[Olsr-users] Anyone with verified 802.11n HT speeds on Ubiquiti M devices in adhoc/mesh mode?

[Markus Kittenberger]

hmm 45mbit is defintely above 802.11a throughput
therefore great! to hear this,..

but a single chain can easily do this,..
(so i wouldn`t be too sure about having both chains working,..)
