NetMetal AC2 AP dropping approx 50% packets

Thu Jul 22, 2021 4:59 pm

Hi,
I have a site running perfectly since last 6 months, connecting 52 clients to a single netmetal AP. I have started to get complaints from my clients since 1 week now, when I checked, I noticed that the AP is dropping approx 50% packets while pinging any of the clients, and the status that we see as "running ap" at the bottom of wireless tab under wireless configuration, disappears every 5-10 seconds and all the clients are disconnected and connected back again automatically.

It came to my mind that client load could be an issue, so I tried to distribute the CPE load by assigning same SSID (a new SSID) to nearby AP and shift some clients to the second AP. For that, I created a virtual interface on both the APs and assigned same SSID on both AP's virtual interfaces.

While shifting the clients to the virtual interface's SSID, I noticed that the packet drops stabilized, but after 15 minutes, the same thing started to happen again.
I have attached the AP config file for review.
I have been using mikrotik since 2 years, but still consider myself a layman. I need guidance and want to learn the possibilities.

Have you checked your physical connection. Perhaps bad RJ45 termination on either end, or even environmental corrosion?

Check your antenna's make sure screwed on tight.
