Backstory:
I bought the 2-pack version of this, brought it home and set it up. After I go through the trouble of configuring it, it says there's a firmware update, so I do that. I'm currently at 43181. Both the router and node are at the same version.
It's configured it with Smart Connect with the 5Ghz-2 backhaul (as I was having connectivity issues with them all split out) and that seems to be working OK. The main router is in my office at one end of the house, with my main PC wired straight into it, while the node is on the opposite side of the house (where most of the clients are at) separated by about 60 ft and a wall, but this is really irrelevent as I've turned off the node for this troubleshooting.
When I do a speedtest from my wired PC, I get the full speed (~ 930/930) so internet speed is not an issue. However, when I do the same test from any wireless client (like my Android phone, using the app) I only get about 100/100 give or take. I used to get less than that (around 70 or 80) but after forcing some wifi frequencies and channels, I got it up to where it's at now. As far as the professional settings go, everything is default except the only thing I've disabled is the universal beamforming. This is with my phone connected at 5Ghz (confirmed by my phone and the router) to the router just a couple of feet away. There's nothing around the router or in between it and my phone that would cause interference.
I know others are getting much faster speeds but I can't seem to get anywhere near that. I've factory reset these (router and node) multiple times since I've updated the firmware. QOS was turned off for this test (but it wouldn't matter since my desktop was getting full speeds with it on). I've used some wifi analyzers to see what's around me and my router is not fighting against anyone else on the frequencies/channels i've chosen.
Current settings (yields the fastest speeds)
2.4Ghz 40Mhz Channel 11 (forced)
5.0Ghz 80Mhz Channel 48 (forced)
I'm already contemplating returning this product for something else. What am I missing here?
