R720 unstable connection

[ljplewis]

Hi all,

I have seen all the posts about the slow speed, which I am also having on the 5Ghz band, but with the latest 200.15.6.112.54 firmware I am having not only speed issues but connection stability as well. I have done a full reset and left the AP on auto, allowing the BSSID to be on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz band. I either get extremely slow upload speeds like a Phy link speed of 3Mbps, or the client disconnects. Here is the config below. As far as I know this device shouldn't perform this poorly? My client also show wifi gen 4 is being used and not wifi gen 5 on the 2.4Ghz connection. 

From all the other issues I have seen with the R720, was this just a bad product, or is it the unleashed firmware that is really damaging here?

Hi @ljplewis 

Can you please create a Ruckus TAC ticket to perform a live debug and also once for performance make sure AP is on power mode at or above and not af.

I will create a TAC ticket, I currently have the AP in bt mode.

Sadly as I am not a Ruckus registered client. They are not willing to help. Even if this appears to be a firmware bug.

I have checked the AP is correctly in BT mode, even connected a serial console. Sadly the best I can get is around 238Mbps for a single client on the 5Ghz. Commscope isn't willing to assist. This appears to be a firmware bug with the unleashed. Still the AP has very low latency that is solid. Just really sad about the speed being this poor.
