Dear community !
However im long therm MT user, ill post this topic under this category, since i feel like a total beginner now. I created this topic just to understand "what is going on" in my home and pour ot my heart... I appreciate any idea, workaround, explanation, response if you have time and mood. I will also accept that you will consider me a fool, but at least I will know that the problem is "with me".
Couple of years ago, i replaced my old RB951 with hapAC3. I was pretty impressed that time with the wired-wireless speed of my new device. As time has passed , technology/competition has advanced and i encountered some issues with new Apple and IoT devices i decided to swap to RB4011+RM and also benefit from "160MHz Wireless network". This was a huge mistake and after releasing the new Wifiwave2 drivers even bigger mistake (because of known lack of 2.4GHz support here). However i always prefer cable connection, demand on stable and fast WiFi in our household is always larger. I sold my RB4011 and started to search for the right replacement. As i wrote on different topic, i have a spare unused hap .ac2 (in case of something...), so ill started with fresh ROS (7.10/now 7.13.5) with Wave2 drivers. I was totally impressed by the coverage and speed of my wireless network !! I have great coverage in comparison with my previous mentioned devices, with insight, steadily and always achieving speeds between 520-560Mbps on .ac wifi with this device, approx 6-7metres away from the router, what is in our 75m2 apartment maybe the furthest place to "use Wireless connection", except other rooms "behind the walls" ! After that, i immediately borrowed back the .ac3 for Wave2 test, used exact same software setup, placed in exact same location and made some readings from the same places. The 2.4Ghz network had the approx. identical performance, but 5ghz was significantly worse ! This means, in place where i reached 200-230Mbps on .ac2, i had measured around 60Mbps with .ac3 (because of lack of 5ghz coverage). It was a disaster on 5Ghz in every single place ! Time for ax3 and ax2. Both of devices performed in my environment absolutely identical, no mentionable difference noticed. I was able to get approx 600-620Mbps, but only 1meter away from the router ! When i made measurements like i did previously, ill get around 100-120Mbps lower results with most recent MT ax devices as on .ac2, same distance, measuring point, setup, client device !
I dont understand what is going on, and i am convinced that I have not made a mistake. Every single device i tested was installed with NetInstall as a "fresh device", with Wave2 and absolutely same configuration. "Im pretty happy" now with .ac2 performance, since this is something what I haven't experienced till now with MT Wireless, but we all know that this device isnt future proof... Actually it isnt "tomorrow proof". Running with 650kb free space, rejecting any future updates (to avoid issues during updates because of lack of space) isnt a good feeling, also the "WiFI5" standard is maxed out yet.
During "research" were present also different .ax devices like Synology RT6600AX, ASUS EBR63 and Linksys MR2000 to have some comparison with other brands and "everything was done in couple of days". Used HE Network Tools (iperf3), WiFi SpeedSpots on iOS, Speedtest...
Friends, do you have any rational explanation for the described mystery and facts, as I have tears in my eyes already... ?
P.S. - Thank you for reading this far
P.S2 - Please, write somebody ROS image into RT6600AX and take my money !!
