Hello,
For a friend i setup a small RAID-1 config using Wheezy on one of his
old machines, just to backup his most important stuff. Unfortunately the
location where the box is placed can not be reached via cable because of
building conditions, so only Wireless is possible.
I have installed package "firmware-ralink" for the network card and
these modules are loaded after reboot:
rt2800pci
rt2800lib
rt2x00pci
After using wpa_passphrase and adding wlan0 to /etc/network/interfaces
all works so far, the client get´s an ip from the dhcp server, can copy
stuff and so on.
The Problem is that it´s extremely slow.
The WLAN-Router is setup to support 11bgn mixed mode, channel bandwith
"audo" and max transfer rate 150Mbit/s.
But when i check the client side with iwconfig i get this:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"My friends SSID"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point:MAC-Adress
Bit Rate=58.5 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=45/70 Signal level=-65 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:5788 Invalid misc:58 Missed beacon:0
The wlan-card is supposed to support 150Mbit/s as well.
I have tested and position the box right next to the wlan-Router but
this doesn´t help much except the Link Quality is then 70/70.
I have used iptraf to check for the data rates and the overall input
rate for this interface is about 5,8 Mbit/s which is not even 5% of the
max (theoretical) speed. I know that the max speed of a WLAN is never
reached but 5,8 Mbit/s overall speed seems very slow to me - no?
Anything i can do to speed this up?
Thanks,
BF.
