We have several 2702i's that are managed by our 5508 WLC, several users are complaining about slow speeds in general. We tested a couple of AP's in 2.4 and 5ghz only and both cap at around 18-20 mbps up and down. We even forced N connections only but the speeds seem to be capped at 18-20. We are using WPA+WPA2 Enterprise with TKIP Encryption and our SSID is hidden.. Could this be an issue with why we arent coming close to N speeds?
Any light that can be shed on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.
During my testing I configured one lone AP to operate in 5ghz mode ONLY, with 1 device attached/connected to it. The speed still hovered around 20 meg max. Are you able to explain why both WPA and WPA2 shouldn't be used?
Thanks!

I tested another SSID in our environment that was not using TKIP encryption and speeds were hitting N speeds.
Thank you for clearing this up for me guys!
