Hi,
We have just install a 5700AP and a 5700SM. The is only ONE SM
at present but we will be adding another 2 later.
The SM has a reflector and the AP does NOT. The distance is 3.55miles.
When we do a Link Test we always get 98% or better Efficiency, but
the speeds are low, I have set the Downlink to 50% and was expecting
3.5mb each way (or close to that), but here is what I get :
Stats for LUID: 2 Test Duration: 2 Pkt Length: 1522
Downlink RATE: 3250176 bps
Uplink RATE: 1803008 bps
Downlink Efficiency: 99 Percent
Max Downlink Index: 100
Actual Downlink Index: 99
Expected Frag Count: 12696
Actual Frag Count: 12736
Uplink Efficiency: 100 Percent
Max Uplink Index: 98
Actual Uplink Index: 98
Expected Frag Count: 7043
Actual Frag Count: 7043
The uplink rate appears to be much slower that I expected, even with
a 100% uplink efficency.
Here are the Session Stats and AP Eval Data :

Can someone please help me, I am a novice with Canopy and
could sure use the help.
Thanks

When we need to be able to transmit the same mb rate (approx.) up and down we set the percent number to 35%.
