device is a google wifi ac1304 which from my understanding is an ac1200 device
isp speed is 500/20, wifi 6 router is able to push max line rate
it should be capable of around 800 mbps throughput on the ac band?
5G is set to 22db and 80 channel width mode is AC
2.4 is set to 29db and 40 channel width mode is N
An ac2600 device maxes out around 600mbit, so I doubt it.
i was going by the ac1200 marketing 800ac 400 n
It's just that, marketing.
man i need an ax access point asap then lol. i have a netgear ax1500 and its fine, but it cant run openwrt to my knowledge MR7340 (not MR7350)
What sort of throughput did you see with stock Google firmware before you installed OpenWrt?
You won't ever see 800 Mbps. For 2x2 AC wifi, 866 MHz is the maximum 'link' speed. That's not the same as transfer speed in real world. Usually it's about half that value.
Device page quotes Google Wifi uses IPQ4019 SoC, so performance will be similar to Linksys EA6350 v3 and EA8300 which use IPQ40xx SoC. I know my AC1200 EA6350 v3 can reach 500 Mbps using speedtest.net with Linksys firmware in 'router mode' and 2x2 wifi. But it struggles to reach 350-400 Mbps with OpenWrt in 'less demanding?' AP mode the last time I tested it a few years ago, due to lack of hardware acceleration in OpenWrt etc. It's even slower in 'router mode'.
got it! that makes sense i guess i thought if the max speed was 800 and i pay for 500 i should get close lol
good excuse to find a supported ax ap
in most use cases are as an extender so you have to 1/2 that possible 866Mhz
in best case anyway
and as an extender to extend it can't be that close anyway
not an extender, an access point, all data comes hardwired from the router
