How to optimize single client transmit to LAN NAS ?
So new SXR50 is killing my laptop backup jobs. Everything else is great but upload to NAS takes 2-3X longer. Have been investigating by watching windows copy GUI during drag-n-drop of 1G iso file b...
Avoid (ab)use such a device for AP config. As you already have a nice network with 2.5 GbE (and Gigabit for the NAS LAD/trunk), think about installing a WAX6xx, or a single (in case you look for a single local managed AP) WAX218 as per your Wi-Fi needs. These AP won't go CPU bound even at full bandwidth.
Can't resist to mention: Better use wired Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi for full system backup processes. You ruin your overall limited radio and band bandwidth on the air otherwise.
Minor one: Strictly stick on the correct units, show the effective units. MB is Megabytes, Mb is Megabits - difference is a factor eight.

Yes BYTES as measured by Windows File copy GUI. Librespeed shows 750 Mbit down / 400Mbit up but divide by 8 is a bit optimistic. For SMB traffic at 1500MTU I consider bits/10 pretty good due to overhead.
Thank you for confirming WAX series does not have this same limitation. I will stop fighting with trying to figure out why STP impacts CPU load and just get something more appropriate. ( my clients lack ethernet ports and building lacks cable to center *sigh* ).
For benefit of anyone else considering this product please note that if your office has no servers and all you need is to distribute 300 / 30 or perhaps 500 / 50 internet to clients it works well. The radios are rock solid and range good.
