As a backbone network, wireless mesh network (WMN) aims to provide reliable high throughput network connectivity to wireless users. Recent research has focused on routing and channel allocation to increase the capacity of wireless mesh backbones. Wireless mesh networking is an attractive solution for home, community, and enterprise networks as it is a self-configuring, instantly deployable, and lowcost networking system. In this paper, we empirically evaluate and analyze charateristic of WMN to establish WMN testbed by measurement. We use laptops and net4826 Soekris board widely used. Soekris boards are equipped with one network interface card (NIC) or above in our measurements. We also use paket generator, routing demon tools and so on. Throughout this measurements, we show limitation of Soekris board and software we use, and suggest guideline to establish WMN.
