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
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
- Code: Select all

- All Groove 52 ac

I tried two different scenarios:
- Same SSID for the ap at the Metal 52 ac and the virtual APs
- 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
