Upload speed is double download speed over WiFi - eviltoast

Hi all,

I am trying to figure out why my download speed is so much less than my upload speed over WiFi. I must be missing something.

I’m using a TP Link Omada EAP670 access point wired to a TP Link POE 1gb switch which is then wired to a Omada 1gb router.

Device used for the Speedtest is an iPhone 14 Pro.

The router is hooked up directly to the ONT with FiOS gigabit service.

I live in a 4 unit townhome with a few other networks that could cause interference on the 5ghz band but I am using DFS channels to try to mitigate this.

I have 2 EAP670s but 5ghz is only enabled on one AP to further limit interference.

Wired speeds are great, I’m getting nearly the full gigabit up and down.

Does anyone have any idea why I don’t get a more symmetrical upload and download speed over WiFi? I’m really quite lost.

    I don’t know, but you can definitely enable 5G on your other AP. To limit interference, just set them to different channels. There are many more non-overlapping channels on 5G than 2.4G.
