Low connection Speed on NWA50
Hi,
I recently purchased a NWA50 for testing purposes. I planned to install 3 APs in my house to have wifi all over.
Now I encounter the problem that the NWA50 only assigns my mobile with 96mbps to the 5Ghz WiFi.
I changed cable.
I connected an other APs (not zyxel) to the same cable and got assigned 400mbps.
Why is the NWA50 only giving me such a low speed?
Distance is directly in Front with 1-5 meteres. Value stays the same.
i set up the ap as low density in nebula.
Any ideas?

Hi @Polytox
Welcome to Zyxel Community!
There are many factors impact the result such as environment, connection quality …
Ensure your AP and wireless clients are all upgrade to latest driver version and follow the pdf file in the article to setup/check the environment.

Also a big mistake is to leave the AP radio power on default values.
What I suggest to do is to start with a relatively low value (eg. 5-6 dBm) for the 2,5GHz band, and set the 5 GHz radio to about 5-6 dBm more, in this case that would mean 11 dBm. If the area covered will be too small, you can gradually go up by 1-1 dBm.
THis ensures you have a similar, but rather a slightly higher coverage on 5 GHz, so your clients will be more likely to associate to this radio, thus their connection rate will always be better.0
