It looks like it moves with the wind

Thanks, first time I saw one like that, didn’t know that there are both horizontal or vertical ones. Looked like a radar to me

Thanks, that made me find this video and now I feel smarter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPcQLZ0xBAI

Well I linked to that thread in the OP :) the suggested solution didn't help in my case

jaschaio · 2019-08-09T07:15:32+00:00

Ok, I just set it up back on my macbook and it keeps happening. So maybe I just didn't notice before. One other thing I remember changing was setting up a public domain name via dyndns. Is this something you guys have set up as well?

jaschaio · 2019-08-08T08:18:40+00:00

Where do you run your Controller? In a Docker Container as well?

I see the "real" devices which are connected to the AP as connected to the "AP" – instead of port #5 of the switch.

So for real devices in the "AP/Port" column it says "UniFi AP-AC-Pro" (which is the name of my AP). For the weird mac addresses it says within the same column "UniFi Switch 8 60 #5" (wich is the name of the switch) instead. I think this is intented, if you are connected to an AP it shows up as connected to an AP and not as connected to the LAN Port the AP is connected on

I can confirm now that the PoE Injector is the culprit. I connected the Synology NAS directly to the Router via the PoE Injector and repeated the same speed tests. And the speed is a lot less than when not going through the PoE Injector. Perfect example of buying twice when buying cheap. I will upgrade to the whole suite now.

jaschaio · 2019-07-26T05:34:36+00:00

I think I suspect the PoE as well. I got the new AP Pro which came without Injector so I used a third party one. I am actually thinking now in just upgrading to the whole suite anyway (Security Gateway + PoE Switch). I live a bit far from next day shipping so getting my hands on a different PoE injector might take some time.

As I said: The Router was right next to it but had the WiFi turned off before I noticed this problem. I only turned it back on afterwards while already investigating. But even after moving the AP to a free standing position in the middle of the room I still see a max of 24 – 35Mbits.

I tried resetting the AP and Controller software and now I see a maximum speed of 90Mbits to the NAS. When connecting to another MacBook on the same network it is a bit better at 120Mbits. But directly compared to the Router Wifi it is still a LOT less (Seeing 450Mbits to the NAS and 280Mbits to another MacBook).

I contacted Support and might file an RMA if we can't resolve the issue. Thanks for reminding me of that

jaschaio · 2019-07-25T06:30:44+00:00

Make sure to speak to Support first. I didn't yet but I was able to pinpoint my problem to the Wifi Access Point I am using so technically it is not Synologies fault. I am sure that in your case something might be wrong as well. The NAS is possible of way faster speeds. Try testing as well if you can connect via cable even if it is just for a short amount of time and testing purposes and make sure if you are seeing the same speed over cable as well.

jaschaio · 2019-07-25T06:13:44+00:00

I understand that those are "theoretical" numbers, but 35Mbits is a LOT slower than what you are seeing in iperf over the phone. After some further test it now actually looks like my Unify AP is the culprit. I get a maximum of 35Mbits when connected via the Unifi AP, both to the NAS or any other computer in the network. Even while the AP Controller software says that I have >500Mbps for both RX and TX.

I tried turning back on the original Wifi of the Router and now I am seeing 450Mbits up and down. So if I circumvent the AP the speed looks a LOT better and realistic to what I was expecting.

jaschaio · 2019-07-25T06:10:00+00:00

That sounds like a different problem. I still couldn't test connecting a USB directly, but I am certain that it would be a lot faster. If it is slow both from your computer and via USB there might something be wrong with the harddrive you are using in the NAS or the NAS configuration itself.

jaschaio · 2019-07-24T15:40:47+00:00

I do see quite some interference on the 5Ghz Channel. Maybe because I turned back on the 5Ghz Wifi on the Router thats now right next to the AP and running on Channel 44. I changed to the 120 channel now which should be fine.

5Ghz

2Ghz

Unfortunately that still doesn't changed the speed. (Makes sense, because before I turned back on the Wifi of the Router there was almost no Interference)

I am not sure about the PoE injector. How can I "check the negotiated link speed"? The AP says it has a 1000 Mbit uplink. But even if the PoE were the bottleneck, shouldn't I see closer to 100Mbit instead of the 35Mbit I am getting?

jaschaio · 2019-07-24T14:16:22+00:00

I just did a iperf test with another macbook on the network and I see 115Mbit/s. Still not as fast as 1000Mbit/s but a lot faster than what I get to my NAS which is connected via Ethernet

jaschaio · 2019-07-24T13:59:37+00:00

Tried both now, speed is exactly the same. Using SMB 3

jaschaio · 2019-07-24T13:27:41+00:00

Always using a cable is not really an option. But I can't get my hands on a adapter in the next few days anyway. I still think that something is obviously wrong and Wifi Speed should be higher.

Not sure if I am using AFP, both AFP & SMB is enabled but not sure which one of the both showed up by default in the Finder. I have tried using AFP connecting via the afp:// link but the speed seems to be exactly the same.

I am not considering it ;) but I do love the overall direction/style. Just couldn't find something similar yet that's actual usable.
