We got Community Fibre 1Gb recently and it's great, but I bought a Unifi 6 Lite to help get it around the house effectively and I don't seem to be getting the advertised speed from it.
I've already got two UAP AC-LITEs and I get up to about 550Mb/s from them - what you'd expect.
But I get the same max speed from the Unifi 6 Lite, even with WiFi 6 devices (I've got a Pixel 6 and a new desktop with 802.11ax on the motherboard).
I've tried googling it and applying all the recommended settings to up the speed. Switching to a channel width of 80 got the UAP-AC-LITEs up to 550 max from about 250, but nothing else - including manually setting channels and power levels, and turning off mesh and band steering - seems to have made any difference. Ethernet cables all good, giving me 900Mb/s+
I was expecting to see 700 or maybe even 800Mb/s with WiFi 6 devices. Does this seem reasonable?
I'm on the verge of returning it because it just doesn't seem to be able to do the advertised speed. I know it's a first world problem but it cost £120 and my two AC-LITEs cost £70 max each.
I'd be interested in what speeds you were getting with your U6-LR AP @Velocio
Edit: Think I misread that and it's @atz with the U6-LR AP
