[MVMA] What is going on "under the hood": AREDN RF MCSs

How to see your node's SNR and current Modulation Code Scheme:

Windoze users:

You will need a 3rd party secure shell application as
Windoze does not provide.
I recommend:https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html
  get 'putty.exe'

Place putty.exe in your user's default working directory.
  
Using putty.exe from command prompt:
  
  
Obtain the node's LAN address at
http://localnode:8080  or
'http://[node-name].local.mesh:8080/cgi-bin/status'
Copy(1) the Node's LAN address
Click the Windoze icon on the bottom left of your desktop
enter "cmd"
type "putty root@", then paste your LAN address, then type ":2222",
then press the 'enter' key.
Enter the password for root as prompted.
  
  
Enter "while true; do iw wlan0 station dump; sleep 30; done"
  You may wish to copy and paste the above instead of typing the line.
  
When you are done watching your node's connection stats loop,
press Control+C to exit the loop.
  
Enter "exit" to terminate the terminal connection to the node.
  
(1) Windoze 101: I assume you know how to 'click and drag', 'copy and
paste',...

More_node_stats which include results of alternate MCS attempts:
  
*ssh into a node If this node links with only 1 other node: Enter "while 
true; do cat /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/netdev\:wlan0/stations/" 
Press 'tab' key. Enter "rc_stats;sleep 30;done" If your node links with 
more than one other node 'tab' will be replaced with the MAC of the 
other node. Example: while true; do cat 
/sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/netdev\:wlan0/stations/68:72:51:84:96:53/rc_stats;sleep 
30; done *
