Bad link capacity test - UPLOAD

Dears,
i have problem with upload.
I meassure : Download is OK (67,58Mbps) and UL: only 12,11Mbps). Link test is from SM.
If I change the frequency, the UL is without much change.

Can anyone advise?

If you have "Downlink Data : 85%", that leaves only 15% of the duty cycle for upload. 15% divided by 85% = ~ 0.18, and the actual download capability of 67.58 Mbps multiplied by the 0.18 sliver you are permitting the AP to use for upload = 12.16 Mbps. In other words, it's working exactly as you set it to do.

If you want to increase the upload performance, you'll have to lower your Downlink Data percentage

You may want to reduce  the contention slots too.

12 contention slots for 11 SMs is a bit overkill.

4 contention slots should work fine in your case.

Thank you. Everything is fine.

It was a typo. I have set 4 correctly. Thanks
