Re: Help: The theoretical rate of the device is 2.4Gbps, but the actual bandwidth test is only more than 500Mbps

This is now improved. The actual wireless speed is close to with what can realistically be achieved, but you have room for improvemement. I think you could get 800Mbit or around that.

Re: Help: The theoretical rate of the device is 2.4Gbps, but the actual bandwidth test is only more than 500Mbps

Btest is a bad way to do tests, because it needs to "create random data" on the device, and this loads the CPU.

Just do normal iperf tests from one PC to another PC, so that connection goes through the router.

there is an option to disable fractional scaling for winbox, you will then have to use winbox built-in zoom to make it bigger, but there will be no scaling issues due to Windows problems
