802.11n and Indoor Mesh
I was just sitting here reflecting on 802.11 indoor mesh networks. The main problem with using mesh nodes (those APs that are connected to the network wirelessly) is the degraded throughput for client stations. When stations transmit to the mesh node, it has to repeat the traffic to its upstream mesh node. This continues until the traffic arrives at the mesh portal - an AP connected to the wired infrastruture.
