R750 Slow Speeds

One of my homes has Cable Internet speeds rated at 450 Mbps Down & 20Mbps Up.


I have a Arris TM1602 DoCSIS 3.0 16x4 > Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 12


At this location I had a...


27" iMac (Model Spring 2019)

iMac > Cat 6 Wire > EdgeRouter 12 = 450 Mbps Down & 20 Mbps Up

iMac > WiFi 5 > PhiComm K3C AC 1900 = 380 Mbps Down & 20 Mbps Up

iPhone 11 Pro (2x2 WiFi 6 Chipset) > WiFi 5 > PhiComm K3C AC 1900 = 365 Mbps Down & 20 Mbps Up


I picked up a Ruckus R750 Unleashed and added it to the EdgeRouter 12


27" iMac (Model Spring 2019)

iMac > Cat 6 Wire > EdgeRouter 12 = 450 Mbps Down & 20 Mbps Up

iMac > WiFi 5 > Ruckus R750 = 375 Mbps Down & 20 Mbps Up

iPhone 11 Pro (2x2 WiFi 6 Chipset) > WiFi 6 > Ruckus R750 = 362 Mbps Down & 20 Mbps Up

Note: I am powering the R750 with a POE+ Injector but could it may be under powered?

I know if it is under powered it may not perform as well as it should but I find it hard to believe an $750 Access Point can't beat a 2 year old $80 consumer router, especially since R750 is WiFi 6 Certified and I'm using an iPhone 11 Pro with WiFi 6 2x2 Chipset.


PoE Injector = Cudy 30W Gigabit PoE+ Injector Adapter, IEEE 802.3 at and IEEE 802.3 af Compliant, up to 100 Meters (328 Feet), 10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45, POE150


Ruckus Power Specs

802.3af PoE = PoE: 12.54W

802.3at PoE+ = Full Functionality = PoE+ : 22.34W    /    DC Power: 22.69W

Ruckus Optional Accessories 

These are much higher power specs than stated above in their power specs.

902-0180-XX00 · PoE Injector (60W)

902-1170-XX00 · Power Supply (48V, 0.75A, 36W)


Super appreciate any advice even if it's not related to the R750 just seems odd to me. Thank you!

I will also run iPerf3 tests between server (iMac) and iPhone to test the speed of the hardware minus the ISP. This will rule out any ISP issues. I still think hitting the same 450 Mpbs as a Cat 6 cable via the iPhone 11 Pro via the 2x2 WiFi 6 chipset should be easy.

I purchased this from Amazon (Global Direct Sellers) and it appeared to be new and sealed as far as I can tell.

I just called support...

They would not help me because I bought this from Amazon and said this is likely gray market device. I mean...

He never asked for a serial number or a way to validate if it was an authentic product in my hand.

I find this disgraceful not to know and or support your product.

It's fine if it has no warranty, that's one thing. But if it's a valid genuine product why the hell would they just want to get off the phone and not even check.

It would be nice to know if I got a gray market product and help me make sure I buy the correct product. That seems reasonable.

This is helpful and I thank you. 

I will stop making posts and get a legitimate device.

will return if I have issues with an authorized device.

sorry for all the trouble just didn’t think gray market products were such an issue with enterprise players.
