RAX200 Owners - 2.5 Gbps throttling? Can you get >700 Mbps upload speeds with 2.5gbps and 5Ghz ?
Hi All RAX200 owners,
Are you able to achieve upload speeds higher than 700 Mbps using the 2.5 Gbps port and the 5 Ghz band?
if you are, can you please post the fw version and hw version if any?
I have not been able to pass 500-600 Mbps when using the 2.5 Gbps port. If I use the 1.0 Gbps port then no problem at all. It seems the 2.5 Gbps port is throttling the upload speed with or without QoS. Same problem on AP mode.
I was able to push it to ~620 Mbps by configuring the QoS to 1000/1000 Mbps but Netgear does not support anything higher than 1000 even if you are using the 2.5 Gbps. So the QoS setting does not support an entry to match the 2.5 Gbps port either.
Test 1
Laptop <--- 3 ft from RAX200 signal level -27dbm Tx/Rx wireless 2402 Mbps /2402 Mbps --->RAX200 Port 2.5 Gbps <--->GS110EMX <--> NAS/Local Speed Server Upload speed limited to ~500 Mbps / Download Speed ~900 Mbps
Test 2
Laptop <--- 3 ft from RAX200 signal level -27dbm Tx/Rx wireless 2402 Mbps /2402 Mbps --->RAX200 Port 1.0 Gbps <--->GS110EMX <--> NAS/Local Speed Server Upload speed ~900 Mbps / Download Speed ~900 Mbps
I replaced the GS110EMX with a different multigig switch and same problem. No interference problem based on inSSIDer information. 2 different laptops, different brands and different WiFi Card same problem. Tested from iphone and same problem. Using 5ghz band. I am running the latest firmware and tested 2 previous fws same results. I am able to duplicate this problem 100% of the times.
