Define the device and its configuration
Record the model, firmware build, operating modes, supported bands and relevant features. A result without this context is difficult to compare later. Decide whether the evaluation is for an access point, client, mesh node or a complete system.
Choose a baseline
Begin with a controlled RF environment and a simple traffic condition. Establish single-link performance before adding MLO, additional clients or interference. This gives later observations a reference.
Match instruments to the question
MT-C24 provides reference clients, MT84-A varies path loss, and MT-Wave introduces controlled interference. Packet capture helps explain behaviour that a throughput total alone cannot show. A shielded enclosure helps isolate the device from the surrounding RF environment.
Agree the acceptance criteria
Choose the measurements and limits before running the comparison. Depending on the use case, the useful evidence may include throughput, loss, latency, recovery or frame-level observations. An observed result is not automatically a pass or fail.
Retain enough information to repeat it
Keep firmware versions, radio settings, RF-path details and traffic parameters with the result. When a problem appears, repeat the same condition before changing one parameter at a time.
