CPE210 bridge - slow speed
![](/avatar/avatar-12.png)
I have two CPE210 devices as a bridge between two buildings, about 125 feet apart. Signal strength on client -40db. SNR 68db. I can run the speedtest tool and get 160 Mbps.
One the AP side, on a computer plugged into modem I get about 180Mbps down with speedtest.net With a computer plugged into the client, I can get about 80Mbps on speedtest.net. Why the big slowdown?

The CPE210 has 100Mbps Ethernet port, which would limit the max speed to 100Mbps, with communication overhead, I think 80Mbps is good.

@idealtrucks, to use full-duplex 100 Mbps Ethernet bandwidth over a half-duplex medium such as WiFi you need at least 300 Mbps wireless bandwith.
If you set 20 MHz WiFi channel width (thus reducing WiFi bandwidth to 144 Mbps in N-mode), full duplex Ethernet bandwidth will also decrease to around ~ 50 Mbps.

@Yannie Ah, I didn't know the ethernet port was only 100mpbs. That does make sense then, but a bit deceptive on the advertised speed.
