[Cialug] EX-Bridge

Do you have a 10 Mbit switch in the path somewhere?  A duplex mismatch if the devices are directly connected to the bridge.  Is one of your results in MBps and not Mbps?

There was a great recommendation for this HW a while back, .. and we installed an Ultra5 for the site (5GHz, 100Mbps link).

It went into 'production' this week, but the throughput is not as shown on the status page:

        Signal Strength -37 dBm
        Noise floor -89 dBm
        Transmit CCQ 99%
        TX/RX Rate 243 Mbps / 300 Mbps

Should be a screamer, right? Well, .. I downloaded a LAN speed test from CNET, and it showed 4.8/5.0 Mbps on a file transfer!!!!

Granted, the clients & server are Windoze, but what could be the explanation for the difference in wireless speed indication and throughput??

        Thanks!

        Lee
