i installed a link for maximum of 5 kms
rb112 boards , 2.9.38 mik
wireles cards are EMP8602
band used 5 ghz
signal level is -48
abd bandwith test show maximum of 768 uplink and
4 mbps downlink , i expected really more
I Am using Ap bridge / station wds , will Ap bridge / Station ( cz all traffic will be ip ) ensure more bandwith and performance of the rb112 , is ip routing less hardware hungry then wds ?
well i putted in same location 2 patchs 23 db , and i discovered the problem
the grid antenas needs to change polarity
i fixed now , the 2 patchs together give -48 signal , throughput is 13 MBps
and from a side patch and other side a grid the signal is -61 but also the throughput is 12 mbps , i will make both sides Grids i beleive i will reach 17 Mbps
i am getting on tcp maximum throughput 9.1 mbps without nstreme
and 8 mbps with nstreme i tried all 5ghz channel , the best was on 5ghz-10 mhz , channel 5790 ,
could be the rb112 cannot pass more than this bandwith with wds ?
Yep! Take 2 x 532 with 4 x CM9 cards, set it up for N-stream dual and check it out for you self! I also don’t now why RSTP increase performance! In theory I agree with you!
Check out the specs for that test as on that link placed by Uldis!
Compare routing to bridging on both software versions!
it is nothing to do with the RSTP, we only had that package enabled - we didn’t use protocol-mode=rstp. Anyway, we will have rstp package integrated in the system package in one of the beta versions.
And you will not get the same speed with nstreme in v2.9 even if you enable the rstp package.
In theory this should mean that RB532 should perform even better with Beta5.. Do you have any tests showing this? I personally have done 40Mbit/s UDP / 26Mbit/s TCP 5G Turbo in real life environment (6km) on RB532A
