How do I tell if my network is running optimally? My real-life performance of clients is not real impressive. For example, a client connecting at n 40MHz standing very near the AP will only get data transfer rates of maybe 50Mb/s and a b/g client will get a max of 20 Mb/s. The controller says my speed is much higher, We are using iperf to test and the same test scenario over the wired network gets close to 1 Gb/s.
I have Spectrum Monitor running but I haven't been able to find much information on how to read the graphs. How do I know what good or poor values are for Noise Floor, Channel Busy, Client Health, retried frames, etc. It seems like I have a lot of retried frames but I have nothing to compare it to.
Thanks
