I`m running 2 pc routers.First P4-1.4 256 drr 333 v 2.8.28 second p2-233 32 mb sdram v. 2.8.26 with cm9 65 mW cards.I have real 36.6 Mbps bandwitch but after few hours speed is only 20 mbps Why?
sorry for frong section, i can`t find post delete option....
We did all our wireless bandwidth tests with 2.9RC9.
On the 600MHz platform, you can get 65Mbps through a bridge.
2.9 (release) does work, I have it on my AP now at home, and it's very nice - but haven't had time to do bandwidth tests between routers yet. We'll be doing that soon.
Hi there,
Just now most of our 600MHz+ boxes are "out" and our lab gear "in a state of flux". As soon as I get a chance to configure a fast P2P pair I'll post up results.
Also, we have setup a test network to invite "selected guests" (potential or existing customers) access via VNC to see the performance of our boxes via the net. Let me know if you're interested -
speculation : could this higher performance be due to PROPERLY WORKING hardware compression of atheros cards? We all know that bandwidth test uses compressible data, at least to some extent.
somebody from mikrotik wants to shred some light here?
You might be right on some routers, however:
The "better performance" I reported above was with compression "off", bandwidth-test traffic (which doesn't compress I notice) and the CPU was limiting.
i.e. the improvement I reported is due to better coding of the "new nstreme" not other factors - IMHO
i have done the upgrade of the firmware and routerOS but i now realised that the routerboards hangs during bootup, and when i removed the RouterBouard 71 from the PCI slot of the R230, the routeboard boots successfully. i ready through the manual,and i could deduced that one should disable "pci-backoff" should in case this kind of problem is occurs.
i have tried everything i could. Can anybody be of help
