Nighthawk X6S ( EX8000 ) max connect only 866 Mbps
Hi guys, i have successfully instald new X6S Repeater, but max connect on 5 GHz band is only 866 Mbps and not full speed 1733 Mbps as should be generaly possible. The X6S is driven by Nighthawk X8 (...
It seems to be operating as designed. The EX8000 has two 5 GHz radios. One is capable of operating at up to 1733 Mbps and the other up to 867 Mbps. When functioning as a repeater, the 1733 Mbps radio is used as a dedicated link back to the main Wi-Fi network. The 867 Mbps radio is used for clients.
If you want to use the 1733 Mbps radio for clients, then you'll need to set up the EX8000 as a wired Access Point.

Hi TheEther,
thank you very much for your answer.
I already thought in this way, but i was not sure.
By the way : When i connect a client with a LAN-Cable with the X6S, then i should have the 1766 Mbps speed ?
