Low Bandwidth Issue with NetBox5 AX Pair and MANT30 Antennas
Posted: Fri Sep 06, 2024 10:52 am
hi
I am experiencing low bandwidth issue with my MikroTik NetBox5 AX pair, which is paired with MANT30 antennas. Despite using 80 MHz and 160 MHz channel widths, I am only achieving bandwidths of 400 to 450 Mbps on 80mhz and 400 Mbps on 160mhz, respectively, within a single room. This performance is significantly lower than expected for these configurations.
Here are the details of my setup:
Device Model: NetBox5 AX (Pair)
Antenna Model: MANT30
Channel Width: 80 MHz and 160 MHz
Observed Bandwidth: 400-450 Mbps on 80 MHz, 400 Mbps on 160 MHz
Environment: Single room with minimal physical obstructions
Could anyone please provide guidance on troubleshooting this issue? I have already verified the following:
Firmware is up-to-date 7.15.3 stable.
Channel settings are optimized and not overlapping with other devices.
Devices and antennas are within a close range of each other with minimal interference.
