Ubiquiti UniFi AC AP Slow 5Ghz speeds

[irBosOtter]

What speeds do you guys get with the AC LR AP's? Mine stuck on about 18MB/s
Replaced a TP Link D7, got about 35MB/s with that one.

No other devices connected while testing and does not matter if I am 2m away or 10m away, speeds the same, uplink is 1Gb to the AP
Read I should be at least getting 30 - 40MB/s
What I have tried:
Disabled Guest wifi
Set power to low, medium and high, no luck, fastest on high
Changed channels, no difference
Changed to vht80 from 40, that took speeds to 17MB/s from 9MB/s
Disabled 2Gh radio, no need for that, but did not help with speed increase

Only one SSID, it does tag a vlan, not sure if that will slow it down, anything else I can try?

30 to 40 on mine through a wall

Try updating the firmware? If that does not work I would reset the device and set it up again.

Do a wireless spectrum scan

On the latest firmware, will try a reset tonight

Do a wireless spectrum scan

No interference when I did the scan on 5Ghz, was some on 2Ghz but disabled that radio

Oh didn't see LR. Mines a lite.

I had a similar issue with a D9 funnily enough. What I did was set it up with USA as my region. I then selected channel 160 on the 5Ghz spectrum and I got the specified throughput. Might be worth a try. The selected channels can have a profound effect on performance.

Also check what speed your network connection is displaying under properties. 867Mbps is best. I suspect you currently getting around 480Mbps based on your 18MB/s speeds... Messing with your selected channels will alter those speeds.

They have the same 5Ghz internals and should get the same speed on the 5Ghz radio, think the only difference between the two are the 2Ghz radios

I do connect at 867Mb (when closer), will change region tonight and test thanks

My lite is setup as follows:
2G Radio:
Channel 1, HT20,
Power: low

5G Radio:
Channel 157, VHT80
Power: Medium

The AP is located downstairs and I get on average 100Mbps using Wi-Fi Sweetspots upstairs, regardless of which band I'm on.
Next to the AP on 5G looks like this:



Maybe you should reset the device, do a firmware update and start from fresh
