What is the ccq value that should be maintained for a good signal?
The CCQ (Client Connection Quality) is an indicator of the quality of the connection in wireless networks, especially used in MikroTik equipment and other wireless network technologies. It represents a percentage that measures both the success rate in the transmission of packets and the quality of those packets when received, taking into account factors such as errors, retransmissions, and the capacity of the connection.
CCQ Ideal Value
For a signal considered good and a stable and efficient wireless connection, it is sought to maintain a CCQ:
- Over 80%: Considered generally acceptable for most wireless applications, indicating a reasonably high quality connection.
- Close to 90% or higher: It is considered ideal for applications that require high reliability and performance, such as VoIP, high-definition video streaming or long-range point-to-point links.
Importance of CCQ
- Link Performance: A high CCQ indicates that the wireless link is operating efficiently, with little need to retransmit packets, resulting in better link performance and stability.
- Problem Diagnosis: A low CCQ can be an early indicator of problems on the wireless link, such as interference, antenna alignment problems, or even faulty hardware.
Improving the CCQ
If you find that your wireless connection's CCQ value is consistently low, there are several actions you can take to try to improve this indicator:
- Adjust Antenna Alignment: Ensure that the antennas are correctly aligned to maximize the quality of the received signal.
- Change the channel: Moving your link to a less congested channel can help reduce interference and improve CCQ.
- Update Firmware: Ensure that both the transmitter and receiver are running the latest version of firmware, which may include improvements in transmission efficiency.
- Modify Power Settings: Adjusting the transmit power to optimize the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can have a positive impact on the CCQ.
- Check the Hardware: Check for deterioration or damage to the equipment and replace any defective components.
It is important to remember that CCQ is just one of many indicators of the health and performance of a wireless link. It should be evaluated in the context of other diagnostic parameters, such as signal strength (RSSI), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and packet error rates, to obtain a complete understanding of the link state.

I have a nano m2 the ccq me less than 50 t the transmission -82 and I cannot connect to the Internet what should I do
Good afternoon! The correct values for the link to operate correctly must be the following:
– Signal: between -45 and -60
– Noise: -90 or lower
– SNR: 32dB or higher
– CCQ: The CCQ can be a value between 80% and 100%, the CCQ is the Customer Connection Quality, if the value of CCQ is high, the quality of the radio link connection will be good; If the CCQ is low, the quality of the connection will be poor, but this would not be the main cause for not connecting to the internet.
Hello, help, I have several 2.4 GHz tplink headlights that have low ccq, I have already changed cables and it is still the same
Good afternoon dear, the CCQ is an indicator of the quality of the wireless connection and depends on factors such as high signal level, low noise level and low interference, for transmissions to be successful and a high CCQ to be displayed. I don't understand what you mention about changing cables.
At what distance with one m2 can I connect and have a good signal, what is the speed that should be in the tx/Rx it varies for me because I am new to the subject
Hello dear!
The appropriate distance to have a good signal with M2 equipment depends on the model you have. What model of M2 equipment do you have?
In general, for short distances, from 0 to 5km, you can use Nanoloco, NanoStation and Nanobeam equipment.
For medium distance, from 5 to 10Km, you can use Litebeam and Powebeam equipment
For long distance, from 10km onwards, you can use Rocketdish Antennas with Rocket radio.
The TX/RX speed value displayed on the device represents the capacity of the link, but it is a theoretical data of the speed that the link can have considering parameters such as Signal, noise, channel width and others. As the signal is always varying, the TX/RX speed also varies, but this is normal behavior.
The real speed of the link is what can be measured by doing a speed test.
I have a nano station loco m2 and etecsa is 1 km away but I don't receive a signal that could be
Hello dear!
Is the NanoLoco M2 device using it as an Access Point? Are you using that device for a Point to Point link with another NanoLoco M2?
