Hello people!!!
I have seen in a Mikrotik document (that I cannot find now), that the ammount of devices connected to an AP could be more than 50 (If my memory is working fine, which probably isnt)
I have a RB951Ui-2HnD, which has about 16-18 devices connected throuhg Wireless, I had changed the frequency and the security profile setting in many ways with no luck
Download speed is up to 6 Mbps, sometimes less, even being with better than -40 dBm of "Tx/Rx Signal"
Signal noise is not so bad
With cable, download speed is about 100 Mbps
I dont have any queue limiting the bandwith
Here my questions:
1) Is it normal that with 18 devices connected concurrently the download speed does not be more than 6 Mbps?
2) Is there a way to calculate the bandwith that a wireless conected device will have?
3) Is it possible that this amount of devices causes disconnections or a lot of packet lost?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Damián
Re: WiFi limitations
Some questions, many possible answers ... I don't know what detail you are looking for.
1. PHY rate.
You already looked at the TX/RX signal strength , but more information is in the TX rate, RX rate and CCQ (found under "registration" per connected device)
That TX rate is your current (dynamically changing) PHY rate. The bruto transmission is "TX rate" * "CCQ%"
I expect you to see for TX rate in the best cases 72.2Mbps-20MHz/1S/SGI (single stream client) or 144.4Mbps-20MHz/2S/SGI (dual stream device)
2 Netto data rate
This PHY is half-duplex, and has quite some overhead (25% till 60%). So you can get 40% till 75% of that PHY as throughput in one direction.
(Overhead is dependent on number of SSID's around, number of clients, PHY rate (higher PHY rates have more % overhead)
3. Airtime
The time to transmit is shared by all devices in the same channel or overlapping channels.
Every device around has the same rights to transmit. You already have 18 clients and one AP. But there is probably (much) more.
The chance to transmit is statistically divided over all devices (AP, clients, other devices), however a device with a low PHY rate will take more airtime when transmitting.
Silent clients are not using airtime. But a slow (weak signal) device will slow everyone down as it takes a very big share of the available airtime.
Is 6Mbps normal, with 18 clients? It certainly can be that low.
3 active, at 72,2Mbps PHY, 100%CCQ, 50% overhead ..... each has 12Mbps unidirectional, 6 Mbps bi-directional.
3 active, 2 at 144,4Mbps PHY, one at 6 Mbps PHY, 100% and 50%CCQ, 50% overhead .... the fast ones have an average rate of 3Mbps unidirectional , the slow one is at 1.5Mbps unidirectional.
18 active, at 144,4Mbps PHY, 100%CCQ, 50% overhead (ideal situation) ... each has 4 Mbps unidirectional.
To compare with the ethernet cable: PHY=100Mbps, CCQ=100%, overhead=5%, bidirectional. (and no slow PHY devices)

Re: WiFi limitations
Hello,
Thank you so much for all the explanatons.
I never paid attention to "Tx rate" and "Rx rate" because I dont know what means: "1S", "2S" and "SGI", also every item has a rate in Mbps and some items has a "20 MHz" after this, other items has only the rate in Mbps. This is no easy to understand for me.
I usually see that CCQ% depends on the signal strength, with good signal strength good CCQ and bad signal strengths goes to bad CCQ, so I dont know how can this value help me
I would like to upload a screenshot of the "Registration" tab to you give me some recommendation
Is this possible? Can you please tell me where can I upload the image?
Thanks a lot.

Re: WiFi limitations
Normally you can add attachments, and then "Place inline".
But some users did not get this possibility. Don't know why.
The same text information is in the terminal with: "/ interface wireless registration print stats"
1S is single spatial stream, is single transmission and receive chain used, is one path for the data. Also written as 1x1
2S is dual spatial stream, is two transmission and receive chains are used, there are 2 paths for the data (this doubles the throughput). Also written as 2x2
MT AP's sometimes have triple stream. But clients seldom have this. For 2x2 both AP and client device need to have 2 chains/antenna.
SGI : short guard interval (0.4µs)
---: long guard interval (0.8µs)
20MHz: is the 20 MHz bandwidth of the channel used
The CCQ is the % of useful transfers of data. The other are considered lost. (there was no ACK to acknowledge good reception)
Losing transmissions will lower the encoding (MCS), and will lower the PHY rate. Good transmissions will make the MCS increase.
For 802.11n (HT) MCS goes from 0 tot 7 for 1S. 2S then is expressed as HT MCS 8 till 15. (so HT MCS8 is 2xMCS0, HT MCS9 is 2xMCS1 ....)
MT does not show the MCS value, but the PHY rates are unique, so you can look it up.
(VHT is only for 802.11ac, HE is for 802.11ax)

Re: WiFi limitations
Thanks again
There are less devices connected now
I dont have any option to attach files
I had tested some options in "/interface wireless registration-table print" but I didnt see the "stats" parameter.
Here are the results:

Re: WiFi limitations
Let me filter this to the directly speed related values, and tell what I see on this output. (Other information like distance, type of device, etc will help you further to interpret those results.)
[e.g.: Smartphones have a weak TX power , and usually have only one chain (1S) ]
# jan/14/2021 9:12:43 by RouterOS 6.41.2
---> quite old RouterOS version. But stick with LT distribution, now it is at 6.46.8.
---> most are 1S devices. Some are 2S and use this good
---> if the number of frames is low (<5000), then the speed is not stable yet.
---> the performance of the 144Mbps/2S/SGI devices is KILLED by some very slow devices (like nr 1 and nr 4) . They take 50 times more airtime for the same transmission as the faster ones.
---> p-throughput is the data speed in Kbps you can achieve if that device is the only one active.
---> frames/hw frames transmitted ratio, learns how many of the transmissions succeeded. There are quite some retransmits. I do suspect interference with other devices or channels.
---> "tx-rate-set="CCK:1-11 OFDM:6-54 BW:1x SGI:1x HT:0-7" " is the setting of the interface. You have 802.11b enabled! (CCK 1-11) , allowing extremely slow devices (1 Mbps), and broadcasting beacons at 1 Mbps basic rate, creating loss of airtime. Remove the "b" mode, and go for "g/n" or "n-only", not "b/g/n". Unless you absolutely need "b" for a very old device. Nr 1 and nr 4 will not be able to connect, because they are too far away for the minimum 6 Mbps (used in g and n as basic rate), but at least they will not be able to slow everything down as much. The throughput for a slow and fast device together is not the average of their throughput ! Slow speed x , and fast speed y, then this will give speed "=(x*y) / (x+y)" each. (and Yes, this is slower than x !)
check formula for speed? https://www.hitbullseye.com/Quant/Time- ... stance.php

Thanks a lot!!!
I just went to the place for first time and came back to my home.
There are 4 APs in different places, ussing channels 1, 6 and 11. Each AP has a different SSID
I changed to use only N and will see, I could not determine if the issue is solved because there were few people there, I want to see the behavior with more devices connected.
Something that I could see is that one of those APs was failing, no one could connect to it, so there were devices with poor signal connected to the incorrect AP, I just reboot the AP and started to work.
I also want to limit signal strenght, to avoid, for example, devices connecting with less than -70 dBm. I know how to accomplish this, I just need to speak to my boss.

Re: WiFi limitations
Well, today someone told me that WiFi was working awful again.
So, I find out further, and again the same AP than before, stoped working.
When users was trying to connect to this, they got: "No es posible conectarse a esta red", thing this is something like "Could not connect to this network", without any detail.
I couldnt see anything wrong in the AP, but I updated RouterOS and Firmware to the latest version... will see.
After this, the issue seemed to persist, then I limited the signal strength up to -70 dBm and everything seems to be fine now, even speed test is giving me more bandwith than before
Related to the AP which stoped working, I dont want to create a new post because maybe with the update, it stop failing, but, if not:
Do you suggest anything to test in the AP to see why users cannot connect to this?
Thanks a lot!!!

Check the log in the AP.
You must enable the wireless log to see more:

The throughput for a slow and fast device together is not the average of their throughput ! Slow speed x , and fast speed y, then this will give speed "=(x*y) / (x+y)" each. (and Yes, this is slower than x !)
check formula for speed? https://www.hitbullseye.com/Quant/Time- ... stance.phpCode: Select all# jan/14/2021 9:12:43 by RouterOS 6.41.2 0 interface=wlan1 mac-address=70:2E:D9:4A:36:CB rx-rate="65Mbps-20MHz/1S" tx-rate="65Mbps-20MHz/1S/SGI" frames=22177,223331 hw-frames=61805,348594 signal-strength=-64dBm@HT20-7 signal-to-noise=37dB tx-ccq=75% p-throughput=55944 tx-rate-set="CCK:1-11 OFDM:6-54 BW:1x SGI:1x HT:0-7" 1 interface=wlan1 mac-address=C8:C7:50:09:5C:36 rx-rate="1Mbps" tx-rate="13Mbps-20MHz/1S" frames=103053,21199 hw-frames=181360,29283 signal-strength=-90dBm@1Mbps signal-to-noise=11dB tx-ccq=32% p-throughput=2386 tx-rate-set="CCK:1-11 OFDM:6-54 BW:1x SGI:1x HT:0-7" 2 interface=wlan1 mac-address=20:32:6C:FB:3F:AA rx-rate="72.2Mbps-20MHz/1S/SGI" tx-rate="57.7Mbps-20MHz/1S/SGI" frames=245242,111757 hw-frames=409369,131631 signal-strength=-70dBm@1Mbps signal-to-noise=31dB tx-ccq=77% p-throughput=34263 tx-rate-set="CCK:1-11 OFDM:6-54 BW:1x SGI:1x HT:0-7" 3 interface=wlan1 mac-address=BC:FF:EB:20:3E:61 rx-rate="26Mbps-20MHz/1S" tx-rate="58.5Mbps-20MHz/1S" frames=147816,98378 hw-frames=261027,132779 signal-strength=-76dBm@1Mbps signal-to-noise=25dB tx-ccq=66% p-throughput=35095 tx-rate-set="CCK:1-11 OFDM:6-54 BW:1x SGI:1x HT:0-7" 4 interface=wlan1 mac-address=80:35:C1:41:82:8E rx-rate="2Mbps" tx-rate="13Mbps-20MHz/1S" frames=18708,14765 hw-frames=49398,20728 signal-strength=-90dBm@1Mbps signal-to-noise=11dB tx-ccq=35% p-throughput=5081 tx-rate-set="CCK:1-11 OFDM:6-54 BW:1x SGI:1x HT:0-7" 5 interface=wlan1 mac-address=24:18:1D:27:D1:A0 rx-rate="1Mbps" tx-rate="130Mbps-20MHz/2S/SGI" frames=4295,4782 hw-frames=5195,6953 signal-to-noise=45dB signal-strength-ch0=-58dBm tx-ccq=94% p-throughput=121375 tx-rate-set="CCK:1-11 OFDM:6-54 BW:1x SGI:1x HT:0-15" 6 interface=wlan1 mac-address=14:96:E5:4F:4F:69 rx-rate="1Mbps" tx-rate="58.5Mbps-20MHz/1S" frames=901,675 hw-frames=4397,1448 signal-strength=-72dBm@1Mbps signal-to-noise=29dB tx-ccq=83% p-throughput=50993 tx-rate-set="CCK:1-11 OFDM:6-54 BW:1x SGI:1x HT:0-7" 7 interface=wlan1 mac-address=E4:5E:37:4F:99:35 rx-rate="72.2Mbps-20MHz/1S/SGI" tx-rate="52Mbps-20MHz/1S" frames=31924,35172 hw-frames=64210,45645 signal-strength=-63dBm@6Mbps signal-to-noise=38dB tx-ccq=66% p-throughput=37607 tx-rate-set="CCK:1-11 OFDM:6-54 BW:1x SGI:1x HT:0-15" 8 interface=wlan1 mac-address=A6:CD:6C:69:39:E3 rx-rate="104Mbps-20MHz/2S" tx-rate="130Mbps-20MHz/2S/SGI" frames=16213,11686 hw-frames=25706,15104 signal-strength=-51dBm@1Mbps signal-to-noise=50dB tx-ccq=96% p-throughput=114881 tx-rate-set="CCK:1-11 OFDM:6-54 BW:1x SGI:1x HT:0-15" 9 interface=wlan1 mac-address=2C:33:7A:F5:62:93 rx-rate="144.4Mbps-20MHz/2S/SGI" tx-rate="144.4Mbps-20MHz/2S/SGI" frames=35711,32780 hw-frames=51354,37498 signal-strength=-56dBm@1Mbps signal-to-noise=45dB tx-ccq=85% p-throughput=115213 tx-rate-set="CCK:1-11 OFDM:6-54 BW:1x SGI:1x HT:0-15" 10 interface=wlan1 mac-address=34:2E:B7:BB:58:87 rx-rate="78Mbps-20MHz/2S" tx-rate="144.4Mbps-20MHz/2S/SGI" frames=31145,18386 hw-frames=48913,19612 signal-strength=-51dBm@1Mbps signal-to-noise=50dB tx-ccq=58% p-throughput=48636 tx-rate-set="CCK:1-11 OFDM:6-54 BW:1x SGI:1x HT:0-15" 11 interface=wlan1 mac-address=C0:8C:71:64:8B:8B rx-rate="39Mbps-20MHz/1S" tx-rate="52Mbps-20MHz/1S" frames=1586,1366 hw-frames=2517,2424 signal-strength=-67dBm@1Mbps signal-to-noise=34dB tx-ccq=78% p-throughput=45367 tx-rate-set="CCK:1-11 OFDM:6-54 BW:1x SGI:1x HT:0-7" 12 interface=wlan1 mac-address=90:63:3B:11:20:BA rx-rate="1Mbps" tx-rate="52Mbps-20MHz/1S" frames=1968,2234 hw-frames=5151,2491 signal-strength=-84dBm@1Mbps signal-to-noise=17dB tx-ccq=54% p-throughput=40136 tx-rate-set="CCK:1-11 OFDM:6-54 BW:1x SGI:1x HT:0-7" 13 interface=wlan1 mac-address=94:B8:6D:DC:8E:B2 rx-rate="65Mbps-20MHz/1S/SGI" tx-rate="72.2Mbps-20MHz/1S/SGI" frames=10275,10684 hw-frames=12796,11170 signal-strength=-65dBm@HT20-6 signal-to-noise=36dB tx-ccq=92% p-throughput=54798 tx-rate-set="CCK:1-11 OFDM:6-54 BW:1x SGI:1x HT:0-7" 14 interface=wlan1 mac-address=76:C1:E8:44:D3:B9 rx-rate="26Mbps-20MHz/1S" tx-rate="78Mbps-20MHz/2S" frames=842,2516 hw-frames=1474,3457 signal-strength=-61dBm@1Mbps signal-to-noise=40dB tx-ccq=72% p-throughput=64454 tx-rate-set="CCK:1-11 OFDM:6-54 BW:1x SGI:1x HT:0-15"
I'm trying to extract registration data from the router terminal however the command /interface wireless registration-table print stats is not returning anything (see the screenshot)

Unless you hit a bug in ROS (not impossible, but quite unlikely[*]) this means that no wireless clients are currently connected to your AP. The command only displays information about clients connected to AP at the moment command is run.
[*]that's true if your device is running some recent version of ROS. If it's running anything older than long-term (6.47 at the moment), then nobody remembers what kind of bugs were available ...

Re: WiFi limitations
Thanks for your prompt reply. There are more than 50 devices connected which I can see from the registration table (see screenshot).I'm trying to extract registration data from the router terminal however the command /interface wireless registration-table print stats is not returning anything

Also the ROS version is MikroTik RouterOS 6.47.9
Re: WiFi limitations
When AP is managed by capsman, you have to look at registration table on capsman device under /caps-man registration-table. Registration table on CAP itself will be empty.

Re: WiFi limitations
But how can I get information about 1S/2S/SGI and also client related details like CCK, OFDM HT, VHTMCS? Capsman registration table does not provide it by default.When AP is managed by capsman, you have to look at registration table on capsman device under /caps-man registration-table.

Re: WiFi limitations
You can't. Using capsman to manage wireless interfaces of connected APs comes with plenty of downsides, one of them is reduced observability (and perhaps the most important one is lack of setup options).But how can I get information about 1S/2S/SGI and also client related details like CCK, OFDM HT, VHTMCS?

Not really a comfort, but: if one uses wifiwave2 drivers on supported devices under v7, even without using capsman one can't see any of the advanced information about connected clients:
Code: Select all

Re: WiFi limitations
What are the requirements of this AP.
Perhaps you need more than one and or different type.
