Re: how can I add speed to the wireless network?
each WDS hop will halve the WiFi speed. But the WiFi speed should be far faster than your 3Mbps ISP speed. The WiFi speed can be poor if you have a weak signal in EITHER direction.
Example: If every WiFi link has an ideal signal strength and NO interference or competition from nearby WiFi on or nearly on the same channel, with 11g, you should see 22Mbps net yield. Half of that for 1 WDS hop. If 2 hops, 1/4, or 5Mbps.
If instead, your WiFi signal strength is not ideal, and/or there is reduced throughput due to competition for airtime among nearby WiFi, speeds will come down a lot.
What ping times are reported in your speed tests via WDS? Make many tests and at the evening busy hours. |
