CPE-210 Pair as AP & Client - Help With the Numbers
Model :
Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I’ve posted the numbers from the status pages along with the Tx and Rx rates from Pharos Control for my two CPE-210 units that I have in AP and Client mode connecting my shop with my home network. Since my networking knowledge is limited I have a few questions regarding them if anyone has the time and patience to look over them:
1) Do the settings and numbers look OK? I’ve tried to go through a bunch of posts on the board to figure out in general the best settings (such as lowering the Transmit Power due to the distance) but thought I’d check and see if anything is amiss according to those with more knowledge.
2) In looking at the Tx and Rx rates for the two, you can see they are inversed measurements. Why would the Tx rate be so low for the AP as compared to the Client? In real world testing with a computer from the shop I am able to get about 36 Mb download speed from the internet which matches my home network, so this seems odd that the Tx from the AP is showing so much lower than the Client.
3) While, from what I’ve read, I think it’s perfectly adequate for this application, I was wondering if the S/N Ratio proper for two units so close? Could more be achieved by better aiming, etc.? Both units are LOS at a distance of about 75 feet or 23 meters and are about 10 to 12 feet off of the ground. The path goes between about a 15 ft. space between some very large shrubs.
4) If any other settings or numbers look off, feel free to point them out. And, thanks for any help!

Re:CPE-210 Pair as AP & Client - Help With the Numbers
danymarc,
Not sure what you mean by doubt. Are you questioning whether or not I'm getting that speed through the link? If so, here's the result from a speed test I did yesterday.
I guess if I'm getting that kind of speed from the link it's OK. I'm still learning, that's why I posted the numbers, to see if I had the settings correct for the application. Thanks for your input. Actually it was one of your previous posts that I learned from when I was setting this up. I had the same problem that someone else was having where they were only getting 10 Mbps - FD on one of the CPE-210's and you suggested to try different cables. I did that and it went up to where the other one was, 100 Mbps - FD. So, thanks for that also.

@molimelight
yes, my question was about if you got the hired speed to your ISP (internet service provider)
for what I read and understand your answer is YES, so the link is fine
my hired speed from ISP is 10 Mb. and that is what I get on Client side
I dont use Pharos Control, no need for 2 devices, I see you use it, should enable a daily weekly or monthly reboot of your units
you are in the congested 2.4 Ghz freq.
if those screens dont answer your question ask for the ones you need
at that distance should be no problem, with a bad aligment they should still work
this is a issue the antennas are MIMO thay work horizontal & Vertical meaning the horizontal path is blocked, you can see that in the graph, goes up and down
