Hello, I presented this problem a while back and it seems like it went nowhere. I have a couple of dual band 600 mbps routers based on ar71xx and I've set them up to use the tutorial here: http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/recipes/relayclient
I've tried setting up the bridge on 2.4 GHz and also on the 5 GHz bands but every time. In both instances, the bridge router connects to the main router at full 40 MHz bandwidth. I've enabled noscan option just to ensure proper 40 MHz connectivity. However, all WiFi clients (laptops, my smart tv, google tv player, etc. all of them being abgn + 40 MHz bandwidth capable), can connect only at 20MHz bandwidth to the bridge router. If these WiFi devices connect to the main router, they connect at full 40 MHz bandwidth. I have verified this placing the laptop and google tv player physically closer to the pseudobridge. LUCI also shows the devices connected to the bridge and their respective bandwidth is always 20MHz. LUCI also shows connection data rates always at or below 130mbps. When placed closer to the main router, these devices (laptop + google tv player) connect to it and the LUCI web admin status shows 40MHz bandwidth and connection rates in the 200+ mbps (peaking at 300 mbps limit). Apparently, devices with a max of data rate of 130mbps (when connected to the main router) get choked when their max data rate gets limited to 65mbps (by connecting to the pseudobridge) as a result of this problem. This has been tried and proven with 2.4 GHz alone and also at 5 GHz alone. I'm all out of ideas. I raised this ticket long ago: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/12720 I sent several emails regarding this as well to no avail: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg18850.html This is by far the only wrinkle I've faced in dealing with OpenWrt on my routers. Everything else so far has been spot on and rock solid (knock on wood). If anyone can share their thoughts or help narrow down the cause of this bug, it would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Chirag
