EAP110 Has Extremely Slow Upload Speed
We recently got some EAP110 ceiling-mount access points and after testing each one, we found out that all of them had terribly slow upload speeds of around 0.1 to 0.2 Mbps. Amazingly, download speeds are quite good at around 50+ Mbps which is expected with 802.11n.
After reading this post, I found out that people have found a workaround for this problem which is to set the wireless mode to "b/g mixed" instead of "b/g/n mixed" or "n only". This fixed the slow upload speed issue. The problem is, the access point is now running an older wireless standard, 802.11g, and the theoretical speed is now 54 Mbps which gives us about 20 Mbps in real life. This was disappointing since we got 13 used 110s for our church for a very low price.
I kindly ask TP-Link to fix this bug so we (and other people who are still using EAP110s) may be able to use them with 802.11n speeds for at least a few more years without problems.
