We are relatively new to the 450 platform and are trying to roll out faster rate packages, specifically at least 20 Mb/s download. I have an AP that currently has approx. 20 customers with various modulations from 8x/1x MIMO-A through 8x/8x MIMO-B. For testing purposes I moved all SMs but one (all SMs are licensed to 20 Mb except my testing SM) to other APs and conducted speed tests. The best download speeds that I could attain were 15ish Mb/s down and 7 Mb/s up. I ran several speed tests and never exceeded the 15 Mb +/- 2 Mb mark. My testing computer is a Macbook Pro with a gigabit ethernet port connected directly to the SM.
What am I doing wrong? I can obtain any metric that is needed. Here are the relevant (I think) settings...
AP:
PMP450, 15.1.2
2417.5 MHz, 20 MHz channel width, 5.0 ms frame
Sustaind Downlink: 232500
Sustained Uplink: 77500
Downlink Burst: 2500000
Uplink Burst: 2500000
Max Burst Down: 310000
Max Burst Up: 310000
SM:
PMP450, 15.1.1
Modulation: 8x/6x MIMO-B
Receive Power: -56.9 dBm
Sustained Downlink: 232500
Sustained Uplink: 77500
Downlink Burst: 2500000
Uplink Burst: 2500000
Max Burst Down: 310000
Max Burst Up: 310000
Link Test w/Bridging and MIR:
Downlink: 57.50 Mbps
Uplink: 7.72 Mbps
Please let me know what else would be helpful to diagnois and I'll get it. Thank you!
