thank you.note also that wap ac is not the fastest, max net-throughput with local bridge in my experience is around 300 mbit/s (wich is not bad for a device in this price-point)
please see below, APs MAC address I replace with 'xxx':In real life (no matter what hardware you use) you will generally get up to 1/2 the transfer speeds with regards to your link speeds.
As for your config, can you post an export from your capsman manager device? This provides more details to be able to help.
thanks.I don't really see anything wrong with the config, but I would definitely see if capsman forwarding is your issue. Check the cpu on your ap and router while doing iperf speed tests.
You might want to see if you have overlapping channels too close to one another since you are using 80MHz channels. Many times going from 80 to 40 will help if there is a lot of inference. The link rates will be lower, but the speeds will be more consistent.
If you set the data path to be local forwarding=yes, be sure to delete the cap interface and reprovision the radio via capsman.

thank you.Yes and then to reprovision it will recreate it

thank you, I'll try...Don't use wpa-psk as authentication-types. Ever. Only use wpa2-psk.
Don't use overlapping channels (also on 5GHz) and use specific extension channels (use Ceee instead of XXXX).
First for the OP, where do you see this 866 speed that you keep stating and specifically what does this have to do with wifi throughput??In real life (no matter what hardware you use) you will generally get up to 1/2 the transfer speeds with regards to your link speeds.
As for your config, can you post an export from your capsman manager device? This provides more details to be able to help.
hello, as you said, then my case speed is 867Mbps the really speed is 867/3=289 and it's normal?First for the OP, where do you see this 866 speed that you keep stating and specifically what does this have to do with wifi throughput??In real life (no matter what hardware you use) you will generally get up to 1/2 the transfer speeds with regards to your link speeds.

Reading the spec sheet, the 2.4 speed is stated as 300, and the 5ghz speed is rated at 1300.
I do note they say AC1600 which seems nothing more to me that 300+1300=1600
If you are talking the advertised WIFI speeds then you havent paid attention or have been duped by marketing.
Typically one will see TWO WAY speeds advertised while we as users tend to think one way, up or down.
So, lets say for the 5AC, as biomesh pointed out the expectation should be a starting point of 1300/2= 650 one way speed for the 5ghz network.
However that is theoretical and doesn't take into account normal propagation losses through air, cabling etc,"
Then we have to factor in any walls or physical obstacles in the way of the signal
Then we have to factor in any electrical appliances and lighting or currents in the house that may affect/interfere with signal
Then we have to factor in any competing devices such as other WIFI radios.
The best rule of thumb is the 1/3 rule. 1300/3= 433 should be what you are seeing give er take on the device.
In your case then, there is definitely some issues. With a LOS connectivity you should reasonable expect to get +400Mbps.
I have a capac and through two walls and one cabinet(solid wood) and all the other issues about 40down and 30 up on 2.4ghz and 15 down and 10 up on 5ghz.
and yet the unit drawing a straight line is not that far from the receiving unit (firestick).
867/3= 289 is what I should be able to reasonably get for 5ghz
300/3= 100 is what I should be able to reasonably get for 2ghz
Which goes to show you cannot overcome physics magically of obstructions and interference.

Not sure what requirements (and expectations) you have, I get a solid (little over) 400 Mbps on my cAP ac.maybe the time to change to orthers WiFi devices.
which one cAP you'r using?Not sure what requirements (and expectations) you have, I get a solid (little over) 400 Mbps on my cAP ac.maybe the time to change to orthers WiFi devices.
I’m able to get about 480mbps from my cAP ac, Audience and hAP AC2, 3 of them has the same maximum speed.....Not sure what requirements (and expectations) you have, I get a solid (little over) 400 Mbps on my cAP ac.maybe the time to change to orthers WiFi devices.
Hah, get used to it, it's "pretty" decent for mikrotik to give you 200mbps for 866 clients.
Please speak for yourself...these results I have since a very long time. WiFi is a shared medium, you can't compare to other situations based on personal experience.P.S. And don't believe these ones upahead telling about 400-480 mbps - I've reached 750 mbps with wAP AC for 1300mbps client - but that was only !once, for a couple of minutes and I couldn't repeat that result, no matter what.
Now it's only ~260-280 mbps, with the same client, same wifi card, same wAP AC and the same settings. Because mikrotik wifi perfomance depends on moon phase, weather...everything!
I know that yours 400 mbps doesn't mean anything, since I've had 42-48 MB/s couple of months ago, then it degradated to 30 MB/s, now it's only 10MB/s - and nothing literally changed in the area these wAPs are operating!Please speak for yourself...these results I have since a very long time.

Agree, u may get very high speed for a moment, then dropped to a much lower speed, it has nothing to do with setting, no magic here.Hah, get used to it, it's "pretty" decent for mikrotik to give you 200mbps for 866 clients.
Wanna wireless better - search for other options. That's as it is.

Besides your personal frustration presented as being the standard situation, you mix up units.I know that yours 400 mbps doesn't mean anything, since I've had 42-48 MB/s couple of months ago, then it degradated to 30 MB/s, now it's only 10MB/s - and nothing literally changed in the area these wAPs are operating!
So just wait half-a-year when you have maximum 280mbps, afterwards firmware bugs will come...
That´s without CAPsMAN.E.g. On a wAP ac with RouterOS 6.47.2 on 5 GHz (80MHz, 5180) and a Windows 10 laptop with Intel AX200 which is right next to the wAP ac (<20 cm) and is connected at 866 Mbit/s, the maximum download is 287 Mbit/s and maximum upload is 171 Mbit/s. Those are the maximum values I get with iPerf3 after some runs to a local 2nd computer which is connected to the same switch as the wAP ac. WPA2 PSK with AES is being used with default settings on the wAP ac.
Not 3-5 of course, but only ~300 employees total.Sometimes I think Normis and 3-5 other guys are the entire Mikrotik workforce
MikroTik is hiring: https://translate.google.com/translate? ... 2Fdarbs%2F:The moral of the story is that if MT hires bpwl now!!!, ubiquiti will go out of business and Normis will be able to keep his partner!!

At least MikroTik Wifi is "wysinwyg" . ("n"=not) This gives many mysterious performance results.MT Wifi = Mystery
Try settingBut the rate at which the beacons are sent changes from 6Mbps to 1 Mbps, even with mode "n-only"
I know what to expect.Try settingBut the rate at which the beacons are sent changes from 6Mbps to 1 Mbps, even with mode "n-only"
1. the basic rate to 12 Mbit/s
2. mode g/n.
3. disable all b rates (supported+basic)
5. activate all supported rates >= 12 Mbit/s
Let´s see what beacon information you get afterwards.
One posting later it says:According to the dev who helped to port OpenWRT (Robimarko) to the hAP ac2 and other IPQ4018 Mikrotik products they're using QCA drivers but their AP implementation it's not standard compliant and lacks the wave 2 feature set
It´s hard to believe, but MikroTik really writes their own wireless driver. MikroTik regularly confirms this in it´s forum, e.g.:
viewtopic.php?t=145047#p713800
"You are right, that MikroTik made wireless driver doesn't have Wave2 support, so new chipset benefits are not there. We are working on a new driver."
They use their own wireless driver package, which is independent from the linux kernel:
viewtopic.php?t=153685#p761102
"Since at the moment v6 and v7 uses identical driver and software for wireless, your observation is most likely a coincidence. The performance should be the same, signals also."

We really need to get hAP ac2 into official OpenWrt branch...PD: I know I can just enjoy my OpenWRT powered ac2 and leave this forum but advanced routing features (like VLANs) are more polished on ROS.

Microsoft Network Monitor neither NPcap drivers work on my new laptops (WIN10, 64bit). So capturing wifi beacons and management packets is gone.PS: If you do want Microsoft Network Monitor 3.4 you better hurry. Microsoft removed the install file from their archive. Softpedia still has it .... NM34_xxxx.exe
). Good for an experiment when surrounded by video streamers on other brand AP's that do support the WMM priority. I think the regular best-effort will not get a fair share of the transmission slots under heavy load conditions, as VI(deo) priority uses much smaller Contention Window timers. viewtopic.php?t=183101#p912637 (Yes I'm mixing several posts, this is more for that other post)It is the role of the edge router (facing Internet) to check or set the the DSCP, for the rest of the local network.I'm assuming the data coming in from my CCR passing through a queue picks up the DSCP, and once it hits the CAP, priority in the CAP is set from those bits?
Do I need anything special set in the CCR gateway router to ensure DSCP is set? Is that set from the queue or from the ISP/source of the data?
OK found it. VLAN filtering was enabled on this bridge, so "use IP Firewall for VLAN" had to be enabled as well.Have to check again.
), dummy counters didn't move, copying the "special dummy rules" gave the non-Fasttrack counters running as expected. There was no need to remove the Fasttrack rule but I disabled it to be more deterministic.
