Bandwith test

Hello,
I have simple WDS link, with D-link card, Atheros AR5212 chipset.
When I try bandwith test, it shows me like 23-24 Mbit in one direction.
But when I try ftp test through that wds link, it gives me only 10 Mbit of speed?

Why ? because wireless if not duplex or what ?

hi there!

bandwith test must be simmetric. if everithing is ok. we have the same situation when nstreme is on and signal levels is quite low… but i don’t know what happends on your case.

maybe you have to give some more information about configuration - hardware and wireless settings: nstreme, turbo, antennas, etc… OS version…

kind regards,

Hello,

For PC I use 2 x HP Vectra P III 800 Mhz with D-Link DWL-520 (Atheros 5212)
Antennas are Parabolic 15dB from Pacific Network,
signal is very good (1 km link, full LOS)

Processor is about 10-15% occupied in transfer time.

You mean if I get 20mbit on bandwith test in one direction,
I should get something similar in ftp transfer test ?

hi,

i read forum news once dayly…

try "/tool bandwidth-test <ap’s_ip-address> protocol=tcp direction=receive random-data=no " from client’s site. value must be very close to your download speed from ftp, e. g.
