RB411 + R52n + 2 small omni antennas: no more than 81Mbps

RouterOS Wireless Networking

Hi
I have installed an indoor access point based on RB411U + R52n with 2 small omni RSMA antennas.
I am testing the connection with ThinkPad laptop with Intel 5300 a/b/g/n card, sitting 1-2 meters aside, and cannot connect using ‘802.11n’ mode at speed better than 81Mbps. Very often it falls down to 54Mbps.

What is the case? Why it wouldn’t allow me to connect at 200-300 Mbps? Just ordinary Linksys WRT350N can do that.

I am doing anything wrong?

Edit: tried to put it behind the wall, but no changes at all.

are you seriously saying that your linksys can provide actual data througput of more than 200mbit of real data :slight_smile: ? or is it just some random number written in it’s interface ?

Please share your AP settings with me, because sometomes we see the speed drops to 1Mbps-SP. I would be very happy to have it constantly on 48 or 54Mbits… :smiley:

normis, I think he is speaking of the wireless connect speed, not the actual throughput

5

yes, comparing connected data rate to actual throughput isn’t really fair.

What are the best real world numbers one can get on this hardware: for both connection and actual throughput?

P.S.
Found actual N throughput tests of mass-market routers… looks rather sad even for the better ones
