Our wireless network is as follows:
P2P Links 5Ghz-20Mhz WDS (links towers to one-another)
P2MP 5Ghz-20Mhz WDS (serves LoS clients)
P2MP 900Mhz-5Mhz WDS (serves NLoS clients)
Tower 1 utilizes a RB/600 with 3 AR5’s and one XR9 MINIPCI
Tower 2 utilize a RB/333 with 2 AR5’s and one XR9 MINIPCI
Can someone provide some possible scenarios of troubleshooting that I might try?
Hmm, hearing your response wouldn’t trouble me so bad if this system were loaded with a couple hundred clients.
But we have just started selling connections on this system in the last month and only have 13 clients connected to date.
I mean what would I have to expect once we attained a couple hundred clients; pings of 1200+ ms?
Any other suggestions?
Our noise floor is -95dBm or better all day long our average client signal is -76 or better for 900 & 5Ghz.
So even though I have an AIRLok appliance on the back-side which is configured to manage QoS I should also be applying queues on the client side of each account then also?
keep in mind that just because the reported noise floor indicates relatively low noise, does it mean that it is true. The only true way to measure would be to use a spectum analyzer.
During the day other links from other providers are more active during the day.
