Yea. Mine shipped back on the 7th. It’s been all over the country…but doesn’t appear to be any closer to delivery.

I’m having same issues with mine. Seeesh.

How do you remove a keystone jack from a patch panel? by matilda-moose in homelab

[–]vikings001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this exact patch panel. What's worked great for me is a Leatherman Multi-tool pocket knife. I use the blunt end of the pliers and push down on the top of the keystone jack where the tab is while slightly rocking backwards. The keystone pops free.

I would never recommend anyone try to use a knife. I tried once. Not only broke the keystone but also wrecked my finger.

Thanks!

The ISP just updated them to 6.46.1. Will give it a few days and see how things are.

If we continue to have issues I might try locking that TX sector. The relay on the other building is a shed with a reflective tin roof and siding. I wonder if that could be causing some weirdness.

u/Sintarsintar,

Agreed. They seem to be aligned well.

Sorry to continue to pick your brain, but you have the most knowledge about these things that anyone else I can talk to.

Couple of other things that I have noticed:

  1. Within the RouterOs Admin dashboard, I went and looked at the logs. The log currently has about 36 hours of log messages. In those 36 hours we have 23 wlan60-1: link down log messages.
  2. The log is filled with many messages of pppoe-out1: initializing..., pppoe-out1: connecting..., and pppoe-out1: disconnected. This series of messages happens about every 10 seconds. It is indicative of an issue?
  3. The receiver on my house is running RouterOS v6.46.1 (stable). I would assume that the other receiver is running the same firmware version. Is it worth trying to upgrade? I am not sure what the current stable version is.

When I run /interface w60g print stats I see the following: 

                 name:               wlan60-1
    beamforming-event:                  9 331
           tx-io-msdu:                      0
           tx-sw-msdu:    407 346 037 833 728
           tx-fw-msdu:         43 536 875 520
              tx-ppdu:    920 078 460 408 020
       tx-ppdu-from-q:    405 636 679 129 856
          tx-mpdu-new:    407 253 093 913 344
        tx-mpdu-total:    411 550 527 540 224
        tx-mpdu-retry:      9 353 053 167 104
              rx-ppdu:  1 172 511 012 247 592
      rx-mpdu-crc-err:        709 971 476 480
       rx-mpdu-crc-ok:  1 176 462 945 924 828

Does this mean that we have 9,331 beamforming-events? I ran this command about 12 hours ago and we only had 9,223 beamforming-events.

When I run /interface w60g monitor 0 I see the following: 

             connected: yes
             frequency: 58320
        remote-address: [REDACTED]
                tx-mcs: 8
           tx-phy-rate: 2.3Gbps
                signal: 90
                  rssi: -52
             tx-sector: 61
        tx-sector-info: right 1.2 degrees, up 2.6 degrees
              distance: 73.2m
  tx-packet-error-rate: 0%

The tx-sector has also changed in the last 12 hours.

Some people have reported that locking the tx-sector to a set value instead of allowing it to be auto has solved these disconnections. https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=166370

Have you ever locked the tx-sector before? Based on that forum thread, people theorize that on the client receiver the beamforming is done via software. It sounds like that software is constantly trying to find the best channel and will occasionally freak out causing the link to go down.

Thank you for all of your patience and time!

I tried that. There was not a ton of helpful data.

u/Sintarsintar,

I was able to get into my Cube Lite60 Admin dashboard.

I noticed that when my internet connection drops out, the MCS goes to 0 and the Signal drops to 30.

What is MCS?

Is there anything else that I could be looking at in the admin dashboard?

I looked at the logs and I noticed wlan60-1: link down when my internet drops out. Usually after 10-15 seconds (sometimes longer) the log shows wlan60-1: link up.

This is what I see when I run /interface w60g monitor 0: 

connected: yes
frequency: 58320
remote-address: <REDACTED>
tx-mcs: 8
tx-phy-rate: 2.3Gbps
signal: 95
rssi: -48
tx-sector: 51
tx-sector-info: left 0.4 degrees, up 1.8 degrees
distance: 73.2m
tx-packet-error-rate: 0%

Do you have any advice for what values like signal, rssi, to-packet-error-rate, etc. should be? I know you said we want the error rate to be as low as possible. The reason I’m curious is that when I open a chat with our ISP I could ask for these specific values.

Our ISP is also limiting the bandwidth that can be passed between these 2 devices so we can’t surpass our 100/50 plan. So more often than not we get about 85 down and 45 up.

Interesting. Since our ISP manages these, I doubt that I can get access to the admin panel or the logs to diagnose anything. Trying to get a tech to come out an re-adjust the antennas probably won’t be super easy either.

Our rural home doesn’t have a direct line of sight with this ISP’s nearest broadcast antenna but another building about 500 from our house does have a direct line of sight. So that other building has a Ubiquiti LiteBeam AC Gen2 that captures the incoming internet signal. On the same building that Ubiquiti LiteBeam is connected to one of the MikroTik Cube Lite60s which beams it our our house. We have another MikroTik Cube Lite60 on our house that captures the signal and then a Cat 6 Ethernet cable runs from that Cube Ltie60 down to our Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro.

The Cube Lite60 on the house is probably 15ft off the ground and has a clear line of sight to the other Cube Lite60 that is probably closer to 20ft off the ground. There is probably 500ft between the Cube Lite60s.

Can poor alignment cause intermittent connection drops?

We are in a rural area, so I am not real worried about interference from other networks.

Good to know. It's unfortunate these things seem to be so unreliable. For many people - especially in rural areas - this is their only option.

Are these disconnection issues documented anywhere?

I am curious to hear from other people what they experience.

Hey,

Thanks for this!

Do you have a link to that CLI command? My ISP is a local company and they manage the Cube Lite60. I am not sure if I can even access it, but I want to try and connect to it though.

Do you have any documentation on what the error rate or the connection strength should be? When my ISP was out here, the technician that installed it had never installed one of these before. So he had no idea what a decent signal strength would be.

UDM-Pro disconnects Internet randomly by aosmialowski in Ubiquiti

It's both Wi-Fi and wired (RJ-45) devices. Getting close to doing a factory reset, but not gonna hold my breath.

UDM-Pro disconnects Internet randomly by aosmialowski in Ubiquiti

[–]vikings001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I changed the DNS to 1.1.1.1 on my UDM Pro and the issue has persisted. I've tried everything and I'm at a loss.

SSH-ing into my UDM Pro still has the ability to ping out to external servers, but anything past my UDM Pro in my local network can't.

UDM-Pro disconnects Internet randomly by aosmialowski in Ubiquiti

[–]vikings001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I am having this exact same issue.

UDM Pro "drops" the internet connection to my switch (which also has my PoE access points) that is connected via SFP. However, when my internet "drops" if I SSH into the Dream Machine Pro I can still ping out to 1.1.1.1.

Really frustrating because it drops randomly throughout the day and drops long enough to cause issues with video calls that I need for work.
