SRXN3205 Slow file transfer over WLAN
Hello,
I configurated my SRXXN3205 with 5 GHz 802.11n (Region: Europe(40Mhz), Mode: 11na, Channel: Auto, Channel Spacing: 40 Mhz). I am using two laptops with full signal strength, but the transfer rates are very slow.
The maximal through put is 3,3 MB/s.
Isn't there no possibility to increase the transfer rate?
The wiki page shows that 150 MBps are possible.

- fordemMentorYou also neglected to specify the source of the data - where was the http server you were downloading from and how does it attach to your network - if it's not on your network, please also let me know the speed of the network connection betwene the networks.

Thanks, I will try :) - aditMentorWhich firmware on the router? Did you follow the firmware upgrade procedure?
- H3llGhostAspirantFirmware 3.0.7-24 is on the router.
- fordemMentorYou do realise you're comparing a $250 wireless firewall/router with a $1000 wireless access point ...
What's between the Aruba and the 1Gb fibre connection?
Did you measure throughput on the SRXN3205 the same way?
What type of internet connection do you have feeding the SRXN3205 and how fast is it?
A quick glance at the spec for the Intel 6300 and the Aruba shows them to be both 3x3, that information is missing from the SRXN3205 data sheet, it does have three antennas but that does not indicate the underlying topology - most of the older 802.11a/b/g equipment was single channel with dual antenna diversity systems.
On closer examination - the Intel is 3x3 with three spatial streams, and the Aruba as 3x3 with two spatial streams - H3llGhostAspirantOh ...
The 1Gb fibre connection is WAN and internal is 10Gb fibre between the core switches and a failover from 1 Gb fibre.
All is connected with 1 Gb Ethernet.
Yes both measures was on the same way.
The SRXN3205 is connected to 100MBits WAN, which delievers 16+ MB/s.
It would be interesting to know, what the SRXN3205 uses.
