      Are you testing a wireless client?

      Trying to troubleshoot what appears to be really slow throughput through my AP from my laptop.

      Tested the ethernet and the performance is where it should be.

      Are you running the tests from that laptop?

        Laptop and a VM that is attached to the LAN on a dedicated port from my hypervisor.

          Is the laptop connected at N or AC? What frequency / channel? (2.4gHz or 5gHz?)

            AC and N for testing, both resulted in sub-par performance.

                Use an app on your phone to see what kind of noise you have... You may need to set the channel manually for the 2.4gHz band. I've not heard of having to do that on 5gHz.

                  I will actually set the AC channels to Auto.

                    What about the channel width? I've seen setting them to 20 (for 2.4 gHz) and 40 (for 5gHz) improve things.

                        Correct, although you would not find that much interference yet with 5Ghz channels.

                            @dafyre Yes, I reset and set as much as possible to automatic.

                            Performance is still in the dumps.

                                  So do you have 2.4 GHz off or not?

                                      My new AP should be arriving today so I'll test with that and see how it compared to this.

                                          So new AP arrived and I'm getting the same sluggish performance.

                                          It has to be my router. . .

                                            What is your router? Do you have an ERL or ERx?
