Hi All,

I've got a Asus X99 Deluxe with a Broadcom 802.11AC Wireless connecting to a Unifi AC LR (2.4GHz speed 450, 3x3 Mimo & 5GHz speed 867, 2x2 Mimo).

Just for testing purposes the AP is 8ft away with a clear line of sight and I'm connecting on the 5GHz band at 360Mbps (varies dropping to ~200), I assume this has something to do with 40MHz / 80MHz setting but I can't find any settings for this anywhere? Any pointers?

As an FYI also have a MSI GT72 with killer AC which connects at a solid 400Mbps with wireless mode "802.11ac VHT-40" which I assume is 40Mhz and 400Mbps maximum (again can't find how to bump this up to it's potential maximum), though at a solid 400 I'm more than happy with this.
 
bah, found it - it was the AP not configured. The MSI is a solid 866Mbps but the Broadcom AC on the Asus X99 is fluctuating between 500 - 866, though the AP is saying the connection is 866.7...
