I recently installed
4 AirPoint Pro AP's that replaced 2 Orinoco AP-2000. I have 4 90 degree
sector antennae on top of a water tower. I was getting throughput to the
clients at a peak of 2.5 Mpbs with the Orinoco's. I am only getting a peak
of about 1.6 Mpbs with the AP Pro's on each of the sectors. I am using
Linksys Wet11's and had no problems with them. I changed to the APPro's
due to the Orinoco's resetting themselves when overloading which was causing my
clients to lose their associations.
I have made changes
to RTS/CTS with little changes to performance. The number of clients
associated to each AP ranges from 10 to 40, but there seems to be no difference
in throughput, so it is not just the 40 client AP that is underperforming.
All of the AP's go into a switch which then goes to my Packetshaper, and on to
my router.
