The throughput of a Meraki MR57 can vary depending on factors such as the specific configuration, network conditions, and the type of traffic being transmitted.
Here are some general insights:
- Maximum Theoretical Throughput: The Meraki MR57 has a theoretical maximum throughput of 1.9 Gbps on the 5 GHz band and 867 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band.
- Real-world Performance: In real-world scenarios, actual throughput will likely be lower than the theoretical maximum due to factors like interference, client limitations, and network overhead.
- Factors Influencing Throughput:
- Channel Width: Using a wider channel (80 MHz) on the 5 GHz band will result in higher throughput compared to a narrower channel (40 MHz).
- Number of Clients: The more clients connected to the access point, the lower the individual throughput per client.
- Traffic Type: Streaming video or large file transfers will consume more bandwidth than basic web browsing.
For a more accurate estimate of throughput in your specific environment, consider:
- Monitoring Tools: Meraki's dashboard provides real-time performance metrics, including throughput data.
- Testing: Conduct your own throughput tests using tools like iPerf or other network performance testers.
Remember: The actual throughput you experience will depend on your unique network setup and usage patterns.
