QUOTE(bsm @ Feb 9 2019, 09:39 PM) Oh ok. Also I know that 5g is way faster, but why is it that the speed tests on 5g always show ridiculous speeds? I'm getting 150-200Mbps on it. Which is obviously not true since I'm on a 100Mbps connection. Is it during the first 2-3 seconds? My Speedtest also initially shows crazy 400 mbps upload speed, before settling down to 100 mbps upload. 5 GHz AC Wifi, especially on 160 MHz channel or MU-MIMO, can really reach near gigabit speed. |

QUOTE(name11 @ Apr 29 2019, 11:45 AM) Dear Shifu! 2.4ghz can actually reach 130mbps with 2x2 devices provided no neighbour signals.Wondering if anyone has concrete answer on what's the maximum speed while we perform 2.4ghz test? Am using unifi 500mbps with Asus AC66U. The speed that I tested is around 70+ Mbps which I think it's weird. (About 3 feet from router). Huawei P20 - considered top notch model yes? (Give up 5ghz as my house has concrete walls that is hard to penetrate through). Am considering whether it's my router problem or should I change to AC86U... Need to know your home's layout & existing router location before further advise. |

Link boost refers to using both Wifi & 4G. There's another version using both 5GHz & 2.4GHz Wifi.

QUOTE(JuzJoe @ Feb 1 2021, 01:22 AM) After doing some more research and contacting Unifi customer service I've managed to improved my connection speed from 45 mbps download speed to 270mbps. Is it correct to say that If I changed my router to an AX/wifi6 router I will be able to improve the download speed? I have a PC with onboard wifi 6 adapter and the current router that I'm using is the old TM Dlink DIR850L router (Black cylinder). My PC is connected to the router via wifi 5ghz frequency Yes, huge improvement. |
