7 – Link Aggregation (LAG) for 1+ Gbps Wireless AP Throughput
Test Objective
To verify that it is possible to exceed 1 Gbps of actual throughput with an 802.11ac Wave 2-
compliant Access Point under certain conditions.
How we did it
This test was run using just two clients:
To verify that it is possible to exceed 1 Gbps of actual throughput with an 802.11ac Wave 2-
compliant Access Point under certain conditions.
How we did it
This test was run using just two clients:
A three spatial stream (3SS) MacBook Pro, Single-User-MIMO laptop, connecting in the 2.4-
GHz band, and
GHz band, and
A Linksys EA8500 wireless router with a wired Dell E5540 laptop, acting as a four-spatial-
stream (4SS)-capable, Multi-User-MIMO client, connected via a 5-GHz channel.

The AP channel width was set to 80 MHz to maximize throughput on the 5-GHz channel to the
Dell/Linksys client.

The IxChariot test system issued TCP traffic over two Gigabit Ethernet copper links to each AP,
and recorded the aggregate downlink throughput.
The below diagram shows the lab set-up for the link-aggregation test. Two Gigabit Ethernet links
are required in order to deliver more than 1 Gbps through the AP to clients, and the links in our
testing were set-up to deliver up to 2 Gbps of load-shared data.

Results
As the below graph shows, it is possible with Cisco’s 1852i Wave 2-based Access Point to achieve
and exceed 1 Gbps of real, downlink TCP throughput, to suitable clients using Link Aggregation
(that is, two load-sharing, copper Gigabit Ethernet links to the AP).
