WDS very slow, PLEASE help !!
Region : Argentina
Model : TL-WA901ND
Hardware Version : V3
Firmware Version : 3.14.8 Build 130828 Rel.63678n

Hello,
my situation is as follows:
The wired internet connection is going to building A, it gets into a wireless router ZyXEL NBG-419N.
I am situated in building B, which is about 60 meters away from building A. I wanted to improve my
internet reception signal, as there has been a signal with usable strength only close to the windows.
So yesterday I bought a TP-LINK TL-WA901ND access point, in order to use it as a repeater.
I have put it close to a window and I went through the configuration. Everything is working, but the
speed is rather potatic. Measured on speedtest.net, I could best reach about 5 Mbit/s. When I ping
the ZyXEL router, 10-12 pings are going through, then 4-5 are timing out, then again 10-12 go through...
Sometimes it gets better for a short period of time, sometimes it gets also worse...
I have been googling about what to do - I set 20 MHz channel width on both routers, but there was
very little benefit from this. I don't think, that the connection between the two routers is bad, because
if I put a laptop at the window, where the router is, the connection is very fast, I am getting about 20
Mbit/s!! I also tried changing the channels between 1, 6 and 11, but still no significant improvement.
PLEASE help me and advise what I could try, in order to improve the situation...
Many thanks!
