Test setup :
iPhone14proMax-iperf3 client ->->->->->-> cAP-ax--------Poeinjector---------Ryzen7 laptop+dhcpserver+iperf3 server.
I get 500Mbps average result in a 5GHz/ax/Ceee channel, tcp mode, is this an expected value ?
Single of multiple streams?
How does the wifi config look like?
I would expect more.
Five streams
Only 5GHz radio enabled, no channels configured, just basic configuration with SSID, security and datapath - bridge1 with ether1 port)
Curious thing: 500-550 Mbps with iPhone @1mt from AP, 800Mbps with iPhone @10cm from AP (speed as good as unachievable situation).
Yeah, 500 Mbps on 5 GHz ax to an iPhone 14 Pro Max is totally normal. Real world TCP speeds are always lower than the advertised PHY rates. If you are on 80 MHz and not right next to the AP, that is actually a solid result. I would not worry unless you are seeing drops or unstable throughput.
