I’ve been running a long range ptp through a bunch of trees for a while now and I’ve been fighting every step of the way. Tonight, for the second time since I got my hardware and for the first time since it’s been mounted I tried running my sr9’s in rb411’s in 2.4ghz-b instead of 2ghz-10mhz or 2ghz-5mhz. The results are incredible. Even with a relatively weak link and a noise floor in the high -90’s I have suffered no drops and web pages are loading faster than they ever have before. I am getting a download speed of 3-4mbps and NO DROPS!!! What the hell?? I’ve been studying this stuff for over 6 months now and I never found a resource anywhere that suggested 2.4-b over 2ghz-5mhz or 10mhz. I also had no idea that sr9’s could allow me 4mbps downloads on the 2.4-b band. Is there any chance that I will be less affected by interference using b than when I used 5-10mhz?
The B is more robust over interference situations that others like G. Potentially you have minor real bw values than G, but B is much more stable and strong signal than others. Aditionally the B standard has a better throughput in nLOS environments (with different kinds of obstructions) that others standards. So, enjoy B !
