Hi, I am trying to set up a 802.11a network with 6 nodes. Is it ok if I disable broadcast of beacon that takes place every 100ms. I dont need BSSID or ESSID. I can preset it. Are there any other repercussions beacuse of these changes ? Thanks Prasad Hegde |

Hi, You can disable the beacon etc in adhoc mode by using adhocdemo mode. This (in theory) should not influence throughput etc. My experiments with adhocdemo were not positive. a)throughput was less b)the maximum range at which packets could be received was significantly less (range was decreased by a factor of 5) I would be interested in hearing what happened to other people also..
