I have the omada system setup in my house and my internet provider is Starlink and im getting speeds of 160 mbps when I run a speed test on the omada website but when I run a speedtest when connected to the wifi im only getting speeds of like 20 mbps. Any recommendations on how to get my speeds to match?

Hey

 

Hopefully I am understanding you correctly.  You have a 160mbps down internet when you are cabled in, yet only around 20mbps when using the WiFi?   Is this correct

 

If so can you give us more info on your setup, what devices you have and how you tested this?   Are you connected to 2.4ghz or 5ghz and on what device..

 

Hopefully we can help!

If it is possible try to test internet speed from different device and through ethernet.

@new2this,

 

Network performance is affected by both endpoints, i.e. the AP and the client that you use to test.

They'll end up using the best BOTH of them can handle.

 

With Wi-Fi, it's a bit more complicated because there are more factors coming into play (distance, obstruction...).

Your EAP620 is probably not the bottleneck.

 

What kind of client are you using to test?

20Mbps is a practical speed for 802.11a or g endpoint...

 

With my phone over Wi-Fi, I'm practically getting about a third of my wired speed (when the bottleneck is the ISP), even less the further I move away from the AP.

The phone is the bottleneck (despite support for 802.11ac).

With a laptop over Wi-Fi, I'm back to being throttled by the ISP (although I'm getting close to practical limits of that standard).
