![]() ![]() I wanted to show the impact of distance from your AP on a typical 80 MHz-wide 5 GHz channel. The UDM, BeaconHD and U6-Pro also get a small additional boost due to their support for a 3rd spatial stream in 5 GHz.įor my next test, I switched back to my 2x2 Wi-Fi 6 client, and tested from 3 different places in my house. Thanks to 256-QAM and usually less interference, 5 GHz can deliver more data over a 20 MHz channel. Without a 3rd spatial stream, they all fall behind.įirst, let’s look at 20 MHz channels in both bands. The UDM, BeaconHD, and U6-Pro can on 5 GHz only.Īll the other APs (AC-Lite, AC-Mesh, AC-In-Wall, U6-Lite) only support 2 spatial streams, making them incapable of delivering the highest data rates. The AC-Pro, AC-Mesh-Pro, AC-HD, and U6-LR are all able to match the 3 spatial streams, 256-QAM, and up to 1300 Mbps data rates of my 3x3 client on both bands. This is a more even playing field, and a chance for the 3x3 and 4x4 APs to show their strength. This is an interesting test because it shows the impact of an additional spatial stream, and removes the highest-end modulation (1024-QAM) and longer symbol duration of Wi-Fi 6. Next, I switched over to my MacBook Pro and it’s 3 spatial stream Wi-Fi 5 radio.
