Rucks Bandwidth Test - 200Mbps line

[CHiLL]

We're trying to figure out what caused our Wi-Fi to slow down to <1Mb and to the point that pages don't load. Compared to our wired clients at the same time were reporting speeds of ~180Mbps. We have a Ruckus ZoneDirector 1200 with 25 R500 APs. The ZD and APs are all spec'd for b/g/n/ac. The speeds have improved and now reporting in the region of 50-90Mbps on both a wireless N desktop and a wireless AC laptop. However despite that, some news pages on BBC or MSN are taking ~19 seconds to load (despite being mainly text with few images). Loading news articles from the same sites on wired devices is instant.

 

I have installed the Ruckus SpeedFlex app on my phone and done a speed test to the ZD, which reported 75Mbps. We have also disabled main BYOD VLAN, leaving our RADIUS VLAN for AD clients and our VLAN for iPads. We dropped from ~200 connected devices to 63, of which 50 of them are iPads.

 

If someone else has a 200Mbps line and a Ruckus ZoneDirector, could you do a speed test from a wireless N device and let me know what your real world speeds are?

If you don't have the same line speed, but do have a Ruckus ZoneDirector, would you be able to install the SpeedFlex app and let me know what speeds it reports? (You need to change the configuration and enter the IP of the ZD in the destination IP)

Not got that line speed - have a 1Gbps line instead, and I get 65Mbps down and 103Mbps on my Chromebook on my desk (to the internet), which apparently has a "medium" connection to the AP (ZF710).

 

Don't have Speedflex app on the chromebook though, so can't test that bit.
