[Battlemesh] [OpenWrt-Users] Batman-adv high TQ and Low throughput

[cmsv]

Hello Ben

Last night i decreased all the network access points  to 17 dBm thinking
if my problem is due too much noise from co-existent channels from same
network nodes and unless i my conclusion is wrong i do not think the
Ap's cause problems to each other because after the decrease in txpower;
not only batman-adv TQ got lower as well as dBm and throughput. In other
words there was no improvement and this is not the first time i try the
sort of test.

Today i reverted to normal higher values and things improved but still
far from whet they were when the nodes were upgraded.

I will describe the situation i have with 2 of the 3 access points.
They all run ath9k on one radio with vap interfaces.



AP (A) uses a 15 dbi omni Atheros AR9132 rev 2
AP (B) uses a 8 dbi omni Atheros AR7240 rev 2

Distance from each other is about 100 metres.
Right now AP A is at 20 dbm and AP B at 19 dBm
