BE800 LACP Support in AP mode?
Does the BE800 formally support LACP in Access Point mode?
I note there are options in the BE800 WR to configure pairs of LACP ports but not in the BE800 AP. However it seems to work but not consistently.
I have the following wired test configuration.
| Device | I/F | Router | I/F | Access Point |
I/F | Device |
| Laptop PC | 2.5G | BE800WR | 10G | BE800AP | 2x1G | QNAP NAS |
| Fibre 1G | 10G | 2.5G | Desktop PC |
To baseline - Copying a large 50GB compressed video file Laptop PC to Desktop PC either direction on either or both the BE800 using 2.5G ports I consistently see 285GBs copy speeds reported by windows which seems about right.
However copying the same 50GB file from the QNAP NAS to the Desktop PC will sometimes run around 226 GB's (expected) and other times 150GB's.
The Laptop seems to always copy from the QNAP at 150GB's
Disconnecting either 1G connection on the QNAP will consistently copy at 113 GBs
There is no other meaningful activity on any device during the test.
I plan to run more tests including WiFi7 but if LACP isnt currently supported in AP mode - little point.
