Cisco 1532i throughput questions
Hi Experts
Question regarding Cisco 1532i throughput on a 2 site bridge mode connection. With this setup, I am only seeing a maximum of 9to10MB/s file transfer speeds from the remote side to a host on the root side and I think it should be faster.
Here is Root Bridge:

I only have the 5GHz enabled, and I read about turning on the above 40 MHz Channel Width - that option is only on the root bridge ap and not the non-root-bridge - does this equal a problem if turned on the root and not non-root as well?
Will it help?
Should I enable the 2.4 GHz radios as well?
Thanks for looking over the configs.

Ok, I will replace the 10/100 switch with a HP ProCurve 2910al I have for cold spare.
I changed to below and above 40 Mhz on the root bridge and it did not change the transfer speeds - so maybe it is the chump Netgear switch @ my test bench that is the problem.
Will advise after the switch change out

So after swapping to the HP 2910al - I am seeing 16.3 MB/sec
Should it be able to reach 35 MB/sec?
Seems odd, the speed doubled from 8 to 16 with the switch change and not higher.

The most you'll get is about 16.5MB/s across the link between the radios.

Sending a little love to Predrag Jovic for responding 1st
@craigbeck - Thank you for the assist. I will turn it up for the users and see how they respond as it sounds like it will not get any better.
