I opened a case with Ubiquiti, but I would like to get you all's take on it as well.
I have an Unifi AC Lite (https://www.ubnt.com/unifi/unifi-ap-ac-lite/) from Ubiquiti Networks, and it was one super-annoying feature. The speeds accessing the Internet are slow. Not the local network, the Internet. I know that doesn't make a lot of sense, but bear with me.
So my setup (single paths) looks like this:
Wireless
*Internet*
-fiber-
LIGHTBLADE (Linux server and router)
-CAT 7-
DLINK DGS-1008G
-CAT 7-
UBIQUITI Unifi AC-Lite
-5Ghz AC-
BLACKLOTUS (my workstation)
Wired
*Internet*
-fiber-
LIGHTBLADE (Linux server and router)
-CAT 7-
DLINK DGS-1008G
-CAT 7-
NETGEAR GS205v2
-CAT 7-
BLACKLOTUS (my workstation)
My connection is fiber-based, 500/1000 Mbps.
So when I try to do a speedtest or download something from the internet, I get somewhere near 40Mb down, 400Mb up. If I move directly beside (okay, 3 ft away from) the AP, it goes to 75Mb down, 420 up. That's on Internet bound traffic. If I do the exact same set up, but wired, I get 400-500 (fluctuates often) by about 950. So I know my connection is good for way more bandwidth.
Now here's the kicker. I connect to that exact same router/server (Lightblade in my diagram[?] above) that my internet goes through and pull files, I get ~240Mb down and up to about 400Mb when super close. So there's something definitely not right here.
I've reset everything in Unifi Controller, changed nothing but the Wireless Name and Channel, and it does it from a clean slate. I've also tried changing network port on the DLINK, but that had no effect.
Anyone have any ideas? For now, I can live with it, I'm just mystified by this.
