In a crowded environment RTS being lowered can help because
it allows a client radio to send a Request To Send to the AP
and the AP tells everyone else to shut up while the client
sends off it's packets. Something like 1024 would be a good
test setting to start with just to see if it would help.

The Frag Threshold tells the AP to break up the packets when
the exceed the specified size. That causes more (but smaller)
packets to be sent through the air, allowing for more clients
to get data through.

Typically you want to only adjust one at a time to see which
one is going to be that little bit of "Magic" for your particular
situation.

RTS and Frag are both set at 2346... not sure what this does or means? any
explanation and example of what changing these values does would be great.

Thanks,

35 should work matters if the RTS and frag are all tweaked or are they all
talking at the same time? The clients that is. I have about 28 on my pop's
and we had swore at one point not to go above 25 on our site hence we're
upgrading personally we don't use splitters its another point of failure but
it should work with the amp none the less. It really depends on use the 11mb
RF is aggregate and shared so if everyones on or all the radios are talking
or evne the majority there going to go nuts.

What is the max client associations on an APPO without comprimising the
performance of the throughput?
I have 1 APPO that has 35 clients on it, and 1 APPO that has only 5
clients... the lesser of the two can get 2 Mbps throuput, which is what we
are feeding it from the backhaul, however on the APPO with 35 clients, the
max throughput I can get is about 700 to 800 Kbps.  The setup is as follows:
1 APPO --> .5 Watt Amp --> Splitter --> 2 - 120 degree sector antennas.
1 APPO --> 1 - 120 degree sector antenna
The APPO experiencing throughput problems it the one that has the splitter
on it.. could this be causing the problem? We just purchased the WISP that
setup the APPOs and I am not opposed to adding a 3rd APPO if that would be a
viable solution, but I am concerned if 35 clients is going to hinder the
performance that much.
Thanks,
Eric
