hAP AC Lite Wireless network speed issues?

Wed Mar 16, 2022 10:44 am

Hi,

I have hAP AC Lite working as wireless access point and noticed that my devices are connecting with low speeds (like 60/20 or 40/20).
Are there any settings I should check or it is HW problem?

Best regards,

Michal

Without seeing your full config nor knowing what other signals are present in your environment, it's a bit difficult to know what can be improved.
Also, how did you test ? Simple speedtest ? Did you also test using same device with cable connected (to have the correct baseline) ?
How fast is your ISP connection ?

/export hide-sensitive file=anynameyouwish
Edit file for sensitive info which might still be left.
Please post this config of your device between Code quotes

Quick comments:
- start with setting 5Ghz to AC-only if possible for your clients
- basic rates - increase to 11 or even 18Mb (or more ?)
- supported rates - untick all lower then what was set as basic rate
- TEST these settings with your connected clients !! Some devices might not accept higher rates !
- your 5Ghz is set to auto. So you don't know where it will end up. No possibility to select a channel which is clear from interference ? If it's really not possible, overlapping is WORSE then co-existence !!
- bandwidth for 5Ghz is not specified so I assume it's on 20MHz ? Try 40 or even 80 (depending on availability of channels)
- WPS is not specified, make sure it is disabled if not used

Other questions are not answered:
- did you test with a computer using cable towards that same hap ac lite ? What speed did you get ?
- what's your ISP speed ? If it's only 60Mb, don't expect more !
- how did you test speed ?

Regarding wireless speed - I referred to wireless speed on LAN, so my ISP speed was not a factor. I tested it transferring large file to ma NAS...
Thanks for hints. I faced some problems to change config with winbox and decided to reset config to factory settings and reconfigure AP from the scratch.
It helped to solve wireless speed problem :)

Best regards,

Michał
