How to Test speed

Hi all,
I have 4 C54APT that comunnicate wirelessly and joins successfully 2
LANs in 2 different buildings.

The problem is that I get only 1 or 2 Mbps. Is there any tool that
tells me the signal strength in every segment.

Wired Lan -----> (wired) AP1 ~~~~> (wireless) AP2 ~~~~> (wireless) AP3
~~~~> (wireless) AP4 -----> (wired) Wired LAN

so there are 3 wireless segment I would like to know which one is
failing....

Thanks

Do they show up in a traceroute (tracert)? Unix traceroute allows you to
specify a packet length. That might point out where a jump in delay
occurs. Windows traceroute doesn't allow that, but longer packets in pings
to each access point might show something.

Here's the reply of a unix traceroute :

tracing from the Wired LAN (192.168.0.3) to the other wired LAN
(192.168.0.105) ....throught AP1 (192.168.0.101), AP1 (192.168.0.102),
AP3 (192.168.0.103), AP4 (192.168.0.104)

can you help me understand what can i do to detect wheree is going
slow and improve performance?

bash-2.05$ traceroute 192.168.0.105 30000
traceroute to 192.168.0.105 (192.168.0.105), 64 hops max, 30000 byte
packets
1 * 192.168.0.105 (192.168.0.105) 133.460 ms 167.882 ms
bash-2.05$


Thanks

Use TELNET :

WLAN Access Point wlan1 -> get station
