Hi guys!
I have two DAP 2360 access points. It is in one "AP" mode in the other "AP client" mode. The two units are two meters apart, but the transfer rate is up to 35MBit/s. What could be the reason for this? Both devices have version 2.10 firmware.

Link>Welcome!

• What region are you located?

2 meters apart is too close, DAPs can cover i'd say around 30 feet or maybe more depending on building materials. Lets try to get them farther apart. Having them too close is causing over lap wifi signals and mostly interference upon each other...

Thanks.
I try it far.
My location is Hungary.

[kenderice]

I tested again, 20 meters away.
The download is good, 80 MBit/s, but the upload is only 10 MBit/s.
The internet speed is 1000/200.
Why is downloading good and why is uploading bad?
Pings are bad too.
Once 2ms, sometimes 400ms.

• What wireless channels are you using?
• Try setting a manual Channel to a open or unused channel. 1, 6 or 11. 11 for single mode N if the channel is clear. 13 for EU regions. Try channel 48 or 149 on 5Ghz.
• What security mode are you using? Preferred security is WPA-Personal. WPA2/AES Only. Some WiFi adapters don't support AES, so you might want to try TPIK only or Auto TPIK and AES.
• Any 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz cordless house phones or WiFi APs near by that maybe causing interferences?
• Any other WiFi routers in the area that maybe causing interferences? Link> Use a WiFi Scanner to find out. How many?

The channel is set to automatic. Use 6 channels.
This model does not work at 5GHz frequency, only the 2.4GHz.
Security mode is "WPA-Personal". The WPA mode is AUTO. There are only two DAP 2360 APs in the network, no other wireless device.
Nearby devices use 2, 4, 9, 13 channels.

Was this ping test done at the 1st AP?
Wired to the AP using Ethernet cable while testing?
Try using manual channel 6 and set WPA2 and AES only. Then test.

[kenderice]

I turned off the encryption and tried other channels as well.
The problem always existed.
.200 AP the main AP. The AP client is the .201.
I was pinging from .201 AP.
Maybe one AP is wrong...? Or both?
I'm trying to swap the two devices.

[kenderice]

I switched the devices.
An interesting thing happened!
Poor ping, but download-upload rate has changed.
Now the download has been 10 MBit/s and the upload is 80 MBit/s.
One device is defective, but I do not know which one ...

[FurryNutz]

I would turn OFF the 2nd AP and ping test the first one wire to the AP. Then swap in the 2nd unit in place of the first unit and do same test. Should reveal something...

I recommend that you phone contact your regional D-Link support office and ask for help and information regarding this.

We find that phone contact has better immediate results over using email.
Let us know how it goes please.

Thank you for the help!

Hope it can be resolved.
