Hello,
Just wondering if anyone experienced similar /slow WiFi speeds on RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD?

The device is brand new, updated to the latest stable 6.43.7, using default configuration.

The situation is that on my 1gbit line I can reach 760/700 Mbits down/up via LAN interface.
However on 2.4GHz I can only reach 32/40 Mbits down/up and on 5GHz 120/216 Mbits.
It seems that device is just struggling on Wifi. There are a lot drops in the transfer speeds.

I provide my configuration:
# dec/14/2018 17:27:48 by RouterOS 6.43.7
# software id = 6S9Y-PY0E
#
# model = RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD
# serial number = XXXXXXXXXXXX

Just to clarify - I have tried to manually select WiFi channels to a lest busy ones and there is no difference,
Also on exactly same location with UAP-AC-Pro I can do 290/370 Mbits without any problem or drops in performance.

If anyone can point me in direction or share experience with the device I would be grateful.

Unfortunately I cannot give you a positive answer or an answer at all. I have two RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD here and both of them have very slow wifi. While AC is even slower than G/N. I tested with the factory 6.43.4, 6.43.7 and 6.44beta40. I have also the impression that the country settings do not really work as predicted as for example having country set to switzerland auto frequency goes to frequencies not "allowed" here. Stability on the 5G card seems very poor while 2.4 is better (but slow, never managed to get above 54MBit)

So I fear we need to wait for a new firmware. At least the standard configuration seems to have improved since 6.43.4 but for me only good for testing, later on not used at all.

RB4011 ia based on ARM architecture. The same issue is persisted on many ARM based devices like hAP AC2.. Will improve WiFi transfer speeds, but will take time to fine tune firmware.

Some Notebooks (HP with Intel AC Wireless) only connecting at 54MBit.... nothing new for Mikrotik users...

well hAP AC2 is already an year old and supposedly with solved issues. I was hoping that lessons are learned and there would be no issues with device which is "flagman" .

Thank you for your reply

Welcome to Mikrotik Driver specials for ARM....

It's quite ironic that the top banner for the forum is for 4011 and advertised 1733Mbps data rate...
One would guess and hope to be able easily to achieve at least 1/3 of this speed....

It is sad that something like that is possible. I know "rush to the market" strategy but if the selling point for this device is outstanding WiFi it should provide at least decent.. otherwise is pointless as device

Hi team!

One question: I have brand new Mikrotik RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD (international version) and I try setup WiFi 5Ghz with 160mhz. And have next situation: when I turn on 20/40/80/160 Mhz Ceeeeeee and apply settings I can't see my WiFi network.

I check with iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8 Plus, Macbook Pro 2011, 2014 and 2015 years... the result is the same. I can't see the 5Ghz network. But if I turn on 20/40/80 Ceeee all ok, but connection speed 878 Mbps, same speed I get on my old Mikrotik hAP ac.

What I make wrong?

P.S. I work with video and made this update only to increase the speed in local network. Help pls.

Some update.
After reading about past issues with hAP AC2 I decided to test with latest beta as suggested.
Downloaded and installed 6.44beta40

on 2.4GHz there was no change in performance - around 40/45Mbps
However there is slight improvement on 5GHz - 200/220 Mbps, but still very unstable, with lots of drops and spikes on speed.
On the side note - I thought that there was an issue with 5GHz network on this update, because it took around 10 minutes?!? for it to start after the reboot of the device.

Hope someone will provide more ideas or insights

5 Ghz can take some time because of DFS.

Thank you for the explanation.

Finally set mine up today... connecting at 172mbps. Speed is crap (under 100mb).

nevermind, moved the channel widths and it's much better.

I've been using my RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD-IN for about 3 years now with decent results (250mbps) on the 5GHz chains at best. I have decent devices but most of the mobile ones only get about 200mbps on the main 5Ghz network. Fast forward to yesterday, a friend of mine comes over and connects to the 5Ghz Guest network which is open and like magic he gets 370Mbs on a Samsung Galaxy S10. I don't understand why or how. Apparently there's more nuance than the RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD-IN has 'slow Wi-Fi'

Yes newer devices are better able to provide better results on wifi.
When I set up the capac in a mode that is geared toward only newer devices performance increased as expected.
I have a lesser powered CAPAC for my tests.

Speed test using OOKLA to my ISP provider and back through their network (out bell canada, back via bell aliant - 1gig connection)
Iphone 12 mini.
Capac LOS within 10 feet
using 5 N/AC 20/40 Ce Note: this is my standard setup for a mix of devices.
Down 195, Up 150
freq 5540

Using 5 AC 20/40 Ce
Down 256, Up 187
freq 5540

Using 5 AC 20/40/80 Ceee
Down 344, Up 275
freq 5500

However this couldnt touch my equally costing tplink eap245 (also wifi5)
With AC settings......
Down 621, Up 350
