Exhibit Review:

The diagnostics panel for FortiAP FP231FTF2001 shows:

Tx bandwidth label: 150.54 Mbps (likely the negotiated or theoretical maximum).

Bandwidth graph (actual traffic): Transmit (Tx) bandwidth peaked at only ~3 Mbps over the last 5 minutes—far below the maximum.

Radio 1 (2.4 GHz) shows 10 interfering SSIDs and 40% channel utilization.

Radio 2 (5 GHz) is not the focus in the current graph.

Interpretation:

The significant difference between the potential (label) and actual (graph) throughput indicates that something is preventing the AP from delivering full speed.

This could be resource overload (e.g., too many clients, too much interference, CPU/memory constraints), leading to overall reduced throughput for all users.

The graph represents real-time/actual usage, not just the theoretical capability.

Option Breakdown:

A. Resources on FortiAP are overloaded which limits speed rates for all users

Correct. Overload (either due to too many clients, high interference, or hardware resources) is a logical reason why actual throughput is far below the possible maximum.

B. Label values are historical and provide average bandwidth

Incorrect. The label reflects the maximum link rate or negotiated data rate, not an average or historical usage value.

C. FortiAP is dual band and is transmitting data faster with a higher frequency band

Not supported by the evidence. The current data is for Radio 1 (2.4 GHz) and does not show high usage on either band.

D. Bandwidth is shared with other SSID signals broadcasting for nearby AP devices

While interference does share airtime, the drastic drop in throughput strongly suggests an overload or other limiting factor on this AP.

Summary:

The large gap between the expected maximum (label) and the actual throughput observed suggests that resource overload is the root cause of poor wireless speeds for all users.
