20Mbit/sec Rx, 115Kbit/sec Tx --- is this possible?

Hi,


iam running a 5Ghz-10Mhz link in AP bridge. The link is connected over a 500m distance using Mktk 3.20 and two 19Db patch panel antennas. TX power is set at 10.
Iget 100CCQ overall quality and 100/89 CCQ for RX/Tx. Nstream is running also over that link.
Iam running vertical polarization (haven’t tried horizontal yet). There is a building that might be half blocking the Fresnel zone, but the radius of the signal from the antenna i think is just enough to be free of the obstacle.

When i do bandwidth test i get 20Mbit/sec Rx and 115Kbit Tx. (UDP test)
I get the same results if a change the frequencies used.

Having the above information, can you think of any reason of why i get the Tx link speed that low?

Upgrade to the latest OS.
Then from terminal window,
/sys router upgrade
this will upgrade the RB firmware.
Reboot and try again.

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
did you read the post first?

Actually iam not running on RB but on Alix, but even though what upgrading the bios has to do with Tx/Rx speed ?

Actually Inox,

I have seen this precise symptom on one link until I did what I suggested.
Unfortunately the first post did not indicate that it was not a routerboard.

Problem solved.

I downgraded to 3.17 and all is back in a working condition.


Thanks everyone for the help.

By testing further wih 3.20 i had a strange behaviour even on the same lan.
on a cisco L3 network i couldn’t even ping the ip address of MKTK after 24 hours.
