Hello,

I have the same problem, this is my case:

- Two (2) Wans (500 Mbps and 300 Mbps)
-ER605 v2
- EAP653 (5Ghz, channel width 160Mhz, 2402Mbps) test iperf3 WiFi <--> Lan results in 903 Mbps.
- Internet test page: fast.com

 

Test 1:

Wan 1/ Wan 2 --> ER605 v2 --> Laptop Lan ==> download 740 Mbps, upload 730 Mbps ==> test ok

 

Test 2:

Wan 1 / Wan 2 --> ER605 v2 --> EAP653 --> WiFi Laptop ==> download 400 Mbps, upload 720 Mbps ==> test failed

 

Why the download speed of test two differs from test one?, but the upload speed remains similar or the same.

because of the session of this speed test uses.

session is the key to the whole concept/idea of load balancing. what's balanced? SESSION.

if your session is balanced, then it'll be flowing thru both wan 1 and 2. if it is not balanced, then you get the speed of either one of them.

nothing to complain about. what virgo suggested is to prove the load balancing actually works.

Hi @Star2112 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

 Hi @Clive_A thank you for your reply, 

So here's my question: firstly, what is your definition of load balancing?
Here I have two links 1° 400 mbs + 2° 300 mbs the idea is for the ER605 to add the combine connections,

which is occurring correctly in the wired network, after activating Enable Load Balancing in the ER605 settings.

When I run a speed test, the average speed shown is 700mbs in wired network. 

I would expect to see the same speed when running a test on a laptop or smartphone connected via wifi.

 

 

What do you expect to see from load balancing?
I expected better performance over wireless. 

 

 

Not to mention that the test method you use to test load balancing isn't correct, you think it's a bug in the system with the LAN/WAN. So, in your opinion, what's the difference

between an AP and a wired connection?
I understand that the connections would be identical between the wired part and the wifi part, but I could be wrong about that because I don't have deep technical knowledge about networks, I'm actually investigating and learning from this situation to get the most out of the hardware I have here by the way a liked very much the router ER605.

 

 

If you have time, take a second to read the KB.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is KB and where can I find it?

Thank you very much for your questions. 

Best regards.

I think I did not upload the KB successfully. It's pinned.

Combined speed is not guaranteed unless your test device can do a multi-session speed test. Or it does not add up the speed. FAQ on our official website has explained this. Aggregate speed as keywords and you should see them.

And 300Mbps on WIFI, have you ruled out the possibility that your wireless is limiting this? Commonly 866Mbps for 5GHz on WIFI5 get you around 300-400Mbps. If optimal, it'd get 400Mbps or a little bit more.
