1 On my Intel 5100 (iwlagn) laptop;
2 wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"virus.exe"
3 Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: xx:yy:zz:B3:2B:E9
4 Bit Rate=65 Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm
5 Link Quality=70/70 Signal level=-32 dBm

7 The TPLink WN951N (atheros AR5008, ath9k) AP has;

9 Wiphy phy0
10 Band 1:
11 HT capabilities: 0x104e
12 * 20/40 MHz operation
13 * SM PS disabled
14 * 40 MHz short GI
15 * max A-MSDU len 3839
16 * DSSS/CCK 40 MHz
17 HT A-MPDU factor: 0x0003 (65535 bytes)
18 HT A-MPDU density: 0x0006 (8 usec)

20 So i've configured hostapd.conf;
21 hw_mode=g
22 wme_enabled=1
23 ieee80211n=1
24 ht_capab=[SHORT-GI-40][DSSS_CCK-40]

26 Does my configuration look optimal? Is the 65Mb/s all i should expect
27 to get? I'm already on the least used channel (5 other APs in range).
