Hope you having a good time and still just that little bit of patience to help me here
I have been reading the forum on the wifi part and docs, been testing all i can come up with that makes sense to me but is clear that my sense is way off
; so kindly ask for your support to achieve my goal.My setup:
RB5009
HEX S
2 cAP AX
2 cAP Lite
Zyxel GS-12008
Goal:
Centrally managed wired and wifi network all by mikrotik, ditch the fritz wifi repeaters and have the 5009 managing the network along with the Zyxel to segment traffic in vlans.
Above all at least have close wifi performance as i had with the Fritz 1200ax repeaters where applicable.
Achieved:
All wired network works (no vlans for now) as expeted (well almost all or less but that is another topic);
All APs are managed by the RB5009 with the 2 wifi packages doing his job for the matching cAPs they should with auto provisioning and using most config templates;
Wifi clients roam perfect along the house, all devices connect;
WAN link speed:
Internet link is 1Gbit dl / 120Mbps upload
Problem:
And after trying all i could find/read/test/etc i can not make my wifi work to a level i consider acceptable.
I can be like 30cm from any of the APs and run some speed tests and get like:
-> 2ghz cAP Lite - 20/24Mbps dl
-> 2ghz cAP AX - 20/24Mbps dl
-> 5ghz cAP AX - ~380Mbps dl
I have tested leave everything in auto, manually set channels 1/6/11 and dont remember now the ones for 5ghz but always leaving 20 or 40mhz between them and no changes or if changed was worse.
I also noticed that if all auto seems that the 2 cAP AX tend to use the same frequencies and i do not know if it should be like this or not.
I have 2 SSID, one for 2ghz and another for 5ghz that i would like to be the same all over the house.
Can you please help me on a strategy and how to proceed to maximize my wifi speeds?
I must be doing something very wrong given the speed i get.
If more info is needed please let me know and i post here.
Thank you in advance for your time and help.
