AP30 Saturation?

syuusuke
Hello,

Does anyone know how to figure out if AP30 access point is being saturated by too many users when in "AP to Bridge" mode?  I know how to see the reports for wlan0 but that's only when you use separate zone mode which isn't what I use.

I know AP30 has a 300Mbps throughput but I'm not sure how you would measure the link for performance testing.  The reason why I'm asking is because the WiFi sometimes feels slow so I'm wondering if I should get another AP30 to distribute load.  During peak hours, I would have 18 users connected to AP30 and the average load is about 8 clients connected to AP.

Any help or advice would be appreciated!

Thanks.

    Since "Bridge to LAN" means that internal traffic never passes through the UTM, you can't measure it there.  The AP 30 radio has a maximum wireless throughput of 300Mbps, but the wire out of it to the network is 100Mbps.  If the signal is strong enough to cover your entire office effectively, I think you'd be better off selling the AP 30 on eBay and replacing it with an AP 50 (1Gbps network connection).  Then again, maybe you would want an AP 100 that connects to the switch at the same speed as the 50, but has more wireless bandwidth.  You should talk with your reseller.

    Cheers - Bob
