Slow 5GHz AC Wi-Fi

[JayceOoi]

An update on the latest 2.0.1 firmware. iPerf3 result shows that Wi-Fi AC performance indeed improved although still not yet reach 200 Mbps but more than double based on previous result. Keep the good work, HiMedia.

Not bad results for 433 Mbps WiFi like HiMedia use.

I have a 100/50 net connection.

I get the -almost- maximum 98/47 out of the 5GHz band with Q10 Pro.

Tho' on the 2.4GHz band isn't that great, only 47/47. ->And it looks "funny", cause it only affects the download speed, and precisely "cutted in the middle". Been repeated the test many times, and get always nearly same results. Looks like some hardware/software limitation, can't be accidental, nor dependent from the "Wi-Fi range" circumstances. Still didn't try to figure out if it's just the Box's side or it's the router...

You are getting the best result on 2.4GHz already as that's the maximum hardware limitation.

Is still can't get what limitation?! Limitation of the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi standard?! I have an ac Router...

Didn't tried it through local network tho', but I guess I would get the theoretical max out from the 5GHz, but the 2.4GHz dowstream perfomance is annoying me (still not bad, but it's definitely artificialy limited)...

Yes, limitation of 2.4GHz at 72 Mbps 802.11n. In real world, you will get around 50 Mbps transfer rate. 

For 5 GHz 802.11ac, you can get 433 Mbps. As usual, actual transfer rate is much lower around 200+ Mbps.

Local 1GB network can reach up to 938 Mbps. More info @ my HiMedia Q10 Pro Review

Since when do they advertize WlanAC? I do KNOW and REMEMBER there was WlanN advertized back then, when I bought the device.
Good for us and the the iPerf values are not totally theoretical. That would make the Q10pro able to stream 4K at decent bitrates via Wlan.
I do prefer LAN at any time hands down.

But good to know I could.

Thanks for testing and letting us know!
