I administer the network of two coffee shops, one just hasn't been finished yet.
We recently put in a rb433AH at the first with an r2n as the AP card and i'm seeing a lot of lag and dropped clients, while not using anywhere near the available bandwidth. now I'm sure this has to do with the number of clients, since when there's just a few, ccq goes up to >90. When we're busy there can be ~35 clients. I've been playing with settings trying to get it higher to no avail, any advice would be helpful. Is there perhaps a way i could use another card simultaneously? or anything else.
thanks, wireless configs/status follow
