I installed one 5GHz omni AP on RB411AH and connected 16x RB411 with 19dbi panel. Each of the sixteen clients has connected 2-4 Axis IP cameras. The Network Video Recorder is at the site with the Omni. This is all short range approximately 1 sq km with power on most radios turned down to 10dbi. The network is WDS bridged 802.11N 40mhz, single chain, single antenna. Here is my results.
Also I am using rOS 4.11 nstreme with polling enabled, this type of inbound bandwidth from multiple clients is a testament to the improvement in the nstreme on multipoint with the v4.
So about 70mbps inbound seems to be the limit of this AP. I jumped the camera settings up to “maximum” which would generate about 3mbps/camera, but the rate per client did not go over 5mbps. I added a second AP (slower 133, but with the same R52N), moved two clients to that AP. Those clients were sending 10mbps each which maxed out the CPU in the 133. When I did that, the main ap stayed at 70mbps but the clients jumped up to 6mbps, so the limit seems to be wireless throughput on the AP.
I will be replacing the second AP (133) with one running the 411AH, to try and get the 39 cameras all their 3mbps.
