Please help me to configure wireless access point wAP-ac (RBwAPG-5HacT2HnD-BE) with router RB3011 (RB3011UiAS-RM) to have fastest possible AC connection.
Right now I’m using this access point in mode WISP AP and as wireless:
*Band: A/N/AC
*Channel with: 20/40/80 eeeC
*Mode: Bridge
This configuration gives me lowest pink ~8ms but speed is only 150-200 Mbps.
Can this AP work with full AC speed (1200-1400 Mbps) ?
If anyone is using this AP please share best speed and latency results ?
Mikrotik RB3011 i have max speed about 500Mbps over NAT…
hAP AC what i have, max speed 300Mbps i get. I think cannot get over 1200Mbps, (only 1G port, so max speed is 1Gbps)… But look your Mikrotik CPU when testing speed, if 100%, try remove firewall rules…
Do you have device what support 1300Mbps AC?
Hi,
I have a similar issue where i have the same Mikrotik router (RB3011UiAS-RM) and an AP (Netgear EX7000). When i connect the AP to the Router i immediately loose internet connection for unknown reasons. I am new to Mikrotik Routers so any help would be greatly appreciated. The message i get on my PC which is directly connected to the router is as follows: windows can’t communicate with the device or resource (primary dns server).
Any Help or advice?
Thanks alot!
I have MacBook Air which supports 1.3 Bbps AC.
“802.11ac network using an 80MHz-wide channel can deliver even higher throughput: 433 mbps over a single spatial stream,
867 Mbps over two, and a staggering 1.3 Gbps over three spatial streams”
Mikrotik access point is connected directly to my TP Link Gigabit Switch and I don’t use for this test router so much.
Additionally I have checked again RB3011 and CPU is just normal 10-15%.
In this configuration of wAP ac :
Band: 5GHz-only-AC
Channel With: 20/40/80MHz Ceee
In the Bandwidth Test between RB3011 and wAP ac I have 700-800 Mbps.
Right now I’m close to speed 400-500 Mbps (just 2 m from wAP ac), but I wondering if this Mikrotik access point can get AC with 1 Gbps over three spatial streams?
What application on your Mac uses this speed? Is there a REALLY need to have this speed?
What do you transfer over the WiFi link, and to where? If it are files to and from a NAS, then you are in the same subnet, so no NAT. And of you are watching HD movies on the MACbook, the “speed” is “only” 15 - 25 Mbps… Maybe bursts to 40 Mbps…
So why do you need 1300 Mbps (which is just bullshit marketing talk)…
This speed is needed when I would like to work on some movies 10-20 GB.
Transfer this movie to Mac and back to network drive.
I still wondering what is max bandwidth limit of my wAP ac and how to setup this correctly ?
“1300Mbps” is not actual data throughput speed. That includes the overhead. In reality, you are already hitting the top end of what a 3-stream AC access point can do. I’ve seen 500Mbps with a single device in an isolated RF environment. At home, I very rarely see anything about 400Mbps.
