Hi, we are testing a mesh network with open80211s (www.o11s.org) in a wireless-testing kernel. We are using A-link WL54USB adapters with the zd1211rw driver. Mesh seems to work fine, but the connection is established only with 1Mbit/s (we are getting ~80kb/s transfer rates with FTP). When using adapters in "regular" WLAN, we were able to get much faster speeds (7-10Mbit). Is this a driver feature? Is it possible to increase speed in mesh mode? Thanks in advance, - Petri Virkkala |

Here's the result of "sudo iw dev mesh station dump" in a two link mesh network: Station xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (on mesh) inactive time: 64 ms rx bytes: 5699474 rx packets: 9166 tx bytes: 253024 tx packets: 2597 tx bitrate: 1.0 MBit/s mesh llid: 29759 mesh plid: 28168 mesh plink: ESTAB "tx bitrate" is here 1.0MBit/s as we suspected. Is there a way to change/force it to faster speeds? - Petri Virkkala |
