I bought the XE3-4 hoping for EXTREME performance.
But I broke down.
Once plugged in and set up, the results are dramatic.
Bandwidth 2.4 - channel width 40 MHz - maximum performance 65 Mbps (Max PHY Mode 274?!?!)
5 GHz band - 80 MHz bandwidth - maximum speed 274 Mbps! (Max PHY Mode 287?!?!?!?!?!?!)
6GHz band - works only with phone (intel AX 210 card cannot connect to 6GHz band?!?!) - speed on S22 Ultra - 530-830 Mbps (Max PHY Mode 2401).
The device costs VERY MUCH and the results are very poor. A device 5x cheaper from another manufacturer with AX gives similar performance on the 5 Ghz network (not having 6 GHz at all).
Does this model work like that? Because if so, it’s not worth the money
It’s good that I bought it on NFR and I don’t regret spending a lot of money.
I will add that the performance on 2.4 and 5 GHz is lower than on the old model e410-Rev A
The probable cause is that you are connected to a group that was created a long time ago.
After installing a new one and configuring it the same way, the results are slightly better. But still not worth the price
On the 5 Ghz band it is ok (although I have much better results on other manufacturer’s devices). 6 Ghz works perfectly and easily reaches over 900 Mbps. 2.4 is a fail
In addition, I wonder why when connecting the device to the old configuration (AP Group) the results were distorted, only connecting to a clean new one gave better?
The group was about a year old. Unfortunately, it is not possible to view the old and new configuration - although there are no differences on the hotspot?!
Please send the AP configuration, setup, and client details to niraj.mahapatra@cambiumnetworks.com. We will verify this in our Lab and update the results.
