Low Mesh channel speed

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi,

I have a speed problem with my mesh setup.

The mesh chanel show very low speed rates (6 Mbit/s)

mesh1
mesh11001×117 7.75 KB

mesh2
mesh2978×105 7.98 KB

It seems that, despite supporting higher speeds, the connection is limited to 6 Mbit/s

and this is a iperf3 test between the two routers

Is there something in the setup that I am missing?

How would we know? You have not told us anything about your mesh setup.....

You could try some background reading:

This is the mesh interface

The problem is that the TX rate in the "master" and the RX rate in the "client" are set to 6.0 MBit/s. ¿How can I change this?

Show the output of:
iw dev phy1-mesh0 scan | grep -B 35 "MESH ID:" | grep "signal"

This should list the signal strengths of any mesh nodes within range.

signal: -48.00 dBm
