    Hello,

    Got my first AP734 last Thursday and made some tests immediately with ANT-348. During tests noted that connection I can get is only 11n/300mbps max speed with 5G band and 40Mhz channel width. My testing laptop was about 5 meters away from antenna, signal level was around -48dbm and SNR >40db so no issues there I may say.

    AP735 in same Central group running same configuration (naturally without external antenna config) gives 11ax and >600mbps with same config.

    348 antenna was connected like this:

    Antenna 1 => A0
    Antenna 2 => A1
    Antenna 3 => B0
    Antenna 4 => B1

     Any idea what could be issue here?

    Can you post the output of 'show ap bss-table'? Strange that an 11be WiFi-7 AP only broadcasts on 11n, unless 11be/ax/ac all are disabled.

    Also, check if the AP has enough power, as one of the options to let the AP work on limited power is to reduce the radio performance (chains, power).

    Unfortunately all devices are boxed waiting to be installed so no device data available at the moment...

    AP was connected to CL4 switch and USB was disabled... I don't know how much more  power external 348 antenna needs but as I said AP735 in same group and configuration provided 11ax with proper >600mbps connection.

    I have also AP-ANT-311 and ANT-340 which I will install first so it's interesting to see do they provide better connection.

    Just got one pair of 734&348 and tested them. I got same results than earlier and noted that ap used 20MHz bandwidth (possibly because of radio profile gives possibility to use either 20 or 40 MHz bandwidths) and after I changed radio profile to support only 40MHz and reboot ap it started to offer 11ax and higher speeds...
