Slow EA-AC87

[CommanderZ82]

Hi forum

I am new here inside and I hope to get help from you guys.

I have installed an PE-AC88 in my PC. WIth my former ISP, I reached in AC 5GHz mode almost 900 MBit/s ( It is an 1GBit/s connection), which is quite good for Wifi.

Now, after changing the ISP, I am running an FritzBox 5490 as Modem. I connected a EA-AC87 in AP mode ( Firmware Version:3.0.0.4.374_2849) .

If I connect my PC with Ethernet to the AP, I will rech about 950 MBit/s (up/down).
Connect via Wifi, the max. speed is around 500 MBit/s. (Try already to hane postion (last setup was 2m distance between AP and PC)

I checked forums and all, but I could not increase the speed. Also ASUS support is not helpful.

I found out, that in the in the Wireless LOG, the folloing is listed:

MAC Associated Authorized RSSI Tx rate Rx rate Connect Time
F4:E1:1E:09:22:E7 YES YES -62 dBm 120 150 33:2013:-118754
D6:8D:4A:E6:6B:26 YES YES -58 dBm 390 433 11:718:-39567
A4:45:19:FB:63:29 YES YES -73 dBm 390 7 00:14:44
2C:FD:A1:CE:F6:E4 YES YES -47 dBm 1170 1300 00:09:51

Last entry is my PC with PCE-AC88. Does I interpret right, that the speed, given by the AP is 1170 MBit/s? (Tx rate). So that means, that the problem seems to be in the network card? It is prooble to connest the 4 antennas of the PCE-AC88 wrongly? ( order of connected antennas?)

Does anyone have an idea where the bottle neck is? Doea anyone have the firmware, which was already written in other threads long time ago?

Thanks in advance

The AP WiFi is rated 5.0 AC 1734 Mbps. You can expect to connect (link rate) at less than that. The log indicates 1170 and 1300 Mbps, which seems good and reasonable. WiFi is half-duplex with some overhead loss, so expect actual max speeds less than 1300/2 = 650 Mbps. You measured 500... I'd say what you see is what you get for given conditions. You could move things around to see if it improves a touch.

As for the 900 Mbps with the former ISP, the provisioned service speeds may have been faster... the WiFi device connection may have been faster. You have not told us what those parameters were.

hi

Thanks for your reply.

The only thing I know from old ISP is, that it was a UPC GigaBox. 5GHz AC as Standard. I have not found any technical documentation of it.

Does anyone have still this FW higher than 3.0.0.4.374_2849 ?
