Ethernet/CRC errors? What do linktests to the SMs return? Is it possible
you have SM to SM traffic on the same AP overloading it? Enable the
throughput monitoring tool on your APs.
Besides all that, what about interference, have you ran the spectrum
analyzer? This is a two-way street. You can have noise at an SM which
will get it very crappy link efficiency. Like their router wifi channel
is the same frequency (or close to it) that the SM is trying to listen on.

Earlier I posted that I was having some through put issues. I have a
2.4 AP with 40 subs. I started having issues where customers were
having horrific ping times on the AP, the majority anyways. I would
still have customers that were stellar most of the time. Firmwares
were all over the place, all on the same level as well as AP with the
same issue. I had segregated the subs to multiple Color Codes, as
times I had as few as 1 to 4 subs registered at a time. If I swapped
color codes to a different code and allowed 4 different users on, at
times the issue would follow them as well.
I had a tech swap out the AP 2 evenings ago, and to my dismay I
noticed the issue right away. Today I re-routed a back up back haul to
that site and the AP is the only device pulling service from that BH.
I have 2 more sites that feed off of this tower and they are not
experiencing the issue. This issue crept up on us last Friday night. I
have only heard from a handful of users so I don�t know if everyone is
experiencing the issue, or at least noticed. For the most part its
really bad at time during prime time, however today and during the day
Monday it was real noticeable. From what I can tell on my MikroTik is
that its really only handing out about 3 meg right now. This network
is bridged, I have some Tiks in place to start routing and also for
management purposes. I had the same results from just using a standard
switch. I am not experiencing any other issues on that network. All
radios, except for 4, are NAT enabled. The other 4 at times I would
have totally disabled or not associated with the same results
We were suspecting a bad Canopy radio mucking up the AP, which we have
seen but its rare. But like I said we have seen it with only a few
users associated. I cant imagine that I had several bad radios at
once. The AP is swapped out. Could it be a network issue? In all my
years of using Canopy I have never seen this issue. I fear that my BS
skills may be wearing thin on my customers, but I am unsure of where
to look
Thanks
