Slow Download Speeds R710 Unleashed

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.Image_ images_messages_5f91c3fe135b77e24790df97_43e5db9b2eca36b81d35b46dbdb8f876_RackMultipart20190818868831y92-dc568500-96c2-4610-9714-84fb1bdd684c-743324385.jpg1566155318

My tests were on 5ghz with an 80mhz channel width. I haven’t bothered with 40mhz and this seems to be an issue with the Rx10 series. R500 use latest firmware, I tested several r500’s and r600’s and they perform best on 200.7

Yeah I can confirm that the R500 works best with 200.7.10.94  which is the last firmware that it supports for now. .. I can get 400-500mbps on on iPad Pro 2018.... Just don't run speedflex on the unit you are testing.. best separate unit.  Also iperf3 test confirms it too....

what about your older tests? on top 2 and 3 pages

Unfortunately, my older tests with the r500 were with speedflex on the ap itself which is not accurate. I still get the same results if I running on itself, but when measuring speed throughput to  another speedflex server that’s wired on the network it’s on par with my iperf3 tests. 
as for the r710, r610, r510... the slow down still happens .....with iperf3 and speedflex sever on a different speedflex server. ..

I just wish I had gigabit bandwidth to do more testing..

 so really this bug seems to only impact 802.11ac wave 2 APs.

I'm having the exact same issue on an R710 and an R720 running unleashed on the latest firmware.  I have replaced both radio's with R700 and a ZoneDirector 1200 and the problem was gone.  Same exact wiring, same location, same clients.  Definitely an issue with Unleased.  I'm getting internet connections at less than 1/2 the speed as I do using the R700 with ZD1200.  I only have 13 clients so the difference is very obvious.
