  • 1.  AP310 profile setup

    Posted 02-16-2022 07:52
    Hi all
    I would like you advice reagarding creating a new profile for an AP310i/e (mostly AP310i).
    I have created a very simple profile with only 1 AP at the moment, and i am testing only the 2.4Ghz band, but i think the throughput is slow, and it is geting even slower when moving away from the AP (i know it should do that) but the signal strenght is still full on the device.

    I cannot get a speedtest higher then 90/90.
    When moving away (10 meter) it drops to 50/50 and still full signal strength on laptop and smartphone.
    When moving away (20 meter in another room) 20/20 and still full signal strength on laptop and smartphone.
    No other AP are causing issues.
    No other SSID on the device.
    It is freash from the box, fully updated and managede from a VX9000.

    I have posted my configuration for the AP in hope that some here can se what might be the problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Robert,

    There can be plenty of reasons why it stays at 90/90 at most.
    What is the testing procedure?
    What is the device you're testing with?
    What other devices in vicinity use the same or close-by channels from 2.4 GHz band (you can look it up with e.g. free Netspot version)?

    This will help to drill in a bit.
    As a rule of thumb, 2.4 GHz should be considered best effort. MU-MIMO should be disabled. One thing that might help is increasing the minimum basic rate but it's just one thing.

    Please remember, datarate is not throughput. With 1 on 1 testing you can get something like 60-75% of datarate as your throughput, depends on 11n/ac/ax PHY and assuming no significant interferences in place. With more devices on same channel (not just same AP radio) you should expect something closer to 45% of datarate as average channel user throughput.

    Lots of Devin but I'm a big fan of these three articles.

    Hope that helps,

    - Add the best practices firewall to your configuration: WiNG Best Practice Firewall Settings

    - Make sure that the correct 2.4 GHz radio channels are configured:
    >en
#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
#smart-rf-policy default
#channel-list 2.4GHz 1,6,11
#com wr
Please Wait .
[OK]​

    -Disable b data rates on the 2.4 GHz radio and only use gn:
    >en
#config t
#profile ap310 RWL-Test
#int radio 1
#data-rates gn
#com wr
Please Wait .
[OK]​
