Hi I have a current setup that includes MS425 (stacks), M225 (stacks) and MR36 WAPs, as well as a Windows Cluster, Windows Server, and standalone servers. Connections between servers are either LACP/Team (2 x 10Gb), or individual RJ45 (1 x 1GB). Stacks are done via stacking cables, with LACP links to other stacks (eg 3 x 10Gb copper SFP connections) When on RJ45 connected LAN, we have good performance, but as soon as we go wireless, we are getting very poor transfer speeds (this is particularly noticeable on file access to windows servers, but does seem to affect other things - eg Group policy, DNS, Pings - one thing we don't get complaints over is internet speed). As an example, transferring a 300Gb file from LAN -> Wifi, will give us a transfer rate of 2/3 Mb a sec. Transfering the same file, from LAN to LAN will get us 100Mb+ speeds.This is similar when using Client > LAN > Virtual Server, Client > LAN >Clustered Physical Server (LACP), Client > LAN > Stand alone server (Single Connection). If I do two file transfers from Wifi -> Wifi on the same AP (for example a laptop to laptop) then it's around 30Mb a sec (which is what I would expect). As soon as the Laptops are on different APs (even though connected to the same switch) then the rate falls to 2/3Mb a sec. I've turned off meshing, I've had Meraki look at config (and recommended a firmware update as well as increasing the base speed to ignore wireless B), I've created Access policies with unrestricted (instead of normal), Fixed IP addresses, access via IP rather than DNS names. Basically, it's quicker to download a file from SharePoint, than it is to access a local server and download the same file.
