Outdoor tests. Indoor tests are non-sense.
Then we should go to Las Vegas or Sahara... where most Wifi records are broken :-) at 2.4ghz tests we are also influenced by "water" ... due to rivers, lakes and that in the air :-)
The problem with outdoor tests is "permanent power supplies".
Didn't you see those nifty batteries powering the foneras? if you run iperf on your laptop they could run your fonera for 2hours and more ! if you could power it at 3.3V you could even reach 4 hours... those model 2100 are using 50% of your power just for heating the air surrounding it...not for the wifi chip...
And I also think the foneras are not the right platforms to use, since they only ouput 1.5Mo/sec in ad-hoc mode in static routing configuration.
yes! agreed.
Is it a problem of the ad-hoc driver or of the hardware itself?
I only know that they can handle 1.9Mo/sec in 'NAT' handling...but that wasn't the case during these tests iirc? The wifi speeds were even set at 2mbit fixed during tests outside where more than 100meter between each hop and still a ping going accross 4 hops
