My Hardeware:
Mikrotik Router Version 2.8.26 with Atheros miniPci Card Atheros AR5212 PCI as AP
D-Link DWL 900AP+ as Client
The Atheros Card is with these values Configured
name="wlan1-ppp" mtu=1500 mac-address=00:0B:6B:33:65:D6 arp=enabled
disable-running-check=no interface-type=Atheros AR5213
radio-name="000B6B3365D6" mode=ap-bridge ssid="tanisien" frequency=2437
band=2.4ghz-b scan-list=default-ism rate-set=configured
supported-rates-b=1Mbps,2Mbps,5.5Mbps,11Mbps supported-rates-a/g=""
basic-rates-b=1Mbps basic-rates-a/g="" max-station-count=20
ack-timeout=dynamic tx-power=default noise-floor-threshold=default

dfs-mode=none antenna-mode=ant-a wds-mode=disabled
wds-default-bridge=none wds-ignore-ssid=no
update-stats-interval=disabled default-authentication=yes
default-forwarding=yes hide-ssid=no 802.1x-mode=none
disconnect-timeout=3s on-fail-retry-time=100ms
and the D-Link is configured as Client
and the performence value ar set to default.
expect the Transfer Rate is set to 1-2-5,5-11 and the Antenne Mode to External antenne
The case is when no traffic goes over the Clinet the signal straingth is about -66 to -70 but when traffic caused by the user the signal straingth goes to -95 and sometimes the client disconnects and connects again
here a log file:
