Dear All,
I run OpenWrt (whiterussian) on my WRT54GL v1.1. For some experiments I want to set the physical rate to a fixed value, e.g., always use 54 Mbps and do switch to lower rates. How can I do that?
Additionally, I want to experiment a little bit with the number or retransmissions that are performed at the link layer. Normally, this can be set by
iwconfig device retry N
However, this doesn't seem to work.
Best Regards,
Ingo
check 'wl0_rate' in the documentation; http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtNVRAM
Set it in nvram and do a 'wifi' command to have the setting conveyed to the radio driver.
This thread b.t.w. is for kamikaze where it is done differently.
Alternatively you may load the proprietary wl package and do a 'wl rate n' command
The discussion might have continued from here.
