I am trying to find out the rssi and bssi of a WNAP320, but cannot seem to get my network monitor app (Intermapper) to recognize the particular OID.  I have loaded the correct mib file, and can pull ...

    Hi Nick

     

    Hope there is no obstacles or any interferences betweek two buildings. You can use third party application such as inssider to find out signal strength. .

    Regret to inform you that Our current firmware do not support remote AP signal strength in WDS mode.

     

    Thanks

Hi Nick44

 

Tested in v3.5.20.0 firmware. Able to get associatedBSSID and StationRSSI through MIB browser.

 

Following are the OIDs

 

Associated BSSID - .1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.100.7.9.8.1.1.6
Station RSSI -  .1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.100.7.9.8.1.1.10

 

We are getting those information under

 

stationList -> stationListTable -> stationListEntry -> associatedBssid / stationRssiWNAP320_MIB.png

    Thanks for the response, RaghuHR.  I just upgraded the firmware on both units (operating in bridge mode) to 3.5.20.0, and made sure I was using the WNAP320_v3.5.20.0.mib file, but still cannot get any info from section 8 "station list".  I can get info from earlier sections (e.g., 5.1.1), so I know I'm formatting the OID correctly.  Both 8.1.1.6 and 8.1.1.10 return "NoSuchName" no matter what I do.  =(

      Hi NickC44

       

      Could you please attach AP configuration and MIB browser details?

      Have you tried without WDS?

      In addition with that, you may download the logs and share it?

       

      Thanks

        AP config file shared via Dropbox:

        I used the iReasoning MIB browser to see what you were seeing in your previous reply.

         

        I have not tried it without WDS.  I am using the two units to link buildings across a street (~130ft, clear line-of-sight), so no WDS = no point at all.

         

        Log is filled with these messages:

        Dec 28 02:41:33 hostapd: inet_connection_check 2379 {pinging gateway 172.17.1.1, status 1}
        Dec 28 02:41:33 hostapd: Network Integrality: Ping Success
