Just upgraded, but want to level set performance expectations w/AX630, PR60x & MS510TXM
What performance/speed should I expect with 2Gb internet Xfinity Gateway Xb8, Pr60x Dual WAN router, MS510TXM switch and 4 WAX630 APs with at least 2.5gb port connection going between them? I recent...
Hi,
Please change the 5GHz channel width on the AP to 80 MHz if it is on 40 MHz (default setting) and check if you see the improvement.
On Insight cloud management devices, it can be done by going to Location => Wireless => Advanced => Wireless Settings page.
On the devices running in standalone mode, please go to Management => Configuration => Wireless => Basic => WirelessSettings from AP GUI.
Please make sure that all the APs are assigned non overlapping channels after increasing the channel width. otherwise devices may face co-channel interference resulting in lower throughputs.
Thanks!

On the WAX630 and the likes, put it up to either dynamic 20/40/80/160 MHz, or fixed to 160 MHz bandwidth (location permitting).
Hi Pramendra,
I confirmed within Insight that all WAX630's are set to dynamic 20/40/80/160 MHz. However, no improvement.
But as a method of troubleshooting, I unplugged the WAN1 (2.5Gb Xfinity connection), and now all my wired devices are now back to connecting at gigabit, and wireless device is >500mb. So although the PR60x shows up, at 2500 on WAN1, the issue seems to be between WAN1 port and the XB7-T Xfinity Router. I am going to continue troubleshooting but wanted to share that update. Next I will try the WAN1 into a non 2.5GB port on the XB7-T Xfinity Gateway.
Any recommendations? Maybe swap out the gateway and or PR60x?Would you please run a speed test from PR60X?
GUI -> Troubleshoot -> Speed Test -> Test Speed
Insight -> Device -> PR60X -> Troubleshoot -> Speed Test
Currently, PR60X firmware has an issue with WAN/LAN traffic when WAN/LAN link speed are different.
The data flow from fast link to slow link may have issue, for examples:
WAN1 2.5G
LAN1 1G
LAN2 2.5G
LAN3 2.5G
WAN2 10G
LAN4 10G
Following traffic may have issue(Depends on device capability)
WAN1 -> LAN1; WAN2 -> LAN1~LAN3; LAN4 -> WAN1
Other traffics from slow port to fast port are OK.
We are going to fix this issue in next firmware release.
If you could not solve the issue by adjust port flow control settings, please open a support ticket with us, we should be able to provide temporary workaround for you to use full bandwidth your ISP and devices provide.
- Hello,
I decided to return it all since I didn’t get the expected performance.
