Ubiquiti

Is that 10Mbps when you're checking the speed that the NIC is connected at, or when you're transferring data?

Check that you're connecting using AES encryption rather than TKIP, which doesn't support 802.11n.

Go to wireless settings on your ubiquiti
Chang wifi mode from "b" to "b &g"

That's because you're use wireless mode "b" witch transfer data with maximum 11mgbs

it doesn't have b, it says "ng "

Check the encryption :-)

It doesn't give me the option to change it says PSK

I'm using the Unifi console they have.

You should be able to see if it's using TKIP or AES.  If it's using TKIP it'll be limiting you to 54Mbps radio link.

it's WPA-Personal and AES/CCMP only

you mentioned that you are working with Unifi Access point this not designed to work standalone
How many Unifi`s unit you have
are all Unifi at any place work with the same 10 mbps issue

I Have one AP and yes it can work alone. it works, just the speed it not what it says it is.

I get now download of 20 mbps. but not even close to the 300mbps it says it should be.

i know it can work but i said

Unifi Access point this not designed to work standalone

the point here this kind of access point for ubiquiti designed to work in a group it`s also not cheapest

Are we talking on the same product??

UniFi APs are resigned to work alone OR in a group.

Anyhow, @alonig1 - have you tried changing the channel on the AP?

craigbeck- Thanks for the clarification .

Yes, I scanned my area to see what channels are being used by other Wifi in next to me, still the best im getting is maybe 50mbps download which is not even close to the 300mbps it says it should. my internet speed is 100mbps. (which I get wired).

OK.  Do you remember the explanation I gave before about the difference between physical link rate and actual throughput rate?

You should only expect around 130Mbps throughput at best.  I know you're not getting anywhere near that but you need to check whether your client's link speed is 300Mbps first.  I doubt it.  Maybe 270Mbps but not likely to be 300.

Also, check the 2.4GHz channel-width on the AP.  If it's set to 20MHz you won't see anywhere near 300Mbps link rate - more like 144Mbps.  That would bring your link down to around 65Mbps maximum throughput.

That would explain speeds less than expected.

Ok I changed it from HT20 to HT40

I'm getting close to 70 (67) mbps

Anything else I can do?

What's the link speed that the NIC reports?

You don't really want to use HT40 as it is affected more easily by interference.

144.00 mbps

im using iphone and I was at one place I got 100/100 mbps

now I'm getting 20-30 mbps

the 144.00 is on a laptop...

144Mbps will give you no more than around 65-70Mbps throughput - ever.

Can you install Acrylic Wifi Free on the laptop and let it scan for a couple of minutes, then post screenshots of the tabs please?

I can see many networks and  graphs just to send you that , or something else?

Send what you have please :-)

other tabs are empty

So, you've got 2 APs broadcasting the 'myhome' SSID?

Yes, each in a different spot .

So when you're in the living room you'll connect to the one there and in the room one.

Ok.  Like I said earlier, you don't want to use HT40 (which you are using on your TP-LINK AP).  Can you see it's set to channels 1 + 5... that's interfering with your Ubiquiti AP.

I'd change the channel on the Ubiquiti AP to 11 and try again.

As well as that, they're both using TKIP and AES.  Not a problem; just make sure your devices only use AES or they'll be limited to 54Mbps physical link.

When I change the Ubiquiti to channel 11 the speed drops.

I tried using the Ubiquiti as AES, now it's faster.

Ok, were you closer to the TP-LINK AP when you took the screenshots?  The RSSI suggests you were.

Could you take the screenshots next to the Ubiquiti AP please?

What speeds are you getting now you're using AES?

I was closer to the Ubiquiti all the time

Wow!  You need to reduce the transmit power on the TP-LINK AP then.  The RSSI says you're practically sat on the TP-LINK AP there.

If you're 10ft from the Ubiquiti AP, using AES what do you get while it's on Ch11?

I disabled the TP link and left only the Ubuquiti on channel 11 the software says channel 11+7

I'm getting 40 mbps.

Now I got 6mbps down

the software says channel 11+7

So you still have the Ubiquiti using HT40.

That's going to cause you problems because Ch7 overlaps with Ch6, which seems to be largely overcrowded.  Switch it back to HT20 and test again please.

I think here you may just have to accept that you'll never get close to 100Mbps at 2.4GHz in your environment - there's just too much 2.4GHz in the vicinity.

Or also could be that the NIC on the laptop doesn't reach more then 144mbps , right?

Exceptional support.

Pleasure mate, glad to help :-)
