802.11N clients on Wireless not showing correct speed

Hello,

I'm having issues with the "Wireless" view Orion.

I recently purchased a few Cisco 1142N access points. I did some poking around in the Orion DB and figured out that I needed to add the SNMP OID to the NPM_DEVICE_OIDs table in order to get it recognized as an AP. Now the APs show up in wireless and it displays the connected clients etc.

The problem is, when a client connects at 802.11N speeds, the speed doesn't display correctly in Orion. It says somthing completely out of whack like 6.5mbps when my wireless adapter says 144mbps. Is this a limitation of the current version of NPM/Orion? Thanks.

SolarWinds Orion Core 2010.1.0 SP1, NPM 10.0.0 SP1, NTA 3.7,

Can you upgrade to 10.1 and see if this issue persists? If it does, can you open a support ticket and include an SNMP walk of the device, you can do the following

Please download and install net-snmp from http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/

You can download the Win32 binaries here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/net-snmp/files/net-snmp%20binaries/5.5-binaries/net-snmp-5.5.0-1.x86.exe/download

It doesn’t matter what machine do you install it on, as long as it reaches the device.

Run this command from “installation directory/bin/”: snmpwalk -v 2c -c public -O netU 127.0.0.1 1 > output.txt

(change the IP address and community string accordingly)

Pack the file output.txt into zip archive and send it.
