only 176/176 data rate with AP3865 WDS

Ronald_Dvorak — Tue, 26 May 2015 18:56:00 GMT

Hi, we just prepare the installation of a WDS link with model AP3865 on both sites with 2x AO-5D23009N-5GHz-23dBi-9degree antenna per AP.

I've configured the APs for 80MHz, ac-strict, 3dbm tx power.

The APs are right now in the lab (in the same room) but we only get a data rate of 176/176.
We are running latest code on the controller.

Any idea... we thought that with 2 antennas per AP (instaed of 3) we'd reach MCS#9 - 2x2x2, NGI, VHT80 = 780mbs.

Here a screenshot of the report - it's the second WDS link....

Ron,

I would contact the GTAC and open a ticket so we can assist you further. We will need to review the current configuration and radio settings.

Thanks,
Doug

Ticket open 01125555.

I've tried it now also in my lab with AP3825e (as I don't have AP3865 in my test enviroment) and get the same result.

Even with a 3rd antenna the value is the same - might be a error on the statistics view.

Thanks Ron, we will take a look.

workaround = use left/middle antenna if only 2 antennas are connected to get a data rate of 780/780

Interesting, I was just going to send you a case update asking which ports you had the antenna connected to. The TS showed Left, Right, Middle....

Same issue - how can i tune up performance or troubleshoot that ? We uses V9.15.08 and AP 3715 (pre Test in a lab scenario).

Matthias,

You would need to provide more info on the design, the above issue was resolved by changing the antenna diversity on a specific ap model. The speed may be limited based on the antenna types or settings used. I would suggest if you are seeing an issue, you contact the GTAC for further assistance.

Hi Doug, please have a look at GTAC case 01146766!

I took a look at the ticket, you will want to increase your TCP window size (use the max) and send multiple streams to get an average (start with 4 at once). I will update the ticket as well...
