hAP AC serious performance issues

Hello

I have deployed two hAP ACs in the same layer 2 network. Unfortunately I’m not able to get proper transfer speeds no matter what I try. Usually I get about 16mbps but if i’m lucky it can go “up to” 160mpbs. I’ve tested the scenario with different devices all capable of AC wifi but it just isnt working.

I think I’ve read all related or just maybe related threads regarding my problem but I’m still out of luck.


steps I’ve done so far:

upload/download tests
local forwarding
central forwarding
autonomous AP
AP reset
different power levels
static/dynamic channel assignement
tried both radios with different channel widths in 5G
tried different software versions (thats why I’m running the RC right now)
played around with hw-retries

please do not get confused by the name of the SSIDs :wink:

What am I missing?

thanks in advance!

How are you checking the speed?

CAPsMAN? Which is the cAP device and which is the CAPsMAN device? Need fuller schematic. Also, yes, how did you check the speed?
