inconsistent WiFi Speeds
Anyone else see where back-to-back speedtests go between high (400Mbps) and low (200Mbps) speeds?
you also have to make sure when the client switches its not going to 2.4 gig as this was catching me out during some testing until i switched off 2.4 gig on my client device so it had to connect to 5 gig only
I made sure that the Airport Utility (which is the only way to scan WiFi networks on a non-jailbroken iOS device) was not running at the time. I also ensured during testing that I was indeed connected to the 5ghz band (confirmed via the MAC address). However, I have some additional info, which I posted in this thread:
