Essentials WiFi 6 AX1800 Access Point WAX214v2 - 5 Ghz Speed

Having purchased this I appear to be getting 300 - 400 Mbps on 5 Ghz.

All other - other units - are getting 900 Mps.

i have tried differny phones etc and devices and I always get the same result.

Is there some setting which is causing this speed reduction?

    Hi mawallace44,

     

    Kindly check the Channel, HT mode, and the radio transmit power of your 5GHz network. The optimal channels you can choose from are 36, 40, 44, 48, and 149-165. For the HT mode ensure it is set to 40MHz or 80MHz and the transmit power should be set to full.
