Extremely slow WiFi
I have two Cloud Managed WiFi 6 (WAX615PA) devices that I purchased to setup a mesh network. I finally got round to setting up the first. I'm having a two problems with it, but the one I need addre...
Operating these WAX615 as wired access points (ideally on 2.5 GbE switch ports) or got trapped by the consumer-designation of a mesh system by configuring in an Insight Instant Mesh network set-up?
Each WAX615 can reach up to 2400 Mbps link rates on 5GHz in 2x2 at 20/40/80/160MHz bandwidth, and 600 Mbps in 2x2 2.4GHz on 20/40MHz bandwidth.
I'm not using Insight. I'm accessing the installed device using its web portal.
The switch it connected to a 10GE switch. I wanted to use the wired port for the backhaul.
Any ideas of how I can improve the speeds?
Hello ExWhyWhyZee
Could you please share the following details?
1. Firmware version
2. Network Topology
3. And please share client details and where you are running speed test.
What error you seeing while registering WAX615PA to insight?
Thanks,

I'll scan the network, while connected to the WAX615, and it'll come back with "No device found. Pull down the screen to try again."

What switch you talk of connected to a 10 GbE switch? One WAX615 in some (wireless?) Mesh config to another WAX615, or is there another switch (or multiple switch ports on that 10 GbE switch involved?
Still confused.
Note: Not al 10 GbE switches are supporting MultiGig links like the WAX615 does on 2.5 GbE.
the WAX615, and I'm only using a single AP right now, is connected to a Dell n4032 switch
