My name is Josh and I
work for Communications
Advantage, a high speed
Wireless internet service
provider serving
Calafornia's Amador
county and some
surrounding areas.
To serve our 400+ clients
we primarily use
SmartBridges
equipment(AirBridge
Total, AirBrige Outdoor,
AirPoint Pro Outdoor and
AirPoint Nexus), a few
Tranzeo radios(2.4 units
and 5.8 for backhaul when
NEXUSes are not
available) and Mikrotiks
for bandwidth management.
We are currently having
an issue that we have
been unsuccessfull in
solving. The Willow Creek
area has been plagued
with slow speeds and
massive flooding on the
wireless side.
Two Bonded T1 lines in
Ione link wirelessly to
the Cammanche area that
in turn links to Willow
Creek without any
problems. When connected
to the switch, in Willow
Creek we get beautiful
speeds(1-2mbps) but when
connected wirelessly to
the AP we get very very
terrible
speeds(40-200kbps) even
when the ethernet port
usage is 500kbps with
peaks at 1mbps.
The Willow Creek location
itself consists of a
switch that connects the
Tranzeo uplink(TR6), an
AirPoint Pro Outdoor and
a NEXUS ap that we hoped
would replace the APPO.
The Willow Creek AP
(AirPoint Pro outdoor)
has about 20 clients, two
of them are uplinks to
other APs(Also APPOs)
that have less then 10
clients on each of them,
so no more then 40
clients are passing
traffic through the AP at
once.
We have made sure that
all equipment upstream of
Willow Creek is indeed
functioning correctly and
that no equipment or
wires are faulty. We
tried connecting clients
to the NEXUS and they saw
300kbps - 700kbps(very
nice). Though for some reason we
couldn't get some
airbridges to connect to
it, and later the nexus
booted almost every
client off at the same
time for some unknown
reason and we were unable
to get them reconnected.
Our two main questions
are:
Has anyone noticed any
Issues with ABOs and ABTs
connecting to NEXUSes?
Why is our AP so slow and
how can we fix it?
Any ideas or questions
are very welcome.
