WNDAP350 New Firmware 2.1.2
Having experienced some low wireless connection speeds and what appeared to be drops in wireless broadcasts, I flashed 2.1.2 about an hour ago on the WNDAP350 I run here at home to cover my second flo...
WNDAP350 Bandwith test using firmware 2.1.2
Note: TKIP is mutch faster than AES, I have tested on several APs (WNDAP350 that is)
Bandwith tester is iperf running against 3 servers on 2 different distribuition switches
Access switches are 100Mbit HP Procurve switches.
Summary:
the following speeds were measured on FW 2.0.9 and are a summary on 5 APs connected to 100Mbit and 1Gigabit HP switches.
3-4Mbit/s using AES
14-18Mbit/s using TKIP
From the tests on FW 2.1.2 I cannot say it is faster than previous firmware.
A test with the firmware 2.1.2 directly attached to the core layer (Gigabit HP Procurve) gave the following resluts.
(I also tested it connected to a D-link 100Mbit POE-switch with the same results)

I will wait for the the users on this AP to complain or not and might do an upgrade in the end of January on the other ones if there is no complaints.
