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.

No, that is what DE is saying, it's the Speedtest tool, not the AP performance (with different ac clients, using iperf local client to network target).
I've provided engineering with feedback from this thread, about testing iOS 13+ not MacOS, etc. 

Please provide your Unleashed R710 client results, from anything but the Speedtest tool, and I will continue to share it with engineering.

Hello Michael;
Please let me know what tool to use instead and I'll send you the results.
My point was though, using the speedtest tool on both setups, the speeds with the unleashed AP's is between 1/3 and 1/4 of the speed vs using R700 AP's and a ZD1200.  If it was the speedtest, wouldn't the results be the same?

Speedtest on desktop is simply using a web browser to download about a dozen files adding up to a few hundred megabytes over HTTPS. I am also curious what issue was identified with the test as I've generally found it an accurate reflection of how fast one can download large files.

I don't get it.. isn't iperf3 the professional tool to test network bandwidth locally?  I do see a speed difference between 200.7.x and 200.4.x . it's not as dramatic as using the speedflex or speedtest.net ... but there is a performance difference between those two firmware for single stream and multi stream.  They only had me run single stream on iperf3..... (they would prefer iperf2, but I made them use iperf3. The different for single stream is averaging 120mbps (200.7.x) vs 276mbps (200.4.x)?   Note this is single stream....  that's like a drop of 156mbps for single stream.

There is clearly an issue since iperf3 is "THE BENCHMARK TOOL" for networking.

they have my results and support logs I sent them.
