Hi,
I have an AP122 running HiveOS 8.4r8.
When I perform speed tests over my local WIFI network (from local server to user PC throug AP122), I only achieve at most 200Mbps.
This data rate are not related with user PC since the test has been done with a windows10 and a MacBook (both users download at 200Mbps at most).
On the other hand, test has been performed at 5GHz intrerface and at a few meters direct line-of-sight from the AP.
iperf results from windows10 as a client and AP122 as a server showed at most 95Mbps of bandwidth.
Moreover, AP122 is configured without any QoS policy (by default, it limits the data rate to 2000Mbps per client).
To finish the exposure, I have run the tests using two different routers (an Arcadyan from my ISP and a Mikrotik rb960) obtaining the same results. Of course, eth interfaces autosensing is set to on and showing 1Gbps.
Results with built-in WIFI ISP router (not using AP122) are about 400Mbps.
Some help will be appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.

For a two spatial stream device, such as the AP 122 which is a 2X2 device, you would be reaching the maximum wireless speeds already. This MCS chart is a good reference for seeing what speeds are possible within certain numbers of spatial streams: https://www.wlanpros.com/mcs-index-charts/. Your wired speeds and wireless speeds will never match, we can expect at least a 50% drop between wired and wireless speeds, and that is without an interference in the network which is not the case here.

Dear Sam,
These tests are performed with a local NAS (Network Attached Storage) so no ISP constrains here.

What is the max throughput available from your ISP? Could you send tech data from the AP 122 so we can take a look and start narrowing things down?
To get tech data using HiveManager (formerly NG, cloud.aerohive.com):
Tools> Utilities> Get tech data> Check the box next to the device> Get tech data (blue button at the top of the page this time).
This guide reviews how to get tech data from the CLI of the AP in case that is more convenient:
