CronScript's Journal: Thibor HyperWRT 2.1b-201105 performance

I have just done some performance testing with this firmware running on Linksys WRT54GS v.3 hardware. I did discover that WDS mode at a minimum requires that you enter the master router MAC address into the remote router. Anyway, here are the results:

AP <-> WET

• Rate: 2.75 MB/sec

WDS <-> WDS

• Rate: 2.75 MB/sec
• with afterburner_override=1 Rate: 2.55 MB/s

MB = 1,000,000 bytes

This testing was done by monitoring the maximum data rate while tranfering a file in one direction across the link. I was somewhat surprised at the results with afterburner_override enabled, which is supposed to enable afterburner mode when using WDS. I'm curious to see if this is typical.
