R650 - max download 500ish? Unleashed

silicondt — Tue, 26 May 2026 15:02:24 GMT

We bought and installed some R650. I cannot seem to get the download over 500mb. The upload goes to 920ish.

The internet itself is not the problem. I can hook a laptop with ethernet up to the "second" port on the R650 and pull 950/950.

I have tried every combination of channels at 80hz 5ghz. We have tried this at multiple locations also. (office, home, office 2) . I cannot pull over 500mb on the download only using speedtest.net

I am sitting 5-10ft away from the AP with clean line of site... I even tried lowering the power.

When I do IPERF tests it sort of reflects this also. Maybe a little higher on download (600-650) But the upload it max at 1gb(ish) speeds....

I have it manually set to 802AT and it does not complain about the power - but also noticed it never goes above 8-9watts. Why does it NEED 802AT yet never even go over 15 watts? hmm

Hello,

1) Could you please confirm the LAN speed in your network and share the result of the iPerf test, which you have performed?

2) Also, confirm which type of client device you are using for the speed test. If it is a Windows device, please share the output of the command below from the Windows CMD.

#netsh wlan show interfaces

3) When you are doing the speed test, please confirm how many clients are connected to the AP.

4) From the AP CLI, please share the output of the command below

#get eth

#get power-mode
