WDS Access Point Question

[jdolmetsch]

My company is a large outdoor wireless integrator and we are doing some testing on the Ubiquiti AP line to see how it may augment our traditional business model in the Mesh world.

I have a question about WDS setup. I have 5 Pico stations and (1) is connected to an ethernet connection. I want the other (4) to connect back to the main Pico Station and all (5) to be Access Points to serve clients.

Right now I have them all set to be Access Point WDS and they all connect to each other and seam to accept clients but performance is horrible on the client side even when client signal is great. The peers have LOS between ech other and great link signal. The peer screen shows good transmit and receive link speed.

Pings from the client to the main AP are 2 to 5ms but drop constantly but pings from the client to its connected Pico station are perfect

I was wondering if the way I have the WDS is set right or is there something else that is required

We used the SSID auto function for it to build the WDS links and the links are all less than 500ft apart with LOS between the remotes and the main. Could it be having a bridge loop if we use te auto function?

I am having the same problem. Did this issue ever get resolved?

Hey Dave,

How man AP repeaters do you have? And are they all set to Auto?

Thanks,
