Who else has stumbled onto this problem of the SR-9 and XR-9 are not compatible?

Well known fact. Any reputable reseller posts this information under XR9/SR9 descriptions.

compatible with what ?

Each other.

oh, this is not related to mikrotik and routeros …

Yeah I guess this is true that it is not related but it helps to know this I use the MT religiously and did not know this problem with the Ubiquity 900MHz cards that are not from RouterOS related or MT related. It was just a cry for help on this sorry. I just needed to know who else has seen this problem.

Thanks for everyone’s response on this.

Yep XR-9 started to work great once I paired them up but I had some SR-9s and I thought hey 900MHz will work well with another 900MHz but they unfortunately did not. Any ways the 900MHz XR-2 did perform even better connection wise when I enabled the NSTREME on both sides. Some how this made the connections more stable not that I care about the pTHROUGHPUT at this point but the actually radio connection seemed to have cleared up once I enabled the NSTREME. I thought this was very interesting and so I wanted to share this back to the MT community.

Thanks

Can you tell which version of ROS are you using with nstreme?

3.30 Not sure if it is actually working as NSTREME but it cleared up my connection when I enabled it. It stabilized the pthroughput and the data rates in a awful area that I was shooting through to the AP from the CPE.

I hope that helps.

Thanks for the info. Seems like 3.30 is a safe bet…I guess I will not be trying 4.x just yet.

I really like 3.30 it seems very stable. No oddities so far.

Did you happen to see an improvement with the XR-9 vs an SR-9? I do not see a difference at the moment but I will be do ing a full on install here in the next week or so. Just curious if anyone has seen a diff or not.

I have not used SR-9 so I have nothing to compare…

Sounds like firmware/driver problem that got “overwritten” when you enabled nstreme. I wonder if on that level - there are enough ckechs to make sure the hardware has all its lower level settings (registers) right…

A piece of thoutht for the developers that handle those.. :wink:
