R650 - max download 500ish? Unleashed

[silicondt]

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
