Re: [OpenWrt-Devel] QCA9994 outdoor 13km link
Hi, In the beginning i was using 2 dishes on each side. They are ubiquiti 2x2 dual polarized dishes and i connected the chains of station in the same way as AP and i still had issues. After that i thought the problem might be because this card uses mimo multipath and AP ch0 should talk with station ch 0 1 2 3. With 2x2 dishes that's not possible because DISH 1 CH0 -H CH1 -V CH2 -H CH3 -V The station pigtails were connected in the same way as AP. In this configuration AP ch0 whish is Horizontal can talk only with station ch0 and ch2. So i decided to go with Jiroues single polarity dishes on each side. You think that single polarity might be the problem but why it doesn't cause problems in routers when there are 4 omni antennas and still you can get datarates 866Mbps by phone(my phone is 2x2). The testing distance now is 5km but the distance where they will be installed is 13km. We also have dozens of ubiquiti and mikrotik links and 13km it's not a big deal. Today also i noticed something strange. The AP was openwrt and station was ddwrt and i got 433/866 and after changing the station to openwrt the datarates got worse. Ddwrt wasn't good either. It had datarates problem. Can it be something wrong with firmware antenna configuration? Why it shows only two antennas iw phy phy0 info?

I have 2 devices, both 2x2 802.11n, HT40 SGI, which are only 150m apart, all chains V polarized. When running speedtests, inspecting ath9k rate control shows it is stuck at the max speed for 1 chain (iso 2) In my case it means the absolute link rate is 130Mbit iso 270 in this configuration. I can imagine using 4 chains will even reduce performance a lot more. You should really try to use use H + V+ (-45) + (+45). Also, ensure radio's at both sides have the chains on identical polarization. (Chain0 - V, Chain1 - H, ..)

Compare good vs bad situations to see what is the difference. That way someone who has actually tried this sort of thing might be able to offer suggestions.

Hi Ben, When do you think you might be able to make those changes to your driver? Thanks, Klevis.

Hi Ben, When do you think you can port those changes to your firmware? Thank you for your support. Klevis.

Re: [OpenWrt-Devel] QCA9994 outdoor 13km link
Hi Vincent, I have tried short distance with ddwrt and i get 1733/1733 datarates and about 1Gbps real traffic using iperf. Ubiquiti and MikroTik have 80MHz outdoor radios and they work good. I don't want to use 160MHz which is very wide and there are lot of 20MHz channels within that will create interferences. Actually i want to benefit from VHT-NSS4 so at 80MHz channel i will get 1560Mbps. Ben Greear also thinks that is something wrong with ACK timing.From: Vincent Wiemann Sent: Friday, 20 September 2019, 21:56 To: supp...@maxnet.al; openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org Subject: Re: [OpenWrt-Devel] QCA9994 outdoor 13km link Hi Klevis, have you tried it with a short distance?
