I restored an old bridge with two fonera 2200, firmware build 21061.
The first fonera is set on WDS AP and the wds table empty
The second fonera is set on WDS sta and the wds table empty

The bridge work but there are many errors on the WDS AP in trasmission, why? Shocked

thanks for reply

yes, I see packet loss. I can not change channels in my area because it's the channel with the best signal (SNR about 20 dBi)

With WDS AP/WDS STA I get about 85/90% of errors in transmission from the WDS AP

Until now I used the configuration Ap /client bridge, the link works without errors but does not work all the network protocols. I also find constantly connections and disconnections from the new router connected to ap (SerComm SHG1500 aka vodafone station 2)

I have wds-ap/wds-sta and it is working very good, with no errors(15+days). I read somewhere that tx/rx errors in transparent bridge, is related with ACK and wireless mode.
Did you tried "NG mixed" with ACK eg 450 od 900?

Fonera is only b/g, not N.
The bridge is set on BG- mixed and ack time 2500 (brdge is about 1250 m)

then try to disable ACK (0).
Enable rts/cts and try lowering treshold (will reduce throughput). Try only b also...

I think you're right. I can ignore errors because bridge works fine
