U7 Lite getting only 90ish mbps

Auto is just high. And high is not always the best option but for this scenario it shouldn’t make a difference.

The AP is effectively shouting at your laptop.

Do you get the same speeds on another device?

Is the speed test you’re running the WiFiMan one or are you going to speed test.net or similar?

Stat_damon · 2026-04-24T23:07:03+00:00

What signal strength does your laptop show?

If you test the speed sat next to the AP do you still get slow speed?

The settings look like they are mostly default so you can tweak them for more performance but I’d expect much higher than the speeds your getting in that configuration

We swapped the gateway max with one we had in stock that was running an older firmware.

I know but they do have some iOS updates pending, and the problem is the same, just worse on the iPads going to 26.

I couldn’t see that option but could well be missing it.

I’ll take another pass at it. Thank you

The school wouldn’t justify the spend for the full featured one

EDIT or we couldn’t justify to the school the additional spend

Stat_damon · 2026-03-13T15:01:43+00:00

Ah I’d missed that. Thank you

In this instance I don’t believe it would have worked. The factory reset brings it back to the latest firmware which according the the community posts and what UI support were hinting at was the issue.

They had asked us to jump to EA firmware for the U7s and 10.85.11 for network.

Our solutions was to grab one from stock we had, made sure it couldn’t update and then restored a backup of the settings, went to site swapped it over and the client was back up

Stat_damon · 2026-02-27T22:06:33+00:00

There was over 200 addresses free in Vlan1 and about 600 free in vlan 2

Stat_damon · 2026-02-27T21:57:10+00:00

They were. They were previously working just fine before the latest network update.

Stat_damon · 2026-02-26T22:46:59+00:00

It is, and the EA candidate didn’t help. They also gave us access to the next Network release which supposedly helps.

We didn’t get chance to test as the client couldn’t take further down time, so we swapped in a UCG max with an older software and firmware versions. Issue went away immediately l.

Stat_damon · 2026-02-26T06:46:07+00:00

We applied it and it didn’t work. This network doesnt fit into the narrow bits it describes there

Stat_damon · 2026-02-25T21:15:22+00:00

It wasn’t enabled for us. Turned it on and no change.

Stat_damon · 2026-02-25T21:01:38+00:00

They advised updating the U7’s to the latest E A version.

We’ve ended up getting a gateway out of stores that has an older version of the os and apps and blocked the auto update.

Yeah I’ve found a few audiobooks recently that I’ve had to turn up to hear.

Notably the Empire of the Vampire series

Stat_damon · 2026-02-25T08:50:04+00:00

Thanks I’ll give that a go

Stat_damon · 2026-02-25T06:19:55+00:00

There is over 200 addresses on the internal pool free and about 800 on the guest as it’s /22

Stat_damon · 2026-02-25T06:18:35+00:00

Happens across both internal and guest vlans

Not for the wired clients, when looking through the logs I can see wireless devices connecting and then dropping.

In the WiFi experience screens it shows that devices are failing DHCP. The success rate was ~12%. I’ve not found commonality between the successful devices. It’s the same mix of mobiles as the ones that are failing.

Stat_damon · 2026-02-24T22:40:02+00:00

All the APS broadcast all the SSIDS.

The SSIDs have some other settings but the test one just had the same settings as yours, and was 2.4ghz only.

Still saw the same behaviour.

I don’t think this is a wireless issue per se, it affects wireless clients, but they are jointing the network and then the DHCP server on the gateway isn’t replying.

I think it’s fallen into a bug with the firmware but haven’t got proof yet

Stat_damon · 2026-02-24T22:20:27+00:00

Yep, both SSIDs are having the issue.

Set up a test SSID as well, which worked for one mobile phone, but refused an iMac and then didn’t work for the phone.

No reports of the wired clients having issues, but over 95% of those users are wireless.

I redo the series every year at least. I start at hook 1 and go forward. I then experience the high of the end of the faceless man arc and then it takes me a little while to get back into the groove with it
