Re: [Fixed] Help with my new WISP
Those signal strengths look great. It looks like you are operating in 2x mode which would give you additional throughput and lower latency (but i guess not in your case).
With signal that good, and jitter that low (jitter meaning interference in the area), from the SM side things look really just great. If that was on my network I'd classify it as a "smoking hot link.
I'd say the wisp needs to evaluate their AP loading.
There are a few other things that one could do but I am not going to ask, as this would only inform the OP of how to look further into the CPE which has admin access as it is.
The point that LLigetfa made about the P2P software running is very vaild. The AP is only capable of 4000 pps (packets per second) and a few users running that software would bog the AP down, crushing the ISP equipment. Is there a fix for this? Sure.... but we are diagnosing a link here, not talking about how to regulate internet.

Thanks for the replies, I am pretty sure its just oversubscribed. However the the 2 accounts we have may share the same AP but we do get allocated separate bandwidth. The plan is supposed to be 3/1.
If I hook up to my dads connection when he is using its unbearably slow from him saturating it with all his stuff. If I am connected to mine its ok, my brother and I use my connection so we can (try) to game on it.
I had azureus open in that SS it comes up on startup but nothing was downloading, I am not a heavy DLer.. I am going to try and get a tech on the phone, I still would like to know what size their main pipe is going from their tower to the internet. |

When your dads connection is saturated, it is most likely his router that is dogging. This is a well known fact and a lot has been written on how to manage it.
Try running speed tests and ping plots when he is max'ing his and another when he is offline and compare them. A Canopy AP does a pretty good job of arbitrating so that one heavy user doesn't put everyone in the toilet but still, there is only so much bandwidth to go around.

You state azureus was not downloading anything, was it also not uploading anything? If you use a good bit of your upload your download will suffer.

I'd say run your tests with your BT client on all machines in your house off, and not loaded on the pc. Exit the program completely. Then run your ping tests and what not. |
