Lower Ping than 4-5 ms?

Hi everybody,

is it possible to bring down the Ping-Time under 4 ms?

We are using two RB100s with AR5213 in PTP-Mode with WDS.
4-5 ms is not much but now we must use one or two additional WLANs Lines to connect another base. And that means twice ore thre times 4-5ms…

so what? it’s just a number …

you want to lower the number, or fix some issue that you are having?

@fux
My first guess you are using nstreme feature?

You cannot get 1ms with that as far as I know in the world :stuck_out_tongue:


Hello Fux…
I am very very interesting about your pinging result action not more than …4-5ms

This’s one of my ap [xxxxx@apo] with omni 15 dbi, one sample connect to station [xxxxx@vpadi] around 4,5km NLOS [mount and forest condition], here many interferences.
I think, that result at the bottom is ‘good’ quality, before i tried with wds but poor in pinging and speed, and i am so sorry, that ‘sensitive value’, i edited with ‘xx’.

My question: can you give me litle methode, how to make much better than it screen result…?
