You shouldn't be putting any clients on a 450AP with less than 4x connections, when they start pulling a lot of traffic they significantly choke the AP. Whoever engineered those links needs slapped. I know it probably looked like a good idea at the time to add a new customer but a couple low signal clients really affect total AP capacity. You could probably pull all the 1x and 2x clients and replace them with 10 times more customers running at 8x mnodulatio n and maintain the same utilization rates on that AP.
