Hi all, I am encountering a periodic (each 1 second) Wi-Fi transmission speed drop (from 54Mbps to 6Mbps) during an iperf between two mesh portals. The speed stays stuck to 6Mbps during about 300ms and then recovers its 54Mbps rate. About 1 second later this happen again. The Wi-Fi speed drops from 54Mbps to 6Mbps without any intermediate speed nor frame loss. My channel is clear from any other Wi-Fi devices disturbances. My system is as follow : __ _ __ _ 192.168.2.41 [__]|=| Wireless devices [__]|=| 192.168.2.38 1c:75:08:0b:76:52 /::/|_| are close to each /::/|_| 08:00:27:6e:54:11 | other (about 15cm) ^ Ethernet| | Ethernet | |_|_| |_|_| | '---->[____°] [____°]-----' Mesh Portal Mesh Portal 90:A4:DE:21:4F:11 00:1B:B1:58:F6:DD Kernel : 2.6.33.7 Compat Wireless : 2012-06-14 Radio chipset : AR9160 (ath9k) Please find attached a wireshark wireless trace of the drop itself (between packets 6 and 7). Can you give me some clue how to work it out ?
