Hi Gomathy, If you are pumping data to the AP from a PC, make sure that the AP and the PC are on a single 100Mb/s Ethernet switch (not a hub, especially not a 10Mb/s hub). You should then be able to use FTP to overload the network - setup an FTP server on your server PC (the one connected to the AP via the switch) and use an FTP client on your laptop to transfer files. Make sure to transfer large files (> 20 MB) so that the transfer runs for a long time. You could also use a simple command-line software like pcattcp (http://www.pcausa.com/Utilities/pcattcp.htm) to generate network traffic. Either of these methods will give you the necessary network load. Regards, Harshal ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ---------------------~--> Yahoo!
