Dear all
maybe someone can try to explain following strange effect:
- I set up a Ubiquiti LiteBeam with latest firmware, worked perfectly. The LiteBeam is linked to a node on a hill top, approx. 18 miles away. I get a SNR of 23dB and a LQ/NLQ of 100%. All available remote nodes were listed.
- Nevertheless, as soon as I tried to select one of the remote nodes or one of their services, their was no response.
- Running a tracert - from different computers - showed that there was no connection to the hill top node -> at the same time the AREDN GUI said LQ and NLQ 100%.
- Finally, after 2 days, I asked the sysop to try to connect from the hill top node to the LiteBeam. Guess what - that worked!
- Now, even more strange -> after the LiteBeam was connected from the hill top node, I'm now able to connect the remote nodes and services!
I wonder how this is possible, or what was missing in this connection. Remote node is a Ubiquiti Rocket M5, and all devices are running on the latest firmware. I currently have no idea what could cause this situation. Maybe a bug in the .8 release?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks & best regards,
Kurt
