Just playing around with a FAP 231F.
Latest firmware 7.2 connected to a FGT running 7.2.8
Currently have Orbi 6 mesh as a WiFi network - running in bridge. FGT is default gateway to the network.
When on WiFi through the Orbi, comfortably get 520Mbps download with 100 up. Matches what I’m paying from my ISP.. ish.
Anyway. Taking the Orbi out and replacing with the FAP - wow.
It will not breach 190Mb down at all. Running in bridge - again just directly replacing the port that the Orbi plumbs into.
Any tips? I cannot believe it’s that bad. My client has signal strength of -40dbm. I’m pretty much next to it.
Download tests are fully comparative. Same download server tested against. Same port, same cabling, same device tested from, same distance away for each test.
Put simply, everything is equal.
Happy to share my wtp profile if needed but it’s fairly left to defaults. Experimented turning radios on and off, keeping radio 3 with WIDS ap scan..
Power and radio are not auto - set to 100%.
Cannot work this out. Maybe they are just this bad??

As per Data Sheet each one of the used radios should cover that speed:
Maximum Data Rate
Radio 1: up to 574 Mbps
Radio 2: up to 1201 Mbps
As a start try to match the firmware of the AP with the firmware of the FGT based on the compatibility matrix, also check the Throughput issues section of the guide for any possible hints.
In the operations profiles, I would suggest to check the used channel, the channel width and maybe try with a different end device, sometimes the negotiation are not going well and the connection end up using low speeds.
