I just got my FortiAP 231F and I have an IoT ssid in tunnel mode and my regular ssid in bridge mode. I get much better throughput on the bridge mode ssid but on the IoT tunnel I get almost 8-10dbm better signal on the same device in the same spot. Why is there such a difference in range?
I'm not aware of any radio performance or coverage improvement when the SSID mode is changed from bridge to tunnel. Basically nothing changes from the end host <-> AP communication, the changes affect the uplink and the traffic between the AP and the Wireless controller.
