If the access points are very close together, you might also try turning down TX power on both ends. What is the dBm reported by iw station dump at each end? Anything below 60dBm might indicate the radios are talking way too loud. On Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 7:09 PM, Ray Gibson rgib...@futurec.net

It if helps to have comparison, I'm running Backfire 10.03.1 on a collection of UBNT M5 2x2 MIMO gear in adhoc mode at HT speeds. Some quick-n-dirty tests doing downloads with curl are getting roughly 40Mbit/s between adjacent nodes. Although, I'm using adhoc mode instead of mesh mode. Here is
