Wifi slow speed on AX6000

Hello , I have put 3 AX6000 on my network.

My service provider 1Gb, Speed test on LAN : 125Mb. on WIFI 19MB!

 

However, the satellites are connected to 1Gbs switches which are also connected to 1Gbs LAN.
On each switch where the satellites are connected, in LAN I have 120Mb in Wifi less than 20Mb.

 

I have try to reset factory, same pb: slow wifi connection, In 2.4 an 5GHz. My house is not big (under 100m²) And only 3 houses around me.

 

How can I do to increase the speed of the wifi?

Thanks.

  • The 1 Gb to 125 makes me curious if you test on the LAN in Gb/Mb (bits like carriers do) or MB as computers count data transfers.

     

    Similar, for these 19 or 20 on WiFi - Mb/s or MB/s? Testing on your LAN or to the Internet?

     

    Last but not least, what mobile WiFi clients are used? This is where o e would expect the big differences coming in after streamlining the units on a good set-up like yours.

  • Is this a Orbi system? If so, which model? AX6000 is not a model #

     

    What CAT# LAN cable are you using? 

    What is the Mfr and model# of the ethernet switch in the configuration?

     

    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.

    Having too much wifi can also cause problems. For that size home you only need the RBR.
