Optimal setup for RBmAP2n APs controller with CAPsMaN
Posted: Fri Jun 26, 2015 4:39 am
Hi all,
First time I'm going this deep into wireless networking, so please bear with me. I got a RB750GL as my controller (Capsman server) and 2 RBmAP2n APs. Everything is working, but my speeds are pretty pathetic. If I'm not at least 5 meters from the AP, I get ridiculously slow speeds, anywhere in the range of 1-5Mbps. If I am closer, I maybe get 25Mbps. I must be doing something wrong. I found out after I bought it that it only has one radio, so I won't get it above 50Mbps at all :/ so I at least want it to reach as close as I can to 50Mbps.
My questions are:
- Where should I start looking to try and get my speeds up?
- Is there any other devices I can use to try and get my range longer and get me close to 100Mbps? (hAP lite maybe? but no POE in
)
This is my setup on capsman currently (most of my config is blank because of not know what to set it)
PS: I feel silly posting screenshots... what's the best way to show configs? (sorry I'm new here)... paste an export?
Any help will be really appreciated
Thanks.
