An internet provider installed us a microwave link:

The issue is that:

The ping from our side to the gateway is about 1-2 ms, which is great, but it remains like this for only 12 hours, then it start to give latency and time outs 100 - 800 ms.

The provider changes only the channel and the ping reduces to 1-2 ms, i asked them after they changed the frequency channel to go back to the old channel to check if it's a noise issue or not, apparently as expected thing remained 1-2 ms. We have been in this case for two days.

Any one has an idea of what could cause this issue ? or had this issue before.

Thanks,

    Sounds very much like a hardware issue to me - perhaps something awry on the RF side of the transmitter. It's likely that the vendor will need to troubleshoot this for you.

  • Thanks, EEAA do you think replacement should fix this issue ?

  • It could be a hardware issue, or it could be someone with an antenna walking all over your frequency.. are you on 5.4, 5.2 or 2.4 GHz?

  • I'm not sure, but as i remember when the provider installed it they were talking about 5.4 band.

  • I see you posted the resolution, using a 40Mhz slice of spectrum instead of 20 does allow for higher throughput, but it does make it more likely that you will see interference..

The provider has solved the issue, by reducing the width of the frequency band from 40Mhz to 20Mhz.
