I have a new RB433AH and MT R52nM card.
My client registers just fine and gets decent receive btest results of 64 Mbps for as long as I want. If I stop that test and do a send btest, I peak at 10Mbps for a few seconds…then it goes down to 0, then back up to 10…then back to 0. During this up/down time, I have successful pings…then they stop when test is at 0…then they are successful again.
My config is below.
Also…of note…if I enable the 54Mbps rate, my btest result actually goes down. Same if I enable MCS 5,6, or 7.
Here is my registration table. The first is when doing a “receive” test…the second when doing a “send” test.

My client is a Lenovo T410 with a factory Intel AGN card. Doesn’t get much more mainstream than that.
Thanks for any input.
