Slow speeds on WAX620 for 2.4Ghz
Hello, I recently purchased WAX620 and I am having problem with 2.4 Ghz speeds I am on latest firmware (V10.7.5.3) and I’m using my pixel 7 for testing. Speeds on 5Ghz are OK go around 800-900...

Hi Peh321
Thank you. This means that the AP is capable of giving out the same speeds from your network. It's just the 2.4GHz network is congested in your area that's why it giving out less compared from your old AP. Maybe consider moving it to another spot or location. Or if you're okay with it already we can just simply leave it as it is.
Kind regards,

Not really. But 2.4ghz is a pretty slow network. 150mbps is actually considered pretty decent for 2.4ghz.

OK, I agree that it is decent, and I know that I would never get 5 Ghz speeds but 2.4Ghz can operative to my knowledge around 450 Mbps or 600 Mbps in best possible scenario. Also, previous to this AP, I had Xiaomi router that I set up as AP and in nearly same spot had around 200-300 Mbps on 2.4Ghz...
