AX6000 (RBK852) WiFi in AP Mode seems slow (not double NAT)
Hi All, I have a RBK852 system (RBR850 + RBS850) setup in AP mode. (Firmware Version V4.6.14.3_2.3.12) When I speed test from http://routerlogin.com it consistently gives more than 900Mbps. (Most r...
Please provide the model numbers of the laptop and iPad. WiFi performance is usually only a fraction of the ISP speed and depends to a large extent on the type of WiFi adapter. There are several types of "5G" connection (n, ac, ax) which have different capabilities.
Yes,
The iPad is the iPad Pro M1 with the following WiFi specs:
802.11ax Wi-Fi 6
The laptop is a MacBook Pro with the following WiFi:
802.11ac Wi-Fi wireless networking; IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n compatible
What are the MIMO specs of the apple devices? 2x2 ? Higher?
Most 2x2 MIMO devices top our at around 300-600Mpbs depending on design and support and distances from closest source signal.
Most I have see on my 2018 MBP is around 700Mbps when close to a signal source. On average, it's around 500-600 depending on where I'm at in the home.
What are ethernet connected speeds using Ooklas installable speed test app and the PC connected at the RBR?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.
How many RBS are deployed?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR📡 and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Would expect higher speed from the iPad when connected to the router (in the same room).
The MacBook specs are confusing (802.11ac would imply 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac) 'ac' has higher speed capability than 'n'
Both of them clearly should achieve higher than 150Mbps when connected to the router, with the iPad exceeding the MacBook.
Depending on generation of the pad, they don't support AX mode thus no higher speeds than 1300Mpbs on 5Ghz AC at 80Mhz. I would expect the MBP to exceed speeds from the pad Since AX mode can see 2400Mbps on 5Ghz AX at 80Mhz. AC on 5Ghz would max out at 300-500Mpbs depending. Though should see near this while near the RBR in same room at lease.
