EnGenius Cloud Managed ECW260 Wi-Fi 6 Outdoor Access Point Range Testing

I did a quick outdoor range test of the ECW260 Wi-Fi 6 Access Point. I mounted mid way up a tree and connected to a ECS2512FP multi gigabit PoE switch I was able to link at 2.5Gb over 75 feet of cat5e.

At 20 feet away I was able to get over 400Mbps with my iPhone 12 Pro associated to the 5.8Ghz radio

Then at 200 Feet from the AP with line of sight I was able to get almost 100Mbps.

I can see from the cloud client timeline feature that my iPhone switched to the 2.4Ghz radio during the 200 foot test. Because of the terrain and buildings I was not able to test further but the ECW260 should be able to provide usable Wi-Fi at nearly twice this distance line of sight.
