It sounds like you have a lot of weak signal clients. You should see the AP max out at 50-60mbps but only if the majority of clients are 6x or 8x.
Can you add stingers or dishes to the SMs?? The 450i will give you more PPS but that's probably not the issue. I would just add another 450AP aimed in the same direction and split the load. -Sean On Thu, Jan 19, 2017 at 9:33 AM Eric Muehleisen <ericm...@gmail.com> wrote: > We currently have a pile of 450 AP's that top out around 100% downlink > utilization which gives us between 30-35mb/s downlink capacity. > > We are considering the 450m but doesn't make sense, cost wise, in many of > our locations.
