Thanks for linking to this. Quite frankly it's a very disappointing answer from Aerohive support.
It bothers me that the defacto answer always seems to be interference. While I can understand that in business environment with multiple WAPS this may be a common occurrence, I'm literally testing in a house with 1 access point, 1 user, and 1 device in the same room. If I'm already seeings a bottleneck at this point, I can't imagine what would happen if 5+ users were connected.
Furthermore, the MCS index charts one of the tech's referenced and claims shows 200Mbps is what you should be getting is incorrect. With an 80Mhz channel width/2 spatial streams/256-QAM the theoretical max would be 867Mbps. Even if you want to cut that number by 50% you'd still be looking at over 400Mbps. Cut it even further by 75% and you'd still be getting more than 200Mbps.
I'm not trying to be argumentative or insulting. I just kind of feel deceived by what's advertised and the actual performance of the device. This is also making me wary about using Aerohive WAP's for some large wireless projects we have coming up. I had one of my coworker's with a gigabit connection take this home to test in his environment and he reported the same results. I'm more than willing to take this back home, generate the reports and provide to support. Just hoping there's an actual resolution to this.
