Pedro, There is no standard for WDS so every vendor implements their own version. So the performance of WDS is very dependant on how it is implemented. Without knowing more details like what was the physical rate being used, whether the WDS channel was the same or different than the WLAN channel, what was the interference on the WDS channel and whether the packets were being sent as multicast or as unicast packets it is very difficult to know what caused the performance drop. You could try changing the channel for WDS or modifying some of the other parameters to see if that makes a difference. > In case it has... which mode to use un a point-to-point link ? Their website also lists 'bridge' and 'repeater' modes. Have you tried these? Regards, - Harshal ------------------------ Yahoo!
