Hi Guys, I've just built a WlanPi and decided to do some WiFi performance testing and share my results with you all

 

For a home WiFi Mesh system, this is pretty much what I was expecting and more than good enough for my home use?  Incidentally, I managed to borrow a Cisco C9130 AP and when I did the performance testing again LAN and WiFi performance testing was in the 850 - 968Mbps range.
