I know this has been mentioned to death. I have 2x hAP ax3 just for testing and no matter what I just can’t get over 40Mbps wifi performance without having an open SSID. I’ve tried many different channels power going all the way down to 6 along with antenna gain. I’m hoping it’s something I just keep over looking. I’m not a wifi guy but more an enterprise routing guy. I have the hAP’s as just AP’s really connected to a CRS with PoE that is connected to a CCR2116 that is my router. I have roughly 60 wireless devices in my house and my EAP-660HD’s regularly get up to 800Mbps throughput over 5G (I know they are 4x4 and better overall). I’ve not bothered with CAPsMan yet but I plan to have it running on the CCR2116 somewhere down the line if I can ever get these AP’s working better than my old 802.11G equipment. I’ll try almost anything to get these working better. I have them located in the extreme edges of my house and want to use them for my kids Xbox’s. Below is my config from one of my hAPs.
