Hi,
I have 2 Mikrotik LHG G-5acD-XL’s set up as a PTP link (<1 mile). The wireless mode on the AP is “Bridge”, and the wireless mode on the station “Station Bridge”.
I can get ~80Mbps across the wireless link with routers plugged into both sides (using Mikrotik btest for testing).
When the routers are replaced by computers directly plugged into the radios (running iperf as a test or windows file transfers), the link maxes out at 2.5Mbps.
I’ve tried multiple computers/laptops and it still does the same thing.
I’ve already read a few things about NV2 not working so well on the ARM platform at the moment, so at the moment I’m running it as pure 802.11AC. I’ve tried with Nstreme both disabled/enabled and this seems to have no impact.
Both radios are running 6.40.8
Why can I get ~80Mbps with routers on both ends, but when computers are used, I can only hit 2.5Mbps.
This link is actually replacing an older link with Nanostation M2’s, and the same computers can transfer ~6.8Mbps when hooked up to the old link, but can only do 2.5Mbps when hooked up the LHG’s
Has anyone ran into something like this or happen to have any suggestions?
Thanks
