Question

FortiAP wifi 6 very low speed

Hi,

I don't know why but I have very low speeds when connecting windows 11 clients with Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160Mhz cards to FortiAP 231F. I'm connected to AP using 802.11ax but can't get speeds faster that 287 Mb/s. Even when I move close to the AP I'm standing two meters away from it, this is max speed what I get. Something is wrong configured, please tell me?

Can you share the mac address of your test client and run this command while it is connected?

 

diagnose wireless-controller wlac -d sta

    Hi , 

     

    I am experiencing the very same thing and would like to try and resolve the issue. 

     

    I have two forti 231F AP's in a test lab scenario and cannot get more than 260Mb/s. 

     

    My MAC address is E0-2E-0B-A4-64-EC and the result of the above command is as follows :

    Hey there,

     

    sounds for me like 20MHz Channel Bandwith witch results in 270Mbit/s, try at least 40 or 80MHz and try again.
