If there is a better forum for this request, please let me know.
We just took over a church client with 12 cnPilot e600s. All APs have home runs to a PoE switch in the rack - no meshing. There is a Sonicwall at the edge and 2 Unifi switches. They have gigabit fiber service, and throughput measured for a wired client averages about 800Mbs down, 640Mbps up. Over wifi, though, I’m seeing 180Mbps down when I’m standing directly under an AP with a fresh connection. Connecting my laptop to the ethernet feed for that AP gives me normal wired speeds. My testing was done during the week, when there are only a handful of workstations in use and single-digits wifi users. the low speeds are experienced with each of the 4 or 5 APs I tested. I also made sure that all APs were on the latest firmware and had fresh reboots.
We manage about 50 Unifi networks, but this is the only Cambium setup. I’m looking around in cnMaestro and don’t really see anything that jumps out at me as far as misconfiguration or alarms. The layout and configuration is pretty wildly different than the way Unifi does things, so I could easily be missing something obvious.
There are 5 SSIDs altogether, with all SSIDs currently being broadcast by all APs. This is on the list of things to reconfigure, since we could separate everything into two groups based on their location & structure. I didn’t want to start down that path until I got a handle on the throughput issue, though.
Can you suggest where I should start to troubleshoot this low throughput?
