I have setup a link for a distance of 500 meter (aerial distance) using RB433 router board having Compex wireless card on it.
Rb433 card is placed in an enclosure with integrated antenna of 13.5 dBi.
I am able to successfully get a link of 54Mbps with good signal strength (-48).
But still, actual throughput obtained using bandwidth test tool is only 10 Mbps.
I am using AP bridge and Station WDS configuration.
I have also tried with compression enable for wireless interface but of no avail.
Can anyone suggest me the configuration for getting high throughput or this is the best i can get with compex wireless card.
Also suggest me any wireless card which can be used with RB433 board and provides me throughput of around 30 Mbps.
You might try turning down the power on the radios. See what happens if you get down to a -65 signal. You may be overdriving the first stage of the receiver.
What is the bandwidth test tool? If it is external, do you have a 100mbs connection or a 10mbs? If the cable can only do 10, that is all the test will show.
If you are using the internal test tool, what is the CPU usage? The bandwidth test is CPU intensive. If you max the processor, you won’t get any more through the wireless link.
Hello,
You can get better performance if you enable single Nstream and if you disable Connection Tracking in Firewall…
Also if you want better throughput in both ways you should use Dual Nstream…
Thanks for your support .
I am able to get throughput of 14 Mbps after reducing the power.
But can anyone tell us for 500m rb433 board with compex card will provide only this much of throughput.
As maximum throughput noted was 18Mbps in Lab conditions.
