You laughed and tried to discredit factual information. You linked worthless websites that don’t contain all the facts or proper representation of how wireless channels work nor do they represent environment conditions or configurations. You provided no insight or knowledge on UniFi or wireless configuration or setups. You provided no experience or data to your argument. You just flat said no to my claim. Because you have displayed no factual knowledge of the subject, that is the very definition of ignorance.
The bottom line is WiFi with a proper channel balance and MIMO setup can absolutely do Gig speed, the original poster‘s issue isn’t a hardware capability issue, it’s a configuration, client device, and/or environment issue. If you’re going to try and be helpful, then actually be helpful instead of bringing worthless dribble to the thread or insulting or discrediting someone who actually knows what they’re talking about who’s installed multiple live UniFi environments operating well above the “unrealistic expectations” of 500Mbit/s over WiFi per client.
And no, the stereo wattage didn’t go over my head, I didn’t comment on that post did I? I got your joke, I commented on your follow up post trying to discredit my actual environment and what WiFi is capable of, because you are wrong. I can provide data all day long that shows no issues pushing 900+Mbps over WiFi on a single client in my house using the same gear the original poster is using, supporting that he needs to tune his network and it can absolutely do more than 200Mbps. Throwing a Speedtest up was just a quick way that is relatable to people showing that WiFi can absolutely go faster than what was highlighted in this thread.
If you want additional data, here is a link to a third party professional independent tester showing all of the Unifi AP models along the bottom tabs, and all of the firmware versions and clients he uses to test throughput. As you can see, 2 channel MIMO clients easily break beyond 500Mbps. If you have a 3 or 4 channel MIMO client you can reach Gig level speeds which is exactly how I do it in my setup.

Educate yourself before you make foolish comments.
Unifi APs can be very high performance if setup correctly, but most people just install them out of the box and wonder why they're only getting 100-300Mbps and then cry foul, when in reality it's just default or poor configurations.
