Hi, I’m AndyV.
I recently purchased a HAP AX2 (update to 7.14.3 + qcom done) to combine with my home modem to create a personal LAN / WAN.
I tried both with a “quick set” configuration and with a hand-made configuration, but I encounter the following problem: some devices are unable to reach the speed that they can achieve if connected to the home modem.
The speed between modem and AX2 via ethernet is 1Gbps (as it should be).
The home modem is a “Vodafone WIFI 6 Station” equipped with a 6E wifi card.
The specifications of the HAP AX2 are known.
I tested the following devices and got the following results (download/upload):
iPhone15 → Modem = about 700/550 Mbps
iPhone15 → AX2 = about 200/400 Mbps
iPhone15pro → Modem = about 700/550 Mbps
iPhone15pro → AX2 = about 700/550 Mbps
pc with RTL8852AE → Modem = about 700/550 Mbps
pc with RTL8852AE → AX2 = about 300/400 Mbps
pc with Intel AX200 → Modem = about 700/550 Mbps
pc with Intel AX200 → AX2 = about 300/400 Mbps
iPad5gen → Modem = about 550/400 Mbps
iPad5gen → AX2 = about 150/300 Mbps
I attach the hand-made configuration currently loaded on the AX2.
Can anyone explain why some devices manage to reach the correct speed, while others fail?
I have also done tests with other devices (not written above) that manage to reach the correct speed.
I don’t think it’s something related to the devices’ wifi cards, because connected to the modem they can perform correctly, while connected to the AX2 they don’t.
I’ve tried to provide as much data as I can.
Any help will be considered invaluable, I’m literally going crazy…
Thank you all!
