Yes, each hop halves the throughput:
Here's an example:
-
20MHz channels
-
Android(Nexus 6P) connected on 5GHz
-
UAP-AC-M
Hardwired:
[ 5] 0.00-20.05 sec 272 MBytes 114 Mbits/sec sender
[ 5] 0.00-20.05 sec 271 MBytes 113 Mbits/sec
receiver
First hop:
[ 5] 0.00-20.22 sec 122 MBytes 50.7 Mbits/sec sender
[ 5] 0.00-20.22 sec 122 MBytes 50.6 Mbits/sec
receiver
Second hop:
[ 5] 0.00-20.24 sec 66.2 MBytes 27.4 Mbits/sec sender
[ 5] 0.00-20.24 sec 66.2 MBytes 27.4 Mbits/sec
receiver
So when designing your network, can just plan on about that for service/etc.
Hardwire as needed to maintain service level planned.
Also keep in mind this is when station is connected on 5GHz. You can
always disable 5GHz service to stations, and use it for Mesh backhaul only,
so:
5GHz: dedicated uplink for mesh.
2.4GHz: station service.
This will increase performance.
Cheers,
Brandon
