      Are you testing a wireless client?

      Trying to troubleshoot what appears to be really slow throughput through my AP from my laptop.

      Tested the ethernet and the performance is where it should be.

          I've ordered an AP to compare against.

          Worse case I return it, best case I have a new AP that operates how it should.

            No idea how to verify anything. I would factory rest from ssh and manually change firmware a few versions if you really want to troubleshoot.
            Otherwise I would do what you did. Order a new one.

              Any recommendations on how to factory reset this one via ssh?

                          Is the laptop connected at N or AC? What frequency / channel? (2.4gHz or 5gHz?)

                            AC and N for testing, both resulted in sub-par performance.

                                Use an app on your phone to see what kind of noise you have... You may need to set the channel manually for the 2.4gHz band. I've not heard of having to do that on 5gHz.

                                    What about the channel width? I've seen setting them to 20 (for 2.4 gHz) and 40 (for 5gHz) improve things.

                                      Are you testing a wireless client?

                                      Trying to troubleshoot what appears to be really slow throughput through my AP from my laptop.

                                      Tested the ethernet and the performance is where it should be.

                                      Are you running the tests from that laptop?

                                      Laptop and a VM that is attached to the LAN on a dedicated port from my hypervisor.

                                      Is the laptop connected at N or AC? What frequency / channel? (2.4gHz or 5gHz?)

                                      AC and N for testing, both resulted in sub-par performance.

                                      20 and 80, and channels 1 and 40

                                      I will actually set the AC channels to Auto.

                                      What about the channel width? I've seen setting them to 20 (for 2.4 gHz) and 40 (for 5gHz) improve things.

                                      Edit: You really shouldn't have to worry about that unless there's a lot of interference in your area.

                                        Correct, although you would not find that much interference yet with 5Ghz channels.

                                            @dafyre Yes, I reset and set as much as possible to automatic.

                                            Performance is still in the dumps.
