<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks to everyones help, i have 2 Hostaps working,
playing with WDS it acually works!! And even how i expected it to...
My question is about the bandwidth available over a WDS link...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here is what i have found...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>AP-A is connected to the wired network,
Command-line ftp to a host local to the net (but on the other side of a router)
i get download speeds of 800 to 900Kb/sec... This is "normal" on this
network across the router...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>AP-B is WDS linked to AP-A (not wired to
anything) Comand-line ftp to the same host (just one more hop from AP-A to
AP-B), i get download speeds of 80 to 100Kb/sec!!! 10%
of the available speed!!! A client computer associated to AP-B gets
60 to 80 Kb/sec, which is believable (and acceptable) compared to AP-B speed,
but not, of course, compared to AP-A</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is the speed cut that bad?? is it, perhaps, the cpu
on AP-B being an old Pentium 1 (p90) causing the slowdown? even at
half-duplex i would think i would get 400 to 500Kb/sec on AP-B...
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyone care to comment on this situation, as i dont
know where to go from here??!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>THanks everyone for your help and patience and
knowledge I appreciate it...</FONT></DIV>
