In this guide i show u how to adjust p2p or p2mp antenna systems with atheros based systems. There are many ways to check your connection. Some work out of the box. Others not ;-)

[edit] Site_survey

In the DD-WRT u can see the surrounding AP's with the site survey.This also works on the cli

site_survey

Note that surveys and Access Point mode are incompatible. The commands below disable AP mode for the survey and return it to what it was before

q=$(wl ap); wl ap 0; site_survey; wl ap $q

[edit] WiViz

This tool shows u all surrounding clients and ap's

[edit] athstats

athstats -h

shows u the traffic stats of all local interfaces

[edit] Antenna adjusting

if u want to adjust antenns which are far away or have small beams u need a tool which shows u the current level and snr every sec while u are adjusting the antenna.

while sleep 1; do wlanconfig athX list | grep "mac address of the other station" ; done
