I did some basic iPerf 3 testing:
Client/Server Specs
Desktop1 (SSD, Gigabit Ethernet)
Desktop2 (SSD, Gigabit Ethernet)
Macbook Pro Mid-2009 (SSD, 802.11n)
Surface Pro 3 (SSD, 802.11ac)
Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (802.11ac)
Unifi-AC-Pro 5Ghz WPA2-AES Channel Width HT40 Transmit
Desktop 1 <--> Desktop 2 = 939Mbits/sec
Desktop 1 <--> Note 5 = 168Mbits/sec
Desktop 1 <--> MBP = 128Mbits/sec
Desktop 1 <--> SurPro3 = 123Mbits/sec
Unifi-AC-Pro 5Ghz WPA2-AES Channel Width HT80 Transmit
Desktop 1 <--> Desktop 2 = 942Mbits/sec
Desktop 1 <--> Note 5 = 242Mbits/sec
Desktop 1 <--> MBP = 188Mbits/sec
Desktop 1 <--> SurPro3 = 190Mbits/sec
So far pretty weak. I will need to turn them off and fire up a Nighthawk, AC-Lite, Cisco 1252 and compare tomorrow.
You tested absolute shit devices as far as AC is concerned...... seriously a Cellphone???
A Surface Pro 3 has a shit wifi with problems documented thousands of times.
and a Mac Book Pro is not a network performance machine. They spent all the money in the damn LCD.
Want to test them right then you need to bridge two AC-APs together and run an iperf from one server to another server through the wireless bridge. That is going to testify to their true speed.
Also using a notably high performance card that can actually handle 2x2 or 3x3 MIMO is going to net much much higher results i.e. http://www.asus.com/us/Networking/PCEAC68/
This was not a test to give any credit to the devices.
My AP-AC last generation is much much faster than those numbers.... so well.... I guess until you test a much higher performing device the numbers are what they are....
