If the clients are relatively new, I find it works best letting clients manage this - because the firmware in the chip sets now tends to work as it was intended. Both can cause problems for some clients.
You might still be able to use 40MHz channels on 5GHz band especially if you include the DFS channels - but don't use a virtual cell.īe wary of band steering and roaming/load balancing options. In this arrangement - a single client won't get such a high speed - but collectively- a lot more data will be getting through the APs. That wouldn't give the best performance when you might have several classes of users on neighbouring APs when you would almost certainly be better using narrow 20MHz channels and NOT using virtual cell technology - but using "layers" (Do Meru still call it that) on channels 1, 6 and 11 so that the load gets divided up and reducing the size of the collision domain. Getting the highest throughput to a single (or low number) of clients might be to use Meru's single cell technology and/or use wide 40MHz channels on both 2.4 and 5GHz bands. I am hoping that someone will be able to help me to increase the throughput of the APs or at least check the settings to see if they are ok.This sounds like a sensible question to ask.
I'm not sure about the support contract as I'm still looking through the documentation. It may be worth seeing if you can get that from them.Yes, all APs have been set to use channel 6 for RF band 802.11bgn and channel 36 for RF band 802.11ac. It may be worth seeing if you can get that from them.ĭo you have a valid support contract with Meru, although it was very expensive (I replaced all my APs for the cost of a Year and Half of the controller support) they are actually very good at it, and they even sent someone onsite here to do packet sniffing and adjust the network. Just over a year ago I switched from the AGN Meru network to an AC unifi network, and the performance has been noticeably better, but I cannot tell you whether it is from going AC or from using Unifi, but I did go from 52 APs down to 41 and have a noticeably better performance for end users.ĭo you have a valid support contract with Meru, although it was very expensive (I replaced all my APs for the cost of a Year and Half of the controller support) they are actually very good at it, and they even sent someone onsite here to do packet sniffing and adjust the network. We had meru in, and they split them into 3 different channels and the performance was better. We initially had a Meru wireless network when this building was opened, and we found that the Virtual Cell/Port technology when everything was on the same channel had a performance hit when they were setup on their "Ideal" setup of all the same channel. Are all your APs on the same channel and do you have a map of their locations?
