I've got the last gen Airport and just got a UniFi U6 Lite but for some reason the new access point is actually slower than the deprecated Apple router.
Here's my network setup.
Fiber ISP Router(WiFi disabled) > unmanaged ethernet switch > wireless access point
The Airport is configured to not act as a router, it's just a wireless passthrough.
The UniFi uses PoE with an injector since I don't have a powered switch.
On average the Airport is achieving about 200mbps faster download (yes, web test) than when using the U6.
This is with only one device powered on at a time, one client attached at a time, both using 80mhz bandwidth and the same channel (tried a few), both at the same position and same distance from the test Mac. Both show using 2 streams.
When I option-Click the WiFi menu, it shows the TX rate as about 869mbps for the Airport and about 1,200mbps for the U6 Lite.
I'd like to use device-to-device throughput tests and configure other settings in the U6 but this requires having some Ubiquiti host...device equipment.
What are your thoughts?
