RT-AX58U wifi - poor speed

[tqlis]

330 Mbps is more than adequate for a mobile phone IMHO. I don't know what other clients you have, what their specs are or what you use them for.

Other clients are the same, even laptop -
I ordered AX wifi card for it.
Wife has new iPhone and speed test shows 450Mbps yesterday and I don't know how many stream is on it. I will check tomorrow.
Thsnk you

No, 300Mbps is more then enough for a phone/tablet and most browsing/streaming devices.

- use Performance for Tx Power, Power Save turns the router into 1-stream
- use control Ch.36 @80MHz bandwidth, Ch.52 is in DFS range and on radar detection your Wi-Fi will cut off

Thank you.
Done what you mentioned.

Because on Power Save your router is 1-stream, this means up to 574Mbps link speed (80MHz wide channel) to AX client or ~440Mbps throughput. What you see is exactly what is expected with your settings.

When I tested it was set on max.
Only yesterday I changed Tx power to minimum for tests.
Normaly is always set on max.

So why producers boasts speed to 5400Mbps when with standard clients (laptops, smartphones, tablets) I will newer reach it.
Another question is, why people pay for 2Mbits ISP if they will never reach that speed via wifi?

I think I will do some mess at my house and put some wires to the rooms where laptops are. Off course not CAT 5 - it could be shot in the knee. Mybe I think about fiber glass in case.

This number is the sum of all maximum theoretical speeds for all radios, used for marketing purposes.

Because higher bandwidth plans sometimes come cheaper; can be used for aggregate traffic wired + wireless on routers with 2.5GbE ports; where 160MHz bandwidth is usable AX can reach 1.7Gbps plus newer BE routers on 6GHz band can go higher. Is it needed for home network? - perhaps not, but everyone is making own decisions. Faster than 100-200Mbps ISP usually don't improve browsing/streaming/gaming user experience, just allow faster downloads and better speed test numbers.
