wax214 AP - slow speeds
We just got a new broadband line in which should provide around 900-1000Mb/s throughput. I also have the ISP's router's WiFi active to compare speeds. ISP's router using WiFi I am getting 900...
Hi WhateverDude,
Welcome to the community!
Is the AP locally or Insight managed? Are you connecting to the 2.4GHz or 5GHz? Have you tried using other WiFi channels?
Kind regards,

- Hey Brian,
Thanks for the reply. Before restting I separated 5GHz and 2.4GHz and connected to each individually and got similar soeeds. I played with channels for the 2.4GHz but not 5GHz but similar speeds.
Currently it's all defaults, think it is auto selecting frequency and channels? Again, similar speeds.
What I did find interesting was upload and download soeeds are similar. Like it's only able to get to around 20Mb/s.
Thanks
Nathan - Just locally managed and installed in my home, connected with a PoE injector. I first had it on my old cisco PoE swktxh and wondered if using a PoE injector would help but did not change much.
Currently the AP is connected directly to the ISP's router via a PoE injector.Hi WhateverDude,
Thanks for responding. Were these new tests done with your main (Router) SSID disabled? Does all WiFi clients have the same behavior?
Kind regards,
BrianL
Yeah, I tried a few clients such as phone, pc and laptop with similar speeds.
I probably was not that pragmatic with my testing while both AP's were up.
