Does your test graduate bandwidth usage or something? Keep it simple. Just do something simple like: $ ssh <host> cat /dev/zero | dd of=/dev/null bs=1M count=100 on a node that is connected via the wlan and <host> is a node on the lan port of the WAP. > It might not be a fair comparison, but with DD-WRT, I'm getting 18 > Mbit/s and OpenWRT (b43), I get 14Mbit/s. Both of those seem pretty low. What does the Linksys or Tomato firmware yield? > I'm using gkrellm and > watching the network graph. Why be so complicated? Just start a top on the WAP before you start your bandwidth test (the above dd will give you a final throughput measurement with any modern dd) and watch softirq and you tax the wireless. b.
