Hi, We're about to setup a 802.11s mesh network routed by B.A.T.M.A.N adv. Although I closely followed the guidance of this blog post as well as the OpenWrt forum currently our network is barley usable. What we see is that the speed goes from high rates of 200-300 Mbit/s down to the (presumably) m…

Dear Carlos, Regarding all you other ideas - I will try them out and feedback here as soon as possible.

Update on my plan to go from 80 Mhz channel width to 40 Mhz: Did it - no change in the described behaviour. Speed is still dropping as you can see the in iperf3 tests which ran already on 40 Mhz channel width.

LibrrMesh is an enhancement to OpenWRT for easy mesh network deployment It automatically configure your device at first boot as a community mesh network. You alter its behavior by modifying the lime-defaults or with UCI commands or directly editing the openwrt configuration files. LIbreMesh also …

[image] samba2: Question: Can a far away/ weak link slow down a mesh? Yes. The first thing you should do is try turning up transmit power to the MAXIMUM on everything. If you can achieve at least -60db/-50db RSSI you may not have to move the nodes closer together. Higher transmit power = h…

Wow. A lot of good advice. Will try it out this evening.

I had time to run a few tests today and try to replicate the issues you've been experiencing with the Archer C7. Unfortunately, I was unable to replicate your issue. Even behind three 15cm-thick walls, with the nodes roughly 15m apart of each other and connected over 5Ghz, I was still able to get …

your batctl -s should be batctl s @cgomesu have you successfully used BATMAN-adv bonding or BATMAN-adv over Ethernet ?

thanks for the correction! I have never played too much with any of the multilink optimizations because the default behavior is almost always enough for my use-cases. Why are you asking? Regarding batman over wired connections, I've never used that before but I don't see any reason why it shoul…

The batman-adv bonding yielded no performance gain on my last tests. As for batman-adv over Ethernet........ What I did last time [image] [SOLVED] Batman-adv over Ethernet Network and Wireless Configuration Hi all, I am working towards a mesh network over Ethernet (and…

The use cases for wired mesh are very limited but I'll gladly test it with the Archers C7 I have here and their standard OpenWrt images. However, as you might have noticed, this topic is unrelated to @samba2 's issue, so I don't think it would be appropriate to talk about it here. If you want help…

Mesh network - bad performance

The batman-adv bonding yielded no performance gain on my last tests.

As for batman-adv over Ethernet........

What I did last time

I also took discussion on github with the LIbreMesh developers

Further the Gluon documents also refer to it
