Hi all,
I ran another iperf test with the following scenario below:
node 1 node 2 node 3
ath0 <--ch 1--> ath0 ath1 <--ch 11-> ath0
Both nodes 1 and 3 are still using WRAP board w/ 266MHz cpu with single radio inside but this time I replaced node 2 with a desktop PC w/ 1GHz cpu and 2 radios. The PC is running Ubuntu Linux and Madwifi drivers. The result of iperf from node 1 to 3 isn't any better than when node 2 was using WRAP w/ 2 radios. I was expecting higher throughput from node 1 to 3 due to a faster cpu on node 2 to forward packets between the 2 radios inside but I am now confused.
I am currently not running Batman and instead manually creating the route table in trying to isolate the throughput problem.
Maybe there is some configuration parameters that need to be set on node 2? Any advice would be appreciated.
Try to scan if you don't have any ap on the same channel or overlapping channels in the neighborhood. Then, put the ch1 on 1 and the ch2 on 14. That would maximise the separation.
And try this outdoor in order to avoid reflexions indoor.
