Do you mean wifi setting as in the router? Basically just the normal default. S8+ just connect by itself as usual. Me not advance user so everything by default. I would also suspecting the router CPU at the limit.

Unifi 500Mbps, CPU1 @98% in reality still can sustain daily load, not that you are using the bandwidth 100% flat for 24 hours This post has been edited by neuromancerx: Sep 16 2018, 11:23 PM Attached thumbnail(s)

WS880 should route at Asus AC66U or AC68U level. Around max 800-900Mbps in one direction. Has anyone tried with original firmware?

QUOTE(fkinmeng @ Sep 17 2018, 10:53 AM) So WS880 can't support turbo upgrade?  Can if you are on Cat5e/CAT6 wired. Tested with full speed 500 Mbps with CAT6 on TM Speed test. 5G so far only max at 240++ with tplink Archer T9UH and Samsung S8+. WS880 will see significant drop of speed if you are 1floor away.

Maybe you get better results with newer firmware and also your house layout. I am still using it though because couldn't decide the next upgrade and tentatively lock down on tplink archer c3150  . Eventually waiting more feedbacks and on low budget too.

Tested with CAT6 cable, my laptop to the switch is 1Gbps, but speedtest is still reaching 210Mbps, and 1 cpu core at WWS880 router reach almost 100%.

NAT setting? Check under LAN - > Switch Control - > NAT accelerationg - > Auto Edited. Did you have QoS running? Should disable to test again. This post has been edited by muncheno: Sep 17 2018, 04:40 PM

The QOS tab was hidden until I enabled BWDPI, no wonder I couldn't find it. After disabled QoS, the speedtest increased to 268Mbps, still not able to reach 300Mbps, anyway, I'm going to downgrade to 100Mbps Unifi, I don't really need the 300Mbps

Anyone with WS880 regardless of stock firmware or flashed to vortex/merlin and currently using Time Fibre?
Apparently they are rolling out speed upgrade for all current packages.
How's the speed you guys are getting?

I am now with unifi turbo 500mbps but my speedtest result is 300mbps. I am considering that it is my router problem but still not 100% confirm. Currently is RT-AC55UHP, CPU reached to 100% when speedtest reach to 300mbps download speed. Most of the time steam download was just around 20MB/s. Feels like the router is not powerful enough. So I was ordered a RT-AC86U, hope will confirm soon whether is my line problem or router problem.
