I have been reading through the conversations and have not found anything addressing this. (one post was close but there was no response since March 6th to the customer).
We have 4 BR350's in a WISP mode. We have the following settings:
1 Mbps = YES
2 Mbps = basic
5.5 MBps = Basic
11 Mbps = Basic
We have the clients all set to 1 Mbps.
We have Frag = 1024
We have RTS = 1024 (may tweak that down since it isn't doing anything now)
We have about 30 clients in ranges from 0.5 miles to 4.5 miles
We have an Omni.
Our outer customers (have good signal at -40 db) are getting massively increasing ping times (400 ms+) to the radio during busy times. Our upstream is a T-1, but MRTG shows this only peaking at 1 Mbps.
So, do we have hidden node issues? What would you recommend on frag and RTS to maximize customer's (we are only wanting 256 kbps per client so choking is ok if they can just squeeze in against closer clients).
This is a big deal and may determine whether we stay with Cisco.. or move on to others equipment.
Thanks in advance
