There is a point to point link with SXT AC on both ends. Distance is around 1200 meters and height at both end is 65 ft. Link was running fine for around 350 days (real uptime). But from last 10 days I'm totally frustrated with the link condition. No changes are made to the P2P link after first commissioning.
There is huge ping loss from AP to CPE frequently. In AP Log it shows - disconnected , too many pole timeouts. In CPE it shows - lost connection, extensive data loss. Also another strange thing observed was that during first link commissioning, the difference between Chain 0 & Chain 1 signal level was 3/4 db but now I noticed its exactly 10/10 db. Like C0 = 59/59 and C1 = 69/69.
I have done the following changes at AP end to check if problem resolves but no luck-
# Changed frequency
# Changed protocol from nv2 to nstreme. (Only good was decrease in latency)
# Changed channel width from 20/40 to only 20. (B/W requirement is just 25-30 mbps)
# Rebooted device at both end.
What other changes shall I do to make the link stable? Attaching device config for both ends.
