Re: Good board/router for testing TDMA?

[Goo Gle]

Hi Adrian,

Oh I see. Thank you.

I guess I'll see if I can find cheaper x86 boards. Otherwise, I'll go with
the previously recommended PC Engines boards.

Thank you for all the help!

Hi,

No, the single chip wifi SoCs aren't AR9280. It skipped those.

Re: Good board/router for testing TDMA?

[Goo Gle]

Hi Adrian,

Oh, I see. I'll look for some Intel based board with mPCIe. Maybe the
Minnowboard Turbot, Up Squared or the AMD based PC Engines boards Ruben
mentioned (thank you!).

Since I'm still researching, I'd still like to continue searching for a
single SoC solution as well. Do you know of any SoCs that're AR9280 based?

Thank you!

Re: Good board/router for testing TDMA?

[Adrian Chadd]

Hi,

I recommend experimenting with some intel CPU thing with mini-pcie and
a mini-pcie AR9280.

AR9331 is AR9380 based, so it won't work righ tnow, sorry!

Re: Good board/router for testing TDMA?

[Goo Gle]

Hi Adrian,

Thank you for the advice! Do you know of any boards that use the AR9280 or
is it recommended to find a supported host board and install an AR9280
mPCIe card into it?

I found the following pages:
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-wifi-build/wiki/Carambola2
http://shop.8devices.com/wifi4things/carambola2-DVK

This board seems to be supported and can be purchased. However, it only
supports the 2.4 GHz band. Other than that, it seems great:
- Single AR9331 SoC that can run FreeBSD with built-in Wi-Fi.
- GPIO since I hope to control some switches from the board as well.

Do you have experience with this board or do you know of anything similar
that also supports 5 GHz?

Thank you,
Alana

hi!

For now, stick with AR9280 devices. AR9380 and later doesn't work well
due to chip design :(

Re: Good board/router for testing TDMA?

[Ruben]

Hi Alana,


I Guess you could always get yourself a pc-engines board and plug in
exactly those adapters you and FreeBSD feel comfortable with.


I don't know if they satisfy your budget-criteria (or what they
realistically might be for long-distance Wi-Fi links), but Pc-engines
boards have good FreeBSD support.

Aren't you looking for Ad-hoc connection

and directional antennas?

You might want to opt for Atheros

Good board/router for testing TDMA?

[Goo Gle]

Hello,

I'd like to test some long distance Wi-Fi links (a few kilometers) and
heard that FreeBSD has built-in support for TDMA which enables these types
of links. I'm admittedly new to FreeBSD and would like to know what's a
good board/router that's well supported by FreeBSD. Something relatively
cheap and supports at least 802.11n (both 2.4 and 5 GHz) would be great!
I'm based in USA if it affects availability.

Thank you,
Alana
