Dual WAN - Speed Test Different over WiFi than Ethernet
-
Hi there, I've setup dual wan and it's working fine
When I do a speed test on a desktop client via Ethernet - it seems to use the full bandwidth (150Mbps+ Down and 36Mbps UP)
When I perform the same test from a WiFi client (laptop or phone) the bandwidth is only half. AP we are using is UniFi AP Pro using NPS/AD
Is it because WiFi cannot use 2 sessions and send traffic down both links?
Thanks

StinkflyNo. Wifi doesn't even know there are two Internet links. Pfsense does that. However, you need to make sure that you are doing multi-connection speedtest/downloads. What are you using to do the speedtest? Try using IDM to do a multi-connection download. Also, are you connected via wifi AC? And how are your speeds for local file transfers?
There's just too many things to consider but you need to test everything to isolate what's causing the problem.

@kevindd992002 thank you
I am using ookla speedtest (pretty standard)
yes connected to WiFi via AC (laptop web browser and iPhone App)
Local file transfer speeds are almost wire rate (900+ Mbps) on 1Gb links
Going to do some internal network troubleshootingThanks for your feedback, appreciate it

Right. When I say local file transfer though, I was pertaining to local file transfer speeds when using this wifi client. I'm sure that won't reach 900+ Mbps for Wifi so I'm curious as to what speeds your wifi client can reach when doing local file transfer from/to it.
