I'll offer another way to test throughput as well. Ruckus has a open source testing tool (called Zap) that not only tests throughput, but actual performance at different percentiles. For example, if your average throughput is 90 Mbps, that looks decent. But, if that performance isn't consistent, meaning the average is 90 but that means some was at 12 Mbpsand others were at 145 Mbps then that isn't good. The tool will output the speed that each percentile of data achieved. For example, at least 50% of all data achieved 210 Mbps, but 99% of the data achieved 122 Mbps.

For standard data transfer average speed is fine, but if you are trying to stream video or voice, high percentile is where it's at.
