It just doesn't.

I rebooted both devices couple of times even I was not believing. It shouldn't happen but not a single reply was obtained from default gateway. However, signal was full.
I know both are different channels and having wide difference between 2.4 and 5 Ghz. It shouldn't happen. I will try again when I go on terrace again. Let us see what I got next time.
You can buy a spectrum analyzer on the open market. This is fairly popular for basic purposes Wi-Spy Wireless Spectrum Analysis – affordable, easy to use troubleshooting tools from MetaGeek, makers of inSSIDer | MetaGeek - I have a 2.4/5GHz combo dongle that I use on occasion (rare these days but still neat to have).

Oh. You mean this kind of product, AirView | Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.
Well, I found this kind of thing couple of months ago but I didn't look much into it.
But if you are saying it helps, I will see.

I think for thatI just have to keep my laptop at the terrace and analyze by keeping laptop next to the device if it works with the laptop.

No you couldn't. The UIs of these devices do not have enough information to solve this type of problem by itself.

Yes. AP doesn't have spectrum analyzer unless it has any advance system opted by ISP.

From a strictly legal standpoint, just because you spent money does not allow you to break the T&C. Typical consumer laws in most countries state that the company has the responsibility to fix the problem and if it cannot it should ask the product be returned and your money refunded. From what I've read, you've refused all of the above because they have been unable to satisfactorily solve the problem.

As a consumer myself, however, I understand that when you get fed up with a product not working properly you want to take matters in to your own hands. I've never *not* been granted permission to perform basic maintenance on the switches in my area but that's only because I have a special relationship with my LCO - if I were anyone else they'd probably get pretty annoyed that I'm touching their stuff.

Similar, if I were to go up and move the Vodafone BTS that serves my in-law's building (where I can't get any signal whatsoever 1m inside their balcony), they'd probably have me arrested.


You are right. Customers should be allowed to handle the equips belongs to company but not in case of tikona as I have heard the stories of Tikona.
I must say tikona is biggest mismanaged company I have ever seen. Their customers sign up for connectivity. As we all know, how much reliable their service is. Customers start complaining and one day, customers get tired of it and don't pay any due and also take custody of device never return it as far as I have heard. Most important, officials never ask about this thing. This is strange I must say.
Area manager also added in some areas, it becomes the business of selling devices of Tikona and if you need connectivity, they'll provide you on sharing ID. Some bunch of idiots have started selling bandwidth on residential line without holding license or any docs, can you believe it?
Tikona is a big company but not that much like Reliance and Tata. I haven't heard this kind of things from Tata customers. I would be afraid of touching device if it is of anyone else than Tikona.

However, I am touching installed device at my place which only affects me not the whole network. I mean I am not touching AP or any node equips or any other equips which affects other customers. Obviously, this could be serious if I do such things.
I was laughing when I heard that Tikona technician had turn OFF the AP belongs to other ISP installed next to Tikona's which was interfering. I don't know what actions that ISP took against that technicians. However, he was with that same company for long time and moved to Tikona after.

If tikona is reading our discussion, I may get in to trouble very soon.
Yes, there are logs. But again, getting in to the device is unlikely to be of assistance.

At least, there wouldn't be some help after setting up some para like distance, gain. Also it tells signal, noise floor and devices around AP working on the same channel. It will help somewhat.
Not in the way spectrum ana. helps.

Something of that order. I personally prefer the Wi-Spy for that purpose. I do also have a Ubiquiti SR-71 which I keep with me just for general spot checks.

You should see the amount of equipment a proper installation tech has to carry around. Where I come from, just for simple DTH installs the installer has an entire van full of gear, likewise with cellular crews. For WiFi/WiMax the amount of gear isn't quite that much but here most installers don't even have a full backpack of stuff - I consider this inadequate. A responsible service provider should be giving their techs all the tools they need to do something other than guesswork.

FTFY ;)

This is what you get when you get 700Cr in seed capital. Although I feel sorry for Tikona that Axiata pulled out of their deal, I'm happy for Axiata.

Yes. This is one of the things we have actively attempted to prevent with our services.

If you're touching a NS5, this doesn't affect only you - this is almost certainly a backbone device.

...I know what I'd do.

No, that's not what the logs have - that would take way too much space in the device and/or involve sending way too much data back to the central office - they have much more simple things like authentication attempts, IP/MAC address delegations - stuff like that. It will keep *some* data about the signal strength and stuff but only hours worth, if that.

As I remembered, Axiata pulled it when there were something going related to TRAI policies and many international investors pulled their companies/investments by giving reason of uncertainty in Telecom policies in India. Tikona was one the victim. It still has 4 investors according to Wikipedia. Goldman Sachs and Oak India are two of them holding maximum stack in tikona.

Well I would love to tell you that spidigo has provided me NS 5 after reviewing site by their 2-3 technicians and my consistent reminder about my voice application, they provided me the best solution, NS 5. A device normally they use to connect their APs backbone as you have told.

On that NS 5, I am the sole user having internet connectivity through.

There's official reasons and then there's underlying reasons :)

What I was saying is that USUALLY the solutions that are sold are 2.4GHz for customer connectivity and 5GHz for backbone. It's not a hard and fast rule :)

On that NS 5, I am the sole user having internet connectivity through.

So you have Tikona & Spidigo both?

Spidigo is right to use 5GHz even for customer connectivity because it's less crowded anyway.

Yep I have both at this moment. I wanted to switch my whole network to Tikona but I cannot if I consider Voice-video application.

I am paying 2k-2.5k a month for these connection even though I am not satisfied with their services.
Tikona connectivity is not stable whereas speed is ****ing awesome. In case of Spidigo, connectivity is stable but speed especially sucks a lot.

I think Hayai existence in my city may help me and many others like me.
SPiDiGo is providing connectivity on 5Ghz only to me and other who have special requirement like me. They do not provide connection on 5Ghz to every one.
You know how much costly 5Ghz CPEs are. If it is provided to everyone and after termination it is not returned, company may get in to trouble. Its plan cost includes CPE and tariff cost both.

I know there is no this kind of rule but no company provides connection on 5 Ghz to ordinary customer even if customer has special requirement or location.

As you are telling, ISP tech should have wide variety of devices. SPiDiGo tech have them but only in limited numbers and not available with every tech.

I have seen Bullet2, Bullet2HP, nanostation 2, nanostation2HP, and last nanostation 5 worked at my location with spidigo team. I had tried number of ISPs available in my area but spidigo is different from all. They are willing to attend complaints, try their level best and most important after raising a complaint they attend as soon as possible. I remembered when it was new in market, tech is sent on my place in 2 hrs after registering the complaints.

But today different scenario, customers have increased. They address complaints and also give solution but as you know, no ISP has solution of fluctuation speed at night when traffic is high due to ****ing downloaders are on job. That hurts me a lot in video calls with Spidigo.

Spidigo is the company which replaced Tikona in many areas. If it continues like this, there will no existence of Tikona in my city. However, tikona is holding license which will definitely help it once it is launched nation wide. According to media sources on internet, Chief Tech officer , Mr. Tarun was planning to launch Tikona 4G in OCT but no update is received yet from media or Tikona.

TT has passed this news. but acc to recent update not official, it is being expected to launch at year end or starting of next year first quarter.(last line of last para)
 
That is why I was asking about load balancing on linux but I think I will not get stability from two unstable lines as they are holding two diff. IPs.



Above nasty thing pushed me to become monkey for a whole day. This one is the latest one. I think it is time to move to BSNL.
 
I sent cordial invitation to Tikona team to be my guest. In reply to my invitation, Tikona technician, area manager, network team head and office desk engineer were my guest for 3 hrs. They set polarity of AP-receiver such way that they communicate each other like love-birds. Network team head and office desk engineer had taken personal interest in choosing right devices for me as per location. That is working too perfect since two days as I can say but love birds still gets distraction during night very often but that can be ignorable for surfing and downloading application. Hardly I get 10-15% Packet loss during night hours and remain hardly for 2-5 mins. Average I get 1-3%. In the morning, it provides surprisingly 0% pc.One more thing I have noticed when I checked line quality yesterday night, I got 15-20% pc from Mumbai server whereas Singapore serve were only giving 7-9% pc. There may be something wrong with the route or Mum server.
