Looking forward for some solution. MIkrotik devices are pure lottery, identical hardware/configuration which works for some, doesn't works for other, including me (I have same device).

kkuuser, sounds like your 4GWan is about as good as 2.4ghz on the downside, but the TPLINK should improve your up speed.

@ksuuk, most 2.4ghz is rated at 300Mpbs applying my 1/3 rule the best one should hope for is around 100Mbps one-way real world, any more fantastic, much less not good and your probably going through 1-2 walls for sure.

Cap AC does not support 5G. It does, if You are lucky, it supports 2,4 and 5GHz.
But either You got faulty device (welcome to the club) or You are too far from the device (5GHz = max 5m in my case), of the 5 GHz interface is disabled.

I have spend a lot of time on the UBNT forum, mostly helping others. I think that forums in common are the best resource for solving problems. Especially because you get support from a community.

@ksuuk, it is obvious that you are disappointed in MikroTik. And I agree on some points.

Concur, most people get it wrong, this is not plugNplay you have to set it up properly. As I have said, the whole Mikrotik logic is wrong.

It would help if you post config.
I get around 300 mbit /s on my cap ac

ksuuk

Do you guys have any idea how to boost my connection?

Been there, done that, honestly - sell/dump Mikrotik and buy some other brand product.

ksuuk

I had this too... looked very weird .... could not believe it because it worked before without a glitch..... https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=160376 So as You had problems, then You actually lied in Your other post - https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=160943#p79278...

Don't call the devil - if Mikrotik -s current wifi devices range is about 30% of other vendors, then their 5G devices connection probably works only being one meter from it.

ksuuk

Trust me, as soon You set up the whole system, coverage and speed will be the main problem, so better use one router for all or one router for every apartment + extra non Mikrotik accesspoints.

ksuuk

Do any MikroTik wireless access points offer near gigabit speeds?

No. And remember, that normally Mikrotik provide max 50% of spec -s speed.

ksuuk

You wrote in another thread, that you don't have neighbors nearby and that the spectrum is free from other networks at your place. So, of course if does! Yes, true, but the real (noticeable) difference for me is disabling route cache and fasttrack, then I can get sometimes almost 50% of the lan spe...

ksuuk

I don't think sitting 10cm from the router helps in any way. If it is configured incorrectly it will work incorrectly there also. If you have interference, you can have interference there also.. I don't think it's miss configured. You are getting less then half of the max speed. With fine tuning Yo...

ksuuk

This does not seems to be true. Changing to 20MHz on 2.4GHz improved the speed greatly. Yes the theoretical speed is halved, but in real world, I can get 5x better speeds on every device...

This seems work in some conditions only, at least for me the 20/40 Ce gives better speed than 20 only.

ksuuk

No I'm using iperf and speedtest tools also (like speedtest.net and fast.com) But I don't get you. What is different in real life? I have a lot of local devices which I can and have to access so these has nothing to do with WAN speed (copying files locally for example). Also if you have a slow WAN,...

Around 10m away from the router, same room Have You made tests next to the router? As if You can't get decent speed next to the router, then the router is just bad and no matter You adjust, speed won't get better. But if next to the router speed is good, then adjusting router place, antennas etc, m...

ksuuk

WAN speed is not all. I also test it with iperf for example which tests real speed, not just some speedtest server speed.

You are testing local network with iperf? If so, then if You are using mainly local network > wan, testing local network doesn't help You much, as real life is different.

Tuning is tuning, and that is sometimes more an art than a science. But I love to do it.

Yes I also thought about testing it, I will try it soon when I have some time.
