G-Turbo Performance

Mon Feb 21, 2005 12:32 am

Is anyone out there successfully using G-Turbo? How fast have you had it go? What sort of an impact on signal strength has changing to 40mhz channels had? Half the power literally? Any issues we should know about before spending two hours on a Sunday trying to make it work?

Hi Jon,

Have only tried it indoors not outdoors
- it works
- gobbles up a lot of CPU power if you run it full speed (can your CPU handle that?)
- more prone to interference (e.g. in our office, with wireless LAN) so I wouldn't use it in an urban area
- be careful what RouterOS version you are using, I vaguely remember problems reported a few months back that are fixed now.

and sorry, I didn't use it long enough to note the signal strength difference

Regards
