netgear essentials wifi6 AX1800 Access Point WAX214v2 IS very slow
Hello everyone,
We use two AP(netgear essentials wifi6 AX1800 Access Point WAX214v2) for Wifi, but the wifi is very slow.
I have tested the LAN speed, when use network cable is about 800Mbit, but when use the WIFI connection the speed is only about 100Mbit.
Why is this? I have no idea.
And, the WiFi also often disconnects and reconnects.
How do i implove it?
Thank you!

Double check your Wi-Fi clients are able to handle higher speeds.
Ensure the WAX214v2 5 GHz Wireless is configured for fixed 80 MHz bandwidth, or at use the dynamic 20/40/80 MHz Channel HT Mode.

Lot of concurrent Wi-Fi systems on air at or near to the same location? Sounds like a typical interference issue.
Run some audit on what is ongoing on air, and try to change bot the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channel configuration accordingly.
What wireless client, client OS and driver version are you using for your test?
