Throughput Problem

We are running a lot of BRI340(11Mbs 1/2 Duplx) wireless bridge links with multihops i.e repeater sites.We use the same unit all the way through.The two units at rptr site is connected with crossover utp >o.5m.Supposed Throughput is 4.5Mbs but testing with L7 tester(Q-check) throughput is halved with every repeater hop.why is this and can you get 4.5Mbs

no matter how many rptr.TX

Are the Bridges as the repeater site on the same channel/frequency? If you 2 bridges at each repeater site, connected with a cross over cable, and set to operate at different channels (use 1,6 or 11) and the antenna separated by several feet, you should be able to get full throughput. If you are using identical channels, or channels that with less than 5 channel separation, or have antenna located very close together, this can cause interference between the two bridges, reducing throughput.
