I have a L009UiGS-2HaxD-IN and hAP AX lite that are both on version 7.12.1. I've setup CAPsMAN the same as the example in the documentation[1]. I do have some differences in the configuration. I mirrored some settings that the L009 had already which is "wifi 1" and the "cap-wifi 1" is the hAP AX lite. The location is basically a rectangle and two floors. I have the L009 at the center of the house/rectangle but at the top and the hAP AX downstairs somewhat offset from the L009 and I'll admit, probably too close to the L009. The house is wooden frame and drywall and we don't have a lot of other networks close to us.
I'm having a couple different issues. Coverage on the right side of the house isn't great up or down, maybe a bar or two. I can be on the first floor and be fairly close to the center of the house and possibly 20-30ft from the L009 and my signal still isn't strong. Speed wise, I'm getting roughly 40-60mbps. We have 1gig fiber line from the ISP that gets roughly 950+mbps on the wire. So I'm confused why my signal isn't great and why speeds are slow.
I feel like my CAPsMAN configuration isn't setup right and the L009 wifi isn't setup right as if they are not operating as a mesh network multi-access point setup(Sorry, don't know the technical name).
QUESTION:
1. What can I do to improve coverage?
2. What can I do to improve my CAPsMAN configuration? Is there any mistakes?
3. How can I increase wifi speeds?
4. How can I improve the client handoff from AP to AP?
Wifi config:
I know there are a handful of other posts similar to this, but I'm new and I'd like ask again with my specific setup and hopefully learn from it. Any suggestions here, please let me know. I'm not a networking professional, but I know more than the average joe. Thank you ahead of time!!!
