Unifi AP Nanohd speed problems.

[csp-guy]

Hi Guys,

i am seeking for an advice about a speed problem of Unifi ap nanohd AP.

I have 1Gbit/300Mbit Wan connection.

I have unifi controller, plus pfsense, plus ISP router. I can use the full bandwidth using LAN cables.

The WIFI speed is no more than 300Mbit/sec. I tested all channels, all power levels without success.

The 2.4 radio is turned off, i tested 5ghz/40/80/160 bandwidth.

The link connection from AC clients to Wifi is 867Mbit/sec, from AX 1.3Gbit/sec.

I checked reddit, unifi support page etc, i tested everything, the channel coverage is very good, there is no interference with other AP-s.

Theoterically it must reach the 860Mbs speed limit of the AP, but i never get speed above 300Mbit/sec.

Thank you for the answer, ideas, etc.

Ok, but i am in EU, thank you, i knew the arcticle. I tried to RMA, but is out of warranty. The flat is small (80 sq meter).

The transfer rate on wifi will never be the same as the PHY rate outside of a lab and perfect conditions. And usually not even then. Wifi is not duplex and has a lot of overhead. Without a RF site survey, it's really tough to say more. Also, using 160 MHz channels in a dense environment is asking for trouble; you mention that you live in a flat, which I assume is the equivalent to an apartment in the US and therefore implies relatively dense housing.

In general, I expect to get throughput of 1/2 of the link speed if my network is running well. That is kind of how wifi is.
