Blazing Fast Wi-Fi 6E Speeds with the Catalyst 9136I Access Point!

Introduction and Test Topology

The video introduces the Catalyst 9136 Wi-Fi 6 access point and provides an overview of the test topology used in the demo.

Test Topology

• A Cisco 1000 series integrated service router is connected to a wide area network.

• The router is also connected to a Catalyst 9300 switch for wireless LAN controller.

• A Catalyst 9800L with copper 10 gig interfaces is connected to the switch as the access point.

• The access point used is the Catalyst 9136, which receives 848.3 watts from the switch for full functionality.

• The speed test server is a Mac Mini with a built-in 10 gig network interface card.

• The wireless client device is a Dell Latitude 5520 with an Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX210 adapter.

Double Link Configuration

This section explains the double link configuration used in the demo.

• A double link has been configured with a frequency of 6 GHz only.

• The security type for the link is WPA3, and optimistic wireless encryption is used for key management.

Speed Test on Wireless Client Device

This section demonstrates how to perform a speed test on the wireless client device.

• The wireless client device shows that it is connected to the configured SSID on the network band of 6 GHz.

• The calculated link speed on the client device is reported as 2.4 gigabits per second.

• To initiate the speed test, open a web browser in incognito mode and enter the IP address and port number of the speed test server.

• Click "Start" to begin the speed test.
