WAP4410N very-very poor performance

[TitovLab1]

Hello!

We have Cisco WAP4410N-G5 with firmware 2.0.4.2 and two notebooks with 802.11n adapters (Intel Centrino N130 and Ralink RT3090).

Network scheme: Server 1Gbit LAN <> Gigabit switch <> WAP4410N <> notebooks. On server we have samba, http and FTP.

We tried to download file from server via http/ftp and samba and the maximum speed we get about 23 Mbit/s. It is really very poor performance for 802.11n standard.

We tried different firmware versions for WAP4410N and settings (20 and 40 MHz, N only and etc) - no luck.

We replaced WAP4410N with WRT610N and get about 85-100Mbit/s in the same enviroment.

Maybe it is a hardware problem with our WAP4410N?

Hi, My name is Eric Moyers. I am a Network Support Engineer in the Cisco Small Business Support Center. Thank you for using the Cisco Community Post Forums.

When you upgraded your WAP4410N to 2.0.4.2 did you do a factory reset afterwards? It is suggested that when flashing to this firmware that you factory reset then manually reconfigure the AP.

Other things that you can try are setting the "Force LAN Port Speed to 100M" to enabled. If you are still having issues please call into our support center located closest to you and open a ticket.
