WiFi Bandwidth connecting at half advertised bandwidth WAX620
| 5GHz | 4×4 AX: Up to 2400Mbps (20/40/80MHz) |
2.4GHz | 4×4 AX: Up to 1200Mbps (20/40MHz) |
Configured the WAX620 to 80 MHz bandwidth, and using a 4x4 capable wireless client for your bandwidth comparisons?
What wireless client is in use for your test?
I have realized my issue. I really need to swap out for a WAX615 or 625. Not sure why Netgear did not include 160mhz in the WAX620.
None of my devices are 4x4, and doing a quick search they are relatively non-existent. I need to alter my setup to appropriately support my network devices.
Does this forum have a place for people to sell their devices?
The reason 4x4 AP exist (while virtually no clients have it) is in the design basics of 802.11ax and it's standardization. Two concurrent active 2x2 clients can act independently. 802.11ax is the first standard not having the peak maximal theoretical throughput in mind.
I have this same issue...Trying to test with two concurrent active 2x2 clients acting independently. AP= WAX 620 / Switch = MS108EUP / NIC= Intel AX411 160MHz. All network devices working except when 2 clients connected to WAX620, The combined max throughput for a speed test on both devices at the same time is not equal to approx 1500 mbps typical/2400 mbps theoretical . For Example, device 1 = 250mbps, device 2 = 570mbps. It seems each device should be utilizing more band width over the CAT6A cable connected to 2.5GBE. All access point cables tested with PC and get 2340mbps over 2.5gbe. They basically max out at 1200 mbps total throughput. Since the above issue is consistent on all three WAX620 APs, I assume user error or error in settings??? They are all set to 80 MHZ no overlapping channels . Curious if you have any thoughts for next steps,,, Thank you!
