I have two seperate wireless access points with two seperate freqencies of operation (one on 5.7ghz & one on 2.4ghz). I have this setup so each AP will only be sending data streams in one direction (instead of having both the IBM T43 & Media Center on the 2.4ghz specturm, and the AP having to effectively transmit the data twice).
Sending & receiving data across either wireless link to a centrally located file server results in 2.5MB's per second transfers. However, when I try to send/recieve data between the T43 & Media Center, the fastest transfers I can get are about 1.6MB's per second.
I've tried putting the Media Center and the two D-link AP's on a seperate subnet (192.168.1.xx), and running them thru ASL v6 that has two seperate subnets setup (which connects to the switch & to the File Server, WAG102, & T43 on 192.168.2.*** subnet ), but still, transfers are capped at ~1.6MB's per second between the T43 & Media Center.
I've tried adjusting the Beacon Interval on all the wireless equipment, making sure they're all set the same (tried 50, 75, 100, 125). The Fragment Length & RTS Threshold (length) are both set to 2346 on ALL wireless equipment. DTIM Interval is 1 on all equipment as well.
It seems as if the packets are not being repeated correctly by both sides when they reach the final Access Point (regardless of which direction they're going). So I'm guessing both AP's are having to break up each packet because it is too big and then transfer it in pieces, which might explain the drop in transfer rates.
Most importantly, if that is indeed what is happening, how would I go about fixing this? Would tweaking the Fragmentation Length or RTS Threshold help any?
