I have set up a network and basically use the hAPx2 to broadcast multiple Wi-Fi access points, one for each VLAN. I have a 1 GBits internet connection from the ISP.
* If I plug in an Ethernet cable into the hAPx2 I get 950 Mbits or so, which is probably the max I can expect.
* If I use one of the 2.4 GHz I get about 120 Mbits
* If I use one of the 5 GHz I get about 300 Mbits
* If I broadcast the Wi-Fi with my FritzBox, I get speeds of up to 500 Mbits. Note that this is router is installed inside a metal cabinet, so I am surprised that it even has a signal coming out of it. Yet it is still faster than the hAPx2.. I disabled the fritzbox Wi-Fi for all tests with the hAPx2
I've tested for all Wi-Fi networks with 2 different computers that have Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6e adapters. The distance of the Wi-Fi is no more than 5 meters with a clear line of sight (It's the same room, on one side is the Router, the other is the computer. There is NOTHING in between the adapters.
I get about -50 (sometimes -46) dB on my antenna according to the Wi-Fi -> Registration Tab. The rate is also “explained”, as it defines the rate to be 229.4 Mbps at the time of writing. This varies occasionally. What worries me, is that I am in a crowded Office, with many other hotspots. But I mean, 5 GHz should be able to do 2.4 GBits, which is a far cry from 300 MBits. When I scan the 5 GHz network is see these networks: The 2.4 Ghz is far more crowded: Here is my configuration of the hAPx2
