Background: New IT guy of ~6 months, took over all IT ops for a company that was contracting out to an ITSP, company uses exclusively Aerohive APs which can be nice as we're a construction company with lots of job sites and I can configure them all from the manager if changes need to be made, but they're overly complicated imo.
We got our brand new gigabit circuit from AT&T turned up today, only seen it go up to around 900Mbps but apparently that's normal (ripoff in my book as we're paying $2100+ a month for this)
Hard-wire works fine both before and after the firewall, servers are getting 600 minimum at peak traffic.
My APs are struggling though. The most I've gotten out of one is 250, but they're averaging less than 30 which is almost as bad as we had before this with a 50Mb circuit.
Broadcasting at 5Ghz with a 80Mhz band width, not sure what else to do to try and get this thing faster. Put in a ticket with Aerohive but not expecting much help. If anyone here has experience configuring these things I sure would appreciate some pointers. We have an AP250 and an AP230 in the office, one for each floor, they should be able to output this no problem.
Originally thought it was the firewall (Fortigate 100E), but servers behind it are fine. Set the MTU packet size to try and speed things up via removing fragmentation but it didn't seem to change much.
Thanks for any help you guys can offer, let me know if you need any more info.
