Umarcus,
wireless throughput strongly depends on client wireless interface (1chain/2chain/3chain/etc.).
hAP AC and modern macbook may reach ~600-700Mbps, hAP AC to hAP AC ~700Mbps of real throughput.
So its my understanding that the new hap ac has wave 2 support?
Does that mean that the driver does as well? i.e. does it support all features of wave2 already or will that come at a later stage? Can the AP transmit to multiple clients on different spatial streams simultaneously?
Ok. May be it also depend on the CAPsMAN configuration ? If yes what are the most limit factor ? The CAPsMAN (in my case CRS124) or the CAP (in my case hAP AC) ?
My phone are able to transfer more than 130MBit for sure, I saw this while connected to an AcccesPoint of other Vendor in the same Network. It reports 5GHz / 866MBit WLAN connection in both cases, but in the end the hAP AC only gave a throughput of ~130MBit.
Love the POE switch. Is it really that much additional engineering expense to offer an additional version of these devices in a weatherproof case like the PowerBox? Do you believe there is no market? Outdoor equipment is the norm where we are.
only 2x2 chains? (hap ac and wap ac have 3x3 on 5ghz)
Would love a 3x3 2ghz and 5ghz design including PoE 802.3at/af support design! Stable Enterprise switches just don’t do passive-poe 24V and is a nightmare to configure (shorts if you don’t watch out)
Im seeing same max speed issues (on hapAC, wAP ac) , with EXTENSIVE testings (and side-by-side comparisons, in varied environments, to other mfg 3x3 5g ac products ).
I do find it very interesting that the new AC capable APs announced today (feb 18 newsletter) are v2 of the product line, yet are 2x2 chain (when v1 of the product line was 3x3 chains). Yet the v1 products act almost exactly as if 1 of the 3 chains is not working (or is malfunctioning) (at 2.4 and more so at 5g ac).
Dont get me wrong please, Im fully aware of (and use) the power of RouterOS (its un-matched at any price point), but there is a real issue with 3 chain 5g AC on these products.
On a different note, on the newly announced CRS112-8P-4S-IN (new 8 port POE SW !), can you use 24v AND 48v POE at the same time (ie like on the ubnt edgeswitch line)?, ie on the CRS112-8P-4S-IN , can you attach BOTH 24v and 48v PSU inputs and then have some ports @ 24v passive, and some eth ports @ poe at/af ? (on many installs ive had to put 2x 960PGS (hexPOE) rb’s next to each other due to needing more than 4x POE ports, or needing 24v on some eth ports (ie other MTs) , and poe on other eths (ie IPcams).
thanks!
