The Ubiquiti Nanostation m5 PTP isn't operating at its maximum speed.
Hi, you're setting up a Ubiquiti Nanastation M5 for point-to-point links at your office. You're seeing speeds around 80 Mbps on the network, but your direct connection to the router is much faster at 900 Mbps. The wireless AP you're using provides about 800 Mbps when connected to the router, and the hardwired link between stations also delivers 70-80 Mbps. Devices report support for 300/300 Mbps, which seems low given the distances involved. It might be due to the proximity of the devices—being only a couple of feet apart. Let me know if you need further guidance.
These devices support 10/100 Ethernet, meaning you'll achieve up to 100Mbps performance.
No, you can't evaluate any PTP gear under these conditions. The 100mbps port is also your main constraint. These devices are quite outdated—around 14 years old—and you're still using them? That's odd. Nowadays, they have many better options that cost just a few hundred dollars.
