WAX214 maximum real world throughput issue
Hi, I've just installed a WAX214 access point. The maximum throughput I can achieve using 5Ghz Wifi 6 with 80Mhz channels is about 540Mbps. I realise that real life speeds are less than the the...
Not to be entirely too silly, but that sounds really close to the max theoretical 2.4GHz speed (570Mbps).
Also, it's not too far off of being 1/2 of the max 5GHz speed. Bandwidth tests are being done without other interfereing pre WiFi6 devices connecting to the 5GHz channel? They are being run from the WiFi device to a wired device, and not between wifi devices?
All that being said, the peak I saw on my WAX214 was ~550Mbps as well (~6GB file move from laptop with AX200 to NAS - NAS is capable of ~2000Mbps when transferring from my 10GbE desktop to the 2.5GbE NAS with HDDs).
I am in an extremely noisey RF environment, though.
