Hi all. My broadband connect was recently upgraded to 250Mbps, and my old reliable AEBS (2nd gen) couldn't transmit at that level.
Replaced the AEBS with a new 6th gen model.
So AEBS (6th) + rMBP (late 2013) within feet of each other. This is what I am getting when connected to ac vs n:
PHY Mode: 802.11ac
Channel: 132
Country Code: CA
Network Type: Infrastructure
Security: WPA2 Personal
Signal / Noise: -42 dBm / -93 dBm
Transmit Rate: 1300
MCS Index: 9
PHY Mode: 802.11n
Channel: 11
Country Code: CA
Network Type: Infrastructure
Security: WPA2 Personal
Signal / Noise: -28 dBm / -98 dBm
Transmit Rate: 217
MCS Index: 23
Does that make sense - that the n network would be using more streams than the ac? Want to be sure there are no issues with the AEBS - on n it is underperforming compared to the way old AEBS it replaced. On AC the TX rate varies widely from 800 to 1300 sitting right next to the router.
Thanks!
