Maximizing Throughput
Optimal throughput rates and wireless performance in general can be improved by mounting APs correctly
(high up on a wall or on the ceiling). Additionally, placing APs away from kitchens and other areas with high
interference will also result in better performance. In a mesh environment, throughput rates will be significantly
better with fewer hops to the gateway.
Meraki recommends that the end user is located no more than 3 hops away from the gateway. Each hop will
reduce the bandwidth by 50%. For example, a 6 Mbps connection to a gateway will reduce to 3 Mbps at the
second hop and 1.5 Mbps at the third hop.
XonTel W series phone built-in environment detection tools, if you had wired VoIP phone services can work
normally, we need to test your AP processing capacity, please check your wireless network according to the
following steps.:
1. Before testing, you need to install the iPerf test software on a PC.
2. Detect communication between terminals and PC, analysis of delay, jitter and drop.
3. Test steps:
3.1 Open the iPerf software on the PC and configure the UDP and server mode, as shown in the screen shot
below:
