Alex – NetSpot

As a quick workaround, try setting the Scan Interval to 10 seconds or more in Discover mode. This is helping our testers. Obviously Mac OS X is prioritizing access to WiFi, and just drops it for too intensive apps. Still working on a permanent fix. Still hoping Apple fixes the framework. In our tests OS X 10.10.2b2 still buggy.

We’ve updated the version of iperf3 used in NetSpot. The new build will be online next week. It’s our main understanding that the developers of iperf3 would apply the fixes in their code if they find them reasonable. We’ll keep monitoring this thread as well.

I think this has been resolved. Thanks, Daniel.

More users are reporting similar issue. Can you confirm that the problem takes place on OS X 10.10 Yosemite? If yes, is there any chance to test the same with the older Mac OS X releases (like 10.9.5)?

Daniel, thanks so much for reaching our via the forum. Searching or your requests now.

You got it. But: /help/talk/topic/using-external-wireless-devices/#post-2840

Right, we know what you mean here. We understand the overhead in user actions involved. This will be improved. I cannot tell you when exactly. But that’s also on the roadmap.
