Model: ER706W  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.2

My Wi-Fi client seems  connected to 5Ghz 160Mhz channel but achieve very low DL/UL rate compare to theoretical 2402Mbps

Hi  @teowk1 

 

Thanks for posting here.

 

2402Mbps is the link speed, with the theoretical rate being the laboratory limit. The actual rate is significantly attenuated by three layers of limitations: environment, equipment, and protocol. These factors are unavoidable, so our actual download speed cannot reach the theoretical value. If the actual rate can achieve 40–70% of the theoretical value, it is considered normal performance.

I get this speed, but remember you don't always get higher speeds with 160Mhz bandwidth, 160Mhz takes up half the band and the risk of noise from neighbors is high
