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...
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,

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.
Hi WhateverDude,
Let's have this issue investigated. Kindly contact our support team to create a ticket and prepare the following.
1. AP Logs
2. Network Topology
3. Placement, Distance, Security Setting, Channels used.
4. Wireless Client/s used including driver versions.
Kind regards,

The WAX214 is configured for the maximal available 80 MHz wireless bandwidth? Assuming it's a WAX214v2 hardware variant, since the WAX214(v1) is limited to a much to small nuber of channels - sufficient for a single AP on a single location only.
