I have seen subtle differences between different AP devices/chipsets. For iOS I also like 'Wi-Fi SweetSpots' which is not a speed test, but rather displays the air link speed (aka 866) so you can see how it changes as you move away from the AP.īut, you are right. This seems to depend a lot on what speed test I use (SpeedSmart (my favorite), Speedtest (ookla), or Fast (Netlix).

Now that said, I have notices that I peak out around ~400-450 Mbit/sec, very rarely hitting ~500Mbit/s on my EAP225's when sitting in the same room with them (one iso in my beadroom and one is downstairs in my office). So, you can expect to get at most 40-60% of 866 as real, usable throughput. Even though the EAP245 supports 3x3, since your client does not, it can't use it. So, given your Apple device (like mine) which has a 2x2 MIMO 802.11ac radio, it's air link speed will be at most 866 Mbit/s - given a very strong signal (both from the AP and from your handset back). 400-500Mbit/s using a speed test over a 5.8GHz, 80MHz, 2x2 connection) is generally, at best 40-60% of the air link speed. Without going into too many technical details, due to overhead, retransmission, payload vs header sizes, etc. ~900 Mbit over 1 Gigabit), with Wifi there are a number of other factors. Unlike Ethernet, where these days you usually get at least 80-95% of the 'rated speed' (e.g. I have about 40 devices on my wireless network, many apple products, several Lenovo laptops, and various Nest cams, etc. I use separate SSID's for 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz - no band steering, no airtime fairness. Prior to start the test, make sure wifiperf is enabled on cnMaestro on-premises.Hi have a very similar setup (Fios Gigabit, OC200, 2x EAP225V3). Test will be performed between AP and cnMaestro on-Premises. Wifiperf test between cnMaestro On-Premises and cnPilot APĬnMaestro On-Premises is having a built-in wifiperf manager and wifiperf endpoint. Uplink direction is cnPilot AP to other wifiperf endpoint and Downlink is other wifiperf end point to cnPilot AP.Ĭommon scenarios of wifiperf test from cnMaestro On-premises are explained below and you need to select the end point as per the scenarios. WifiPerf manager running on cnMaestro on-premises initiate the test between AP and selected WifiPerf endpoint and output will be displayed. To run the Wi-Fi performance test, navigate to Tools > Wi-Fi Performance page.ĭuration can be selected as 10, 20, 30 seconds, and traffic type/protocol select as UDP or TCP. APs should be on-boarded into cnMaestro.As mentioned earlier, make sure Wifiperf traffic (TCP/UDP traffic with port number 18301) is allowed from cnMaestro to cnPilot AP. This is applicable for both E-series and R-series devices. Also, ensure that port number 18301 is not blocked in the network for TCP and UDP.Įxecuting WifiPerf using cnMaestro On- Premises Make sure the NAT/firewall does not block the traffic from wifiperf manager to any endpoint and between the endpoints. So it is mandatory that wifiperf endpoints are reachable from wifiperf manager. The Wifiperf manager establishes control session with wifiperf endpoints using TCP port number 18301.

This could be a cnMaestro On-Premises instance or a PC running “zapwireless” application. )Ī Wifiperf manager is a network element from which the Wifiperf test can be initiated. (Wifiperf Interoperate with open source zapwireless tool. In our case one endpoint is a cnPilot AP, while the other could be cnMaestro On-Premises instance or another cnPilot AP, or any host PC running “zapwireless” application. Performance test, will be executed between cnPilot AP and another WifiPerf endpoint as per below scenarios.Įndpoints are a pair of network elements between which Network performance is measured.

The WifiPerf feature in cnPilot APs (E series and R series devices) enables them to measure network performance, which helps to identify/resolve network issues.
