Hi
We are using batman-adv 2011.2.0 with Openwrt Backfire-rc6 on D-Link
Dir-615 routers (2 Antennas, 1 single radio), each router with an adhoc
interface managed by batman-adv for the mesh network and an Acces Point
interface bridged with bat0 and ethernet to allow non batman-adv clients
to connect. The problem is that sometimes all works fine, but sometimes
we get very poor bitrates between routers, even using just two routers,
testing with iperf. We don't know where the problem is, specially
because it's a very erratic behavior. If any of you have used this
configuration with openwrt and ath9k driver we'd really appreciate some
help.
By the way, the D-Link Dir-615 is an n router, but for some reason
related with hostapd the ap vif gets configured in g mode, and the adhoc
in n mode, no matter what we set in the uci files. So in case the
problem were related with the adhoc and ap virtual interface, we were
thinking about the possibility of setting the mesh network without using
adhoc mode. In that case each router should have one ap for non
batman-adv clients, and two additional interfaces, one in ap and the
other managed, these two used to connect with other routers via
batman-adv, would that be correct? In that case, you think this
configuration could be more or less stable than the other using adhoc
mode? Thanks in advance!
