I hadn’t messed around much till recently for serious wireless links with routerboards. The 532’s weren’t super fast for backhaul use and weren’t fcc approved, so I’ve held off on them. Now we have the approved 433 which is so much faster, it’s getting interesting and useful.
I know the 433 can do very good speeds and PPS across ethernet. What can it do with wireless? (20 or 40 mhz channel, nstreme1, 1 radio card.) I’ve got a link with CM9 cards that did 50+ mbit with a -79 signal and 40mhz, and now it’s set for better alignment, gets a -70 signal uses 20mhz, and has 99-100% ccq on a 3 mile link. It speedtested between the two 433’s at 35mbit at the -79 signal.
Right now, I am using about 10-15mbit over the link pretty constantly and 2500-3500pps with single digit ping times and no packet loss.
I am wondering how much further I can push it? I know I can get to about 30mbit probably for speed, or more if I switch back to 40mhz channels, but how about PPS? Anyone pushing the 433 hard for big wireless PPS numbers on a point-to-point backhaul?
