Several Moving Bridges in one network on big area

Sun Mar 12, 2023 3:33 pm

Hello Guys,

I'm new to this forum and until now it helped me a lot.
I tried severel things but I can not create a stable network. It is more or less unstable.

Hardware:
  • Metal 52 ac on a antenna pole in the middle of the farm
  • Groove 52 on a driving machine
  • Groove 52 on a PickUp for having WiFi for mobile devices
  • Groove 52 on a Buggy for having WiFi for mobile access and a wired connection for a box pc
Picture of the area:

The Metal 52 ac is connected to a router (with DHCP server) and has access to the internet.

What is working until now:
  • Internet access from mobile devices all over the farm ( if they are within range to a Groove antenna)
  • internet access for devices connected by ethernet to the Groove 52 ac

What is not working stable:
  • Connection from a box-pc at the buggy to a device on the drving machine
  • sometimes it is working but slow and instable

Configuration:
  • Metal 52 ac:
    • Bridge Eth1 to Wlan1
    • WLan1 AP mode
    • fixed IP 192.168.2.2
  • /interface bridge

I tried two different scenarios:
  1. Same SSID for the ap at the Metal 52 ac and the virtual APs
  2. SSID A at the Metal 52 ac AP and connectet all other Groove antennas by station bridge to this SSID. The virtual APs are all configured to SSID B

Option B seems to be a bit more stable. The Wife to the Metal 52 ac on the antenna pole works great. The issue I con not solve is the connection between a device at the buggy and a device at the machine. This connection is slow and connections between this devices are lost sometimes every 5 minutes and somtimes after hours. While testing these two vehicles are standing still in a distance of about 20 to 50 meters.

All antennas except the Metal on the antenna pole are moving around all the time.

Hope you can help me with this setup. I tried to search for something like this in this forum. If I have not found a relating post, but there is still one please excuse.
Thank you in advance
Florian
