On The Uplink I Have 0 Error Drop Packets And A Very High Number Of Capacity Drop Packets
What Causes Capacity Drop Packets ?
| Downlink RSSI | -60 dBm |
|---|---|
| Downlink SNR | 38 dB |
| Link Quality (Uplink) | 98 % |
|---|---|
| Link Capacity (Uplink) | 75 % |
Hi @Atang_Maretele ,
You may observe capacity drops when the traffic sent to the Ethernet port exceeds the performance of the wireless link, which depends on the available RSSI and SNR levels.
For example, with a downlink RSSI of -60 dB, the wireless link can provide about 200 Mbps of throughput. If 300 Mbps of traffic is sent, the extra 100 Mbps cannot be delivered over the air and will be dropped.
That is what i thought but I get those capacity drops even when I am just idling not downloading or uploading anything. just PC connected to the sm! sm is on bridged mode . failing to understand why this is happening
The radio has processed 1.5 GB of traffic with a 4% retransmission rate. This suggests potential interference, preventing the radio from successfully transmitting all data packets in real-time. To stabilize the link and reduce retransmissions, we recommend capping the UL MCS level.
the retransmissions i get rid of them by limiting mcs to DS MCS 4 - 16-QAM 3/4
it’s the capacity drops that i have a problem with cause even when there is no upload activity they are there. idling the radio for 30mins i find capacity drops at more than 1000 packets
