I have had 900Mbps down, 300 up fttp installed today and now have to worry about the wifi being a bottleneck.

We have a Ubiquiti UAP-AC-LITE as our access point and I'm getting ~195Mbps on upload and download when I speed test on my phone and pc (using a TP-Link AC1900 wifi dongle). If I connect directly to the router wifi network and stand next to it I get ~800Mbps down, which suggests the access point is a bottleneck.

How does wifi even work with multiple streams? Is it limit per device (not so bad as we could have 3-4 devices with high-ish demand at the same time) or a total (a waste of 900Mbps if it can only ever supply 200)?

How can I solve this (other than wiring everything in)?

Ubiquiti UAP-AC-LITE

I have one of these spare if you want it for cheap?

Thanks for the offer but a firmware update (it probably hadn't had one for years) seems to have sorted it out! Changed to a DFS channel and 80MHz width, now getting 420D/310U on speedtest, which will do until I can get hold of an enterprise AP.

Do you still have this? @spotter

Anyone else with any UniFi APs to sell.

Need to sort out my Dad, constantly breaking stuff!

Thanks
