Realistically you should expect speeds on 5Ghz with LOS, in the range of 173/3 = 575Mbps and for 2.4Ghz around 100Mbps. 2.4ghz will work reliably through one wall and okay through 2. 5ghz will work okay through one wall I am beginning to think that my expectations with the WiFi driver on this route...

My MTU is 1480 and I don't have any issues.

I also have IPv6 enabled.
What exactly are you using?

Sometimes it depends on your ISP

heidarren

Try to decrease MTU, not increase. My MTU is 1480, I have IPv6 enabled, Netflix failed to load, what I did is set MTU in IPv6 to 1440 and Netflix works again. I end up settle in keep original 1480 MTU and use clamp-to-pmtu, now everything works

Try to use normal channel with fixed frequency, like 5180 Ceee

heidarren

MSS problem, try to use "clamp-to-pmtu" to fix it, or manually lower your MTU

Which wlan interface are you using? Maybe you can share your setting here and someone might help you to fine tuning it. My experience with Audience is max speed 480mbps with my iPhone 11, interface wlan3(5G2), average speed is 400mbps and low speed is sub 300mbps.

The only way I can reproduce the same speed drop in ap bridge mode is set AMSDU to 2048, which is far lower than standard, not sure if CAPsMAN is using this value as default.

I was incredibly excited when caps-man first came out. I spent months tweaking and coming up with some really neat stuff. Mimicking features found in wireless systems costing 10-20 times more. But...

I got an R510, IPQ4019/4029(not sure which) based, got average 500mbps+ and 600mbps max speed of download, coverage is wider than Audience too, makes my Audience looks like an k12 student.

heidarren

I have updated the first post with the local forwarding config.....

If the AP is doing all the traffic related work, why is there still such a significant drop in performance?

No idea why, but why do you need CAPsMAN? How many CAPs you need to manage?

heidarren

How does one relate to another? :) You can use 20MHz channel and still use MIMO. All those spatial streams operate in the same channel(s). I did not state that you could not use 20MHz channel with MIMO .... I did state that if you want PERFORMANCE you must use 40Mhz ... performance means speed........

heidarren

Why would CAPsMAN produce slower speeds? Not sure, I suspect they are using 2048 in AMSDU, I got the exactly same speed by setting it to 2048 in wireless interface. If that is really the reason, why doesn't mikrotik "fix" it? I'm just guessing maybe this causes the problem, so I did email...

Can't understand, why not to introduce 1 simple setting: if 5Ghz signal level is over 70 (for example), do not move client device to 2.4Ghz, even it has much better signal level?

heidarren

interesting insight, thanks. i, with my hap/wap ac have limited experience, but can you compare audience to anything else in terms of signal coverage, random drops.... or perhaps, since it uses 2 5ghz interfaces, can you see difference between them in speed or coverage?

For 2.4GHz, try use only 20MHz instead of 20/40, use wpa2 aes only, set indoor, basic rate 12/24, supported rate 12~54, enable WMM. I got a pretty good speed like about 80~95mbps, but it really depends on your environment and client

5.5 - 5.85 GHz is standard wifi channel, it equals to channel 100 to 165.

Update: Windows 10, Thinkpad x270 with Intel 8265 connected at 866 Mbit/s (2x2:2), clear spectrum, iPerf 3.1.3, about 50 cm between Thinkpad and the access points. 1. MikroTik cAP ac with IPQ4019, RouterOS 6.45.5, CH36 (80 MHz) 2. Cambium E410 with IPQ4019, CambiumOS 3.11.2, CH36 (80 MHz) 3. Mikrot...

Access List in CAPsMAN, select interface and set TX limit for example “5M”, do note that the “M” here is Byte not bit

There’s been a lot of technical logics been discussing, it seems like MikroTik is doing the right way, but the only result is : BAD. As an end users, we only care about the result, no matter how high end or how deep you can go for to explain it, we just care about the result. If MikroTik is the only...

For sure CAPsMAN can do roaming, but how about the experience of it? Video call hangs for 2~4 seconds during roaming and total throughput is low, I dunno why it will slow the things down as I monitored the CPU usage and nothing special, CPU is just about 10% (1 core 50%+-), I have really no ideal wh...

After spending about few weeks tweaking, tried countless methods just for improving roaming experience, I give up. They just don't designed to work together, the roaming experience is so bad no matter how I try, AP bridge/Mesh with same channel/CAPsMAN/AP bridge with disable RSTP/ enable PMKID..... ...

I tried it all, CAPsMAN gives me the best roaming experience, but it will reduce the max download speed from 470mbps to 360mbps, if your ISP speed is lower than that and you will be totally fine. Btw my setup is cAP AC2 + hAP AC

Simple logic, if MikroTik selling 2 models with exactly same specs but 1 of it with k/v/r, selling at the same price, which 1 will you choose?

It's funny to see us discussing something that WE DON’T HAVE, while other users from other vendors are enjoying the benefits of it

I expect to see those Apple forums will do the same way to discuss something like “Why we don’t need 5G”

heidarren

Best solution is something support 802.11k/v/r, I don't think mikrotik got these right now True, but when I saw a video from YouTube, a MikroTik guy said "When the spectrum is fully used, it's nothing we can do" I know I shouldn't have any hope with MikroTik wireless, they had showed thei...

Hardware: hAP AC2, cAP AC Software: 6.46b38 I got the Wi-Fi roaming issue on my iPhone XS MAX(iOS 12.4), while other devices like iPad Pro 10.5"(iOS12.4/13b7) and Huawei P20 Pro has no problem for roaming. My phone will drop the connection during roaming and reconnect to the nearest AP after, i...

I have both in my hand, hAP AC2 and cAP AC. hAP AC2 has combined antenna for 2.4G/5G https://habrastorage.org/webt/ij/zu/k5/ijzuk5fkghrn1votvlxrtg5j_3g.jpeg cAP AC has dedicated antennas for 2.4G/5G https://fccid.io/png.php?id=3602640&page=0 Wireless performance for both are the same, fast but i...

My experience with this hAP AC2 with 6.46b28 firmware after fine tune can gets 470mbps with my iPhone XS Max, and 440mbps with my iPad Pro 10'5, upload both 206mbps (My ISP max speed), really nice result even though the speed is not stable, sometimes will drop to sub 300mbps. The problem is when I ...

heidarren

The current solution for me to have high throughput and smooth roaming is: 1. No CAPsMAN 2. Set both APs to AP Bridge mode and Dynamic Mesh with same channel 3. RSTP will handle the rest to avoid loop by using LAN connection as root port(Cost 10) and wireless connection as alternative port(Cost 100)...

What is the difference between "Cap" and "Home ap dual" quickset If you /export compact the configuration? I will export it once I have free time, my family members start to complaint for the down time recently, and kids starts screaming once the Wi-Fi drops, so I can’t keep doi...

Hi, I think I've found where the problem came from, it was causes by the software for upload test, tried another method and everything's fine, thanks!

Look for Local Forwarding

Yes I did, those results are local forwarding result, CAPsMAN forwarding result even worse.

Device: hAP AC2 / cAP AC Problems: I've noticed if I set either of them into router mode, for wireless upload, it will limit from 400mbps to 200mbps and CPU usage will raise crazy high, is there something I can do to reduce it? If I put either of them into CAP mode, the upload speed will back to nor...

I've confirmed the problem, when I use Quick Set "Home AP Dual", my Wi-Fi upload speed will be 200mbps, if I use Quick Set "CAP", the upload speed will become 400mbps.

All my wireless setting is same, very strange issue.

heidarren

I’ve found something interesting, i switched the cAP AC to quickset home dual AP mode, and applied the same wireless setting, now the upload speed become 200mbps, comparing to CAP mode 400mbps upload, maybe something wrong with the quickset preset or the driver. Will try to switch the hAP AC2 to qui...

I only have this 2 units in hand, now I'm using hAP as router and cAP as CAPsMAN, and all wireless in both devices set as CAP. Really weird, same setting but CAP mode will decrease speed from 450mbps to 360mbps. Also, I'd noticed the upload speed is different in both devices, I can get 400mbps+ uplo...

I’m using hAP ac2 and cAP ac, with latest update, everything works fine, very happy for the performance. My Wi-Fi can get me about 450mbps download from both hAP and cAP to my iPhone XS Max, but the roaming experience between them are really bad, lost about 10 pings and disconnected before getting n...
