WAC505 slow wireless speed
I've been chasing a speed issue for some time. I finally discovered it's the Netgear WAC505 in place providing very slow wireless speeds. Tested with 2 Dell laptops, ipad & iphone gives around 3 Mb...
Thank you for the replies and suggestions. I finally did what I should have done from the beginning, a hard reset. Resetting through the software didn't work, I had to hold down the reset button for 30 sec to set to factory defaults. I'm getting 200+ Mbps down now. Maybe this post & solution will help someone else stumped by slow speeds on this AP.
I appreciate the suggestions. Screenshot of settings is attached. I understand this laptop doesn’t have the newest wireless card, but it should do better than 14 Mbps. Attached to an old N-150 AP it’ll do 50 Mpbs.
