RB 4011 running CAPs-MAN slow wifi

Mon Apr 11, 2022 6:10 pm

Hi All

I have an RB 4011 and two cAP ac administered by CAPs MAN.

Everything in Mikro Tik is running router board OS V 6.49.5

The two cAPs are connected to the 4011 with Cat 6A cable

I have an Apple TV 4K box connected to the RB 4011 with Cat 6A cable. Using speed.cloudflare.net on the Apple TV 4K box I see speeds of 496 - 510 Mbps at the Apple 4K box.

6 meters away from the cAP I see 35 - 50 Mbps on most wi-fi clients (both Apple & Android)

What do I need to do to my settings to improve my wifi? Certainly the RB 4011 is able to pass the 500 Mbps speed through its ethernet with zero degradation.

Should I try to use (Tools > Bandwidth Test) to check the speed between the RB 4011 and the 2 cAPS?

If I do that and see acceptable speeds there then I can focus on the wireless setting for the cAPs. Is this diagnostic path sensible?

How must I change my wireless settings to improve my wi-fi throughput and speed?

UPDATE:

Using SPEED TEST I checked the speed of the ethernet connection between my cAPS and the RB 4011.

One shows 980 Mbps the other shows 970Mbps.

Now I think that that the CAPs MAN settings and the network settings on my RB 4011 are OK.

As a NEWBIE / ROOKIE it seems to me therefore; that I should FOCUS my troubleshooting work on the radio settings for my 2 cAPs .

Does anyone think that I am jumping to conclusions?

Does anyone have any advice or guidance on how I should proceed to OPTIMIZE my radio / wi fi settings?
