Hi,
i'm new at this, and just got my RB411A with a wlm54G23 compex 200mw card, yesterday and working around the clock to try to configure it.
I finally got most of it working.
but i'm having some major stability issues.
first little issue.. is it normal to lose about 15-20 db through one wall? (1 wall layer of gyprock)

2nd more important issue. I seem to be having major issues with 802.11G. when i set it on G.
and do a speed test. the cpu immediately goes to around 100% and the speed test is highly unstable.. it fluctuates between 0.1mbit and 5-6 mbit.
If i change the settings to force 802.11B. its rock solid at 6Mbit.. and i doubt its a signal issue as i put the router on top of the keyboard of my laptop.. so theres about.. 3-4 cm
separating the antenna and the laptop..
i'm on.. 3.19 i believe of the OS that came with the board.

Thanks.

If you can create a remote login to your route (internet ip) I can assist you by logging in and have a look

should i pm you the information?
i can't seem to PM.. says pm is locked.. :S

ok well my current ip is. 65.92.169.212 winbox port is 8291 and ssh port is 8292..
user is user1 and password is test.

enable nstreme

ok done... now i cant even do the bandwidth test anymore.. wont connect anymore from the wifi..

nstreme mus be set on both side

please make the otherside AP and this side station

Is the otherside also a mikrotik?

no the other side is a windows laptop....

... ok i rebooted so now 100mbit ethernet is working more or less proprely..
but. wifi 802.11g is still unstable making the cpu 100% i think..
maybe i should upgrade the version of routerOS? its currently at 3.10

Try mode b&g

i just tried B&G. and its still doing the crazy fluctuation in speed. because it keeps spiking at 100% cpu.
i found that if i limit the available rates 24/36/54 mbits for G.
it fluctuations still but a bit higher sometimes it hits 12-13mbit. for a second before dropping back down to 1mbit or less. but it seems definately related to 100cpu for some reason. or rahter 100cpu maybe a symptom of something else. but who knows.
but using ethernet i can do 100mbits without killing the cpu.. also. i found that when i forced it on B
for 11mbits, it still uses 100% cpu but is stable at 5-6mbits.
why does using wireless seem to push it to 100% cpu with so little bandwidth?

Have you tryed other frequencies?

yep i have cycled through maybe 5-6 of them.. same result.. when i lower the speed, from 54mbit to 36 or 24.. the bandwidth actually increases and the cpu is less pegged at 100%.. i dont understand what could possibly be causing this..
