Slow Download Speeds R710 Unleashed

[max_p_eogltxsc8]

Strange issue with R710 on latest unleashed firmware. Upload speeds consistently incredible on both laptop and phone but downloads even from 5 ft away never go over 200 but stay consistent through 3 thick walls. Speedflex on android shows 550 up 550 down to AP. Iperf reflects speedtest.net results. Cable shouldn't be the problem as I have plugged my laptop on it and gotten the gigabit fiber speeds I should be getting. I have factory reset it countless times set everything to auto and tried manually setting the bands and channel width, am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated.

Hey, has anyone tested with just the stand-alone firmware?
Whenever possible, I try to remove any other client device from the network (i.E. I'm the only client on my LAN or Wi-Fi) just to remove any other variables from the equation. Regarding speed, I prefer to use an application like IPERF3 to help me sort speed issues, as speeds fluctuate wildly, and it's more insightful to use applications like IPERF3

My Results using Iperf are as follows - my "server (Wired)" is 192.168.1.132 Client is a Macbook pro - Mid 2014

The IPERF software is available at the URL below. For testing, you will need the software running on two different machines. One running in server mode(-s), the other running as a client(-c)

I hope that helps SOMEONE!

yeah... have tested with ipref3 using my older macbook pro 15 2011 but that's 802.11n..... functions fine with 802.11n devices.. just have issues with 802.11 ac iOS devices on my end. .. I don't have any android devices to test with.  I could look for a iperf3 app to purchase on the app store.. I don't plan on getting any new macbooks or PC laptops til next year.

No purchase necessary!

But, you've still got to come up with a wired 'Server'. Got anything with Gigabit ethernet you can plug in?

[andrew_giancol1]

Also, have you tried just using the stand-alone firmware? I ran my R700 on that for literal years without any issues.

Thanks for the tip for the app. Yeah already have iperf3 server running on my Plex server.

Two days ago, I tested out standalone firmware 104.x and no issues can get about 500mbps consistently on my iPad Pro 2018,with speedflex, however when I switched to standalone 110.x firmware, I got 150mbps I think.

anyway, never had any issues with my past clients that got Ruckus 7372.  Which then I decided to get a 2x R710 a few months after it came out in summer of 2015. I ran standalone firmware until unleashed supported  VLANs and several SSIDs. No issues until recent firmware. Most of my devices were 802.11n and a few ac devices.

I’ll be upgrading my bandwidth soon either stick with business class cable or residential fiber or business class fiber. 
Recently, I got myself a r700 off amazon used for $18.99. They were suppose to send me a 7982... I ended up getting two 7982 for a friend and the last order was for myself which turned out to be a r700.  From what I can tell it was from a Audi dealer and they upgraded to MIst APs from juniper since they reused the Mist AP boxes to ship off the old ruxkus APs.
