<title>NetEqualizer issues?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23299583</link>
<description><![CDATA[Installed a NetEq over the weekend and have been having problems ever since. Not sure if the problems are related to the NetEq or something else, but end users are experiencing intermittent connectivity problems - dropped packets and high pings. This happens both when accessing outside the network and also within the network. The issue arrises for about 1-2 minutes and then everything returns to normal.

I've sent an email to NetEq support, but wanted to see if anyone here has any ideas or has witnessed the same problem.]]></description>

<title>signal levels vs high ping times and more...</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23303676</link>
<description><![CDATA[Posted to the UBNT forum but I thought I'd run it by you all as well.

Ok let me run these two scenarios by you all.
1) I do a "show stations" in a PS2-EXT and they all come up with great signal levels (-40 to -60), I get a call from a customer saying he has slow INET, I check and sure enough he has high ping times. "If" it was local interference I should see his signal jump to like -85 or something correct?
If he still has -50 signal when he has high ping times it can't be interference can it?

2) Also, I see the PS2-EXT has an up time of 2 days, 14hrs. But all the stations say they have only been up for 19 minutes, is this just a bug with the firmware or could there actually be an issue? Why would that happen?

Thanks all ]]></description>

<title>DHCP vs Static IP</title>

<description><![CDATA[What are the advantages / disadvantages to using DHCP to serve addressses to customers? Likewise, what are advantages / disadvantages to giving all customers internal static IPs? Any real life experiences with each?]]></description>

<title>Remote access</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23301575</link>
<description><![CDATA[I can't get Mikrotik support to get an answer to my problem.
I just purchased a license and supposedly get 30 days support.
Can anyone suggest a solution
I'm simply trying to remotely access an AP (bullet M2HP) behind the hotspot setup on RouterOS4.2.
The AP has static IP and binding to the Hotspot server with "bypass" rule.
I've done a "nat-dst" rule and a "port forward".
I just cannot get it right seemingly. The only thing I see different than the standard Hotspot setup is my PPPoE client.
I'm wondering if the hotspot needs to be made aware of this to get packets out correctly?

Internet------>DSL PPPoE Modem--------->RouterOS4.2----->PPPoE client------->public interface (192.168.1.5)-------->Hotspot server local interface (10.10.0.1)------ethernet----->BulletM2HP Wireless AP (10.10.0.99)---------->Wireless clients.
---------------------------------------------------
Here's the firewall /NAT rules:

[admin@MikroTik] /ip firewall nat> print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic 
 0 X ;;; place hotspot rules here
     chain=unused-hs-chain action=passthrough 

 1   ;;; masquerade hotspot network
     chain=srcnat action=masquerade src-address=10.10.0.0/24 

 2   chain=.... action=accept 

 3   chain=dstnat action=dst-nat to-addresses=10.10.0.99 to-ports=80

Help please, anyone.

<title>STM-1 Router</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23283353</link>
<description><![CDATA[We need a transparent STM-1 link. 
Unfortunately Cisco routers are so expensive when bought new. 

Do you guys know any sites we can purchase Cisco equipment refurbished or used for cheaper prices and that we can trust as well ?

PS. Even new Imagestream is so expensive for STM-1 so is not a choice I guess. ]]></description>

<title>how to setup ISP wireless network and bandwidth caps</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23297081</link>
<description><![CDATA[Ok i am a (self taught) Wireless tech on a small isp and ATT is running us out of town so we are dropping all dsl/ dial-up and just focusing on our wireless clients of just under 200 and plan on growing that. Our network is currently running hard ip's on all clients (fake for radio and real for client) and with a bandwidth provider change i have a new set of ip's and have to reconfigure all again. I want to change the way we run. If you had the choice to start over, how would you do it, and with what equipment.

 We have a FULL T3 Bandwidth and 5.8 mains to our towers and 2.4 to clients turned down to 5.5 mbps max using the client radio's. What i want to do is have each client have a "set" bandwidth that they can have like 1.5mbps down and 750mbps up, etc so i can charge different rates for different speeds but i don't know how to get this all ramped up without to much downtime and what equipment to have.]]></description>

<title>Canopy SM question/issue</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23297952</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have a 900Mhz canopy customer that drops his connection intermittently, it's driving me crazy! he has great level and good jitter but he says he drops off from time to time and it comes back on it's own. I am not sure what to look for in the SM. When he comes back online everything looks good.
looking at all settings etc...maybe I have a setting that should be enabled or disabled, or maybe I can look at a log or something...
Also&#133; what the hell is "power save mode enable/disable" on a canopy SM?
I've scowered the planet for an answer.]]></description>

<title>Simple cheap pingable device?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23281963</link>
<description><![CDATA[I just did a new PoP that we have been informed can have unreliable power, we installed a large UPS here but power could go out and no one know for hours/even days.

I was going to take some unused or damaged radio that still can be set up/configged to just be something to ping, that isnt plugged into UPS power, that the dude could flag as down, and at what time it went down, to gauge if we are driving out there with a genny.

But can anyone think of some ready made device thats really cheap that you can set up an IP on, ping it, and plugs in?]]></description>
