Hello All, At the wireless mesh setup in HBCSE, the download speed was very slow, max. 1 to 1.2 Mbps for a single user. How can this speed be optimized so that when we setup meshes all over Mumbai, we get decent speeds with multiple users.
I was recollecting the day we were carrying out these experiments of downloading distros (CD ISOs). I remember, you started downloading it on your laptop (with Sabayon) when the signal strength was quite good.
When I started, the signal strength was good, but not better than yours. (indicated by Windows XP's network monitor tool). As soon as I started the download, our speeds were almost divided into two halves, and I got nearly 700 Kbits/ sec.
As suggested by Nagarjuna Sir, we need to carry out benchmark reports and suggest / find out improvements.
Secondly, since this is a wireless mesh, a torrent client may prove a better client for downloading stuff instead of browsers. A better distributed system.
