Optimal setup for RBmAP2n APs controller with CAPsMaN

Fri Jun 26, 2015 4:39 am

Hi all,

First time I'm going this deep into wireless networking, so please bear with me. I got a RB750GL as my controller (Capsman server) and 2 RBmAP2n APs. Everything is working, but my speeds are pretty pathetic. If I'm not at least 5 meters from the AP, I get ridiculously slow speeds, anywhere in the range of 1-5Mbps. If I am closer, I maybe get 25Mbps. I must be doing something wrong. I found out after I bought it that it only has one radio, so I won't get it above 50Mbps at all :/ so I at least want it to reach as close as I can to 50Mbps.

My questions are:

- Where should I start looking to try and get my speeds up?
- Is there any other devices I can use to try and get my range longer and get me close to 100Mbps? (hAP lite maybe? but no POE in :( )

This is my setup on capsman currently (most of my config is blank because of not know what to set it)

PS: I feel silly posting screenshots... what's the best way to show configs? (sorry I'm new here)... paste an export?

Any help will be really appreciated

Thanks.

Thanks Panosla, that made me peak at 25Mbps up and down on wifi... :/ guess that's as good as I'll get with one radio in the AP?

Hi Panosla,

Would you care to elaborate what the optimal settings would be for the channels and extension channels? This is kinda why I'm asking the question on the forum, as if I knew these settings I wouldn't have to bother the forum :D

Thanks!
