    HI,

     

    You have to enable wide channel support feature as shown in the snapshot. here you have select 2.4 GHz as Wide channel support to meet your requirement

    40 MHz channels are NOT recommended for the 2.4 GHz band.

    Thanks,

    Hi Dhanraj,


    I had used 20 MHz channels only earlier. Even though it was not
    working.


    Please suggest me what needs to be done to increase the
    speed of ARUBA 135 APs as I am getting only 10 MBPS from all 6 APs. When 5
    - 10 clients are there in the depot all the clients are transferring at 2
    MBPS. But when 60 clients are in depot then most of the clients are below
    100 KBPS only. Please suggest me so that each client should transfer at at
    least 500 KBPS.

    I suggest looking at your RF environment if you are not getting the speeds you desire. As Tim pointed out, using 40Mhz on 2.4Ghz is not recommended.

    Without knowing you're environment it is difficult to suggest changes.

    I suggest opening a case with TAC as they can look at your whole network.

    Hi all,

     

     

     What is the max speed that the ARUBA 135 AP can receive the data from client through wireless and transmit the dtaa to server through LAN?

     

     Please share me the MAx and Min values of speed?

    you said the 40 MHz channels are not recomended for 2.4GHz. In which case/ Band these 40 MHz channel width can be used?

    The speed of traffic through an AP135 depends on client capability, congestion, and a number of other factors.  If your client speed is 100k, it is low.

     

    Are you running a controller-based or instant network?

    How long has it been installed?

    What kinds of clients are connected?

    How many SSIDs do you have configured?

    Posted May 11, 2015 07:18 AM

    Hi,

     

     

    We are having 21 APs in 3 locations.

    1st location   -   6 APs             SSID   -    CD1                           Clients   -   60

    2nd location  -   7 APs             SSID   -    ISBT                           Clients  -    90

    3rd location   -  6 APs             SSID   -    BAIRAGARH              Clients  -   60

                                        All these 3 locations are connected through P2P devices (intranet). The 1st location is having a controller where all the changes will take through this controller for remaining 2 locations.

     

                           We had configured 1 SSID in one location. The clients will support max of 16mbps each.

     

                                  We are using Digital video recoder in bus which will store the data. This DVR will have an Wi-Fi which will connect to ARUBA AP as soon as it comes to the depot and start transfer the data.

    What operating system is the digital video recorder and what encryption is used to connect to the wireless?

     



  • 15.  RE: How to allow 40MHz width in ARUBA 135

    Posted May 11, 2015 07:40 AM

    Hi,

     

     

      The DVR OS is LInux. But the DVR is having a LAN port and Wi - Fi device is also having a LAN port. The DVR and Wi-Fi device will cobnnect through wire. And the Wi-Fi will connect to AP and transfer the data to server. The Wi-Fi will transfer a max data of 16Mbps.

     

     

              Now the issue is when 5- 10 clients are connceted to the APs they are transferring at higher rates. But when 60 clients connect to 6 APs most of the clients are transferring less than 100 Kbps. I am suspecting some issue from AP side as the clients are transferring data at higher speed when less number of clients are connected.

     

      Please find the screen shots of Wi-Fi router

    Are you using an Aruba controller to configure the AP135s, or is this an IAP (Instant) deployment?

    Hi,

     

     We had made 1 ARUBA IAP as virtual controller so that it will pass on the changes to other APs.

    I dont see much improvement even after changing the Broadcast filtring to ALL.   These 6 APs are installed side by side with a distance of 10 meters between each AP. I ma using Channel 1 for 2 APs,Channel 6 for 2 APs and Channel 11 for 2 APs.

     

     

          Please suggest me how to increase the throughput and all the clients should transfer atleast by 8 Mbps.

     

           What is max data rate that AP can receive through Wireless and transfer then through LAN to the server?

    How high are these access points mounted?  10 meters is too close in an open space.  20 meters would be better.

    Hi,

     

        These APs are mounted to a wall at 4 meters height. But the radius of depot is less that is the reason we had installed 10 meters for each AP. How to oincrease the speed of AP as I am only receiving only 8 - 10 MBPS ( 64 - 80 Mbps)  at server end.

     

                  But we rae having 60 clients which are capable of transferring 2MBPS (16Mbps) each. Then I should receive more speed at server end right?

     

                     We are having 6 APs and 60 Clients in the depot. We need more speed as we need to download a data of 700 GB  within 10 Hours.

     

                      Each AP is transferring only 1.5 MBPS (12Mbps). But the AP will support 150 Mbps.

     

               Please suggest how to increase the speed. Is there any issue with 2.4GHz band and how to configure the channels for APs.  Please suggest

    You only seem to have high utilization on one access point, so you could have problems there.

    Do you have problems with other clients?

    Hi,

     

     

          At present there are few clients in the depot. All the clients will connect after 7:30 P.M. Once all the clients enter the depot the speed is getting reduced as some clients are transferring only in KBPS. Is there any limit in 2.4 GHz channels ?

    There is no limit by default. You should try to connect a separate client at night to rule out a client issue.

    Hi,

     

     There is no issue with the client. Even when 10 clients are connected I am receiving 10MBPS (100Mbps) data at server end and even 60 clients are conncted I am receiving only 10MBPS (100Mbps) data. there is some issue with the APs.

     

             Please find the attached acreen shot in which we had received 2 TB data from last 7 days. On an average we are receiving 300 - 350 GB data per day. But our clients support 2MBPS (16Mbps). Then we should receive 700 GB data per day because each bus will have 13 - 14 GB data. We are having 60 clients. Please suggest me as there is some configuration issue / some other issue with AP.

    That data rate and the data transferred does not explain your issues.

     

    Do you have a floor plan that shows where your access points are mounted?

     

    - You have access points mounted 3 meters on the wall.  They should be mounted on a ceiling, or if they are mounted on the wall, they need to be pointing down.  If they are not pointing down, your clients on the ground, especially right under the access point will have a problem connecting, due to the pattern.

    - You have the transmit power on your access points at 21, which is too high, since you have them mounted at every 20 meters.  You should change the ARM maximum Transmit to 18 or 15 and the ARM minimum Transmit to 12:  http://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/Instant_41_WebHelp/InstantWebHelp.htm#UG_files/ARM/Configuring_ARM-Features.htm  

     

    If you have the transmit power too high, that will cause interference with other access points and that will cause or contribute to your performance issue.  If you only have a few users, they might get good performance, but as more users connect and they add to the interference, your throughtput will go down.  Having access points at the highest power will also cause roaming issues.  Also you have an access point that has high utilization (78) that you might have to look at see if there is other interference like a Microwave or other wireless devices that could be causing your issue.

     

    If you can, make sure that ARM Client Match is turned OFF (http://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/Instant_41_WebHelp/InstantWebHelp.htm#UG_files/ARM/Configuring_ARM-Features.htm) and you are running Instant 4.1.1.3 or higher to avoid any issues.

    Hi ,

     

     

     We had pointed APs towrads down itself. The client match is disabled earlier itself. Which should I use for band steering? At present we are only having 2.4GHz clients.

     

       Please share me the latest firmware.

    If you only have 2.4 GHz clients, the client match setting does not matter.

    Did you try turning down the max power on the access points?
