APX320 Wifi Throughput

Does anyone have a performance tuning guide for the APX 320? I have set up an Asus RT AC3100 wireless router in parallel with my APX320 for comparison. When I connect to the Asus I get 93 mbps download speeds on my 100/100 mbps Verizon Fios link. However when I switch to my Sophos access point my speeds drop to 16 mbps. I want to keep the APX but if I cannot tune this I am going to have to remove it. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Wilk4013

Throughput and other tech specs can be found on this link: https://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/secure-wifi/tech-specs.aspx

Have you configured it behind an XG/UTM or using Sophos Central? Further, are you using 2.4 Ghz or 5 Ghz frequency band? If you're testing this in same environment and keeping the same place of APX and Client and you're getting different results, it might be due to some configuration with the APX.

Jaydeep both access points are plugged directly into XG Home device using 2.4 Ghz. Using same laptop to test both. I don't see much in terms of configuration in the GUI that I could change so this is why I am asking the question to see if anyone else had experienced this and what they did to resolve the issue. Thanks

Hi Wilk4013

Have you checked the dropped packets by XG at the time of the Speed test? Please refer to this KBA: Sophos XG Firewall: How to monitor dropped packets using CLI and see if packets are getting dropped for some reason. Also. have you applied any TCP, UDP or SYN floor rate value in DoS settings?

Jaydeep no QOS at all. Actually turned off all IPS features and put in passive Security Onion NSM with a tap and still the same. Will look at the article you referred.

Thanks
