TP-Link EAP660HD 5GHz ~450 Mbps with 1 client, adding 2nd client slows 1st to ~275 Mbps
cross posting this from https://www.reddit.com/r/TPLinkOmada/comments/riv5qe/eap660hd\_5ghz\_450\_mbps\_with\_1\_client\_adding\_2nd/ for extra visibility.
My network:
* Router: TP-Link ER7206
* Switch TP-Link TL-SG3210XHP-M2 (8 2.5GbE ports, 2 10G SPF+ ports)
* AP: TP-Link EAP660HD
The TL;DR of the above thread:
I have two local machines running speed test servers:
* one with a 10G SPF+ port connected to the 10G SPF+ port on the switch
* and another that has a 1GbE port connected to a 2.5 GbE port on the switch
I run the test on phone 1 (Pixel 3a) to one speed test server and simultaneously on another phone (Pixel 4a) on the other speed test server and get about 220 Mbps down (each phone). If I run the tests independently I get about 400 - 500Mbps (occasionally can get closer to 600).
The devices are about 6 feet away from the AP. The house is centered in an acre of land with little channel interference (1-2% max).
There are a bunch more tests described in the above linked post, one where I speed test several devices simultaneously (and get like 100-150Mbps per device) then run a [fast.com](https://fast.com) test over WiFi and get a full 220 Mbps down on that device without affecting other device speeds! It's like the AP only permits ~600Mbps over 5Ghz for LAN.
I'm thoroughly stumped. Any thoughts?
