Ubiquiti Access Points - False Advertising?
This advertising isn't unique to Ubiquiti. All manufacturers do this in some way to entice the uninformed buyer. However, at least Ubiquiti goes a step further to actually say that it is aggregate speed.
That being said, they should probably clarify that speed as being an aggregate between clients on different bands at optimal settings wirelessly connected to that particular AP.
An AP will never reach its full speed as per specification in real world application, but it can generally at least reach half of that. I know this is an oversimplification, but 50% of 3000 is better than 50% of 1000.
As for the speed of the NIC, I don't think this is the only WiFi 6 AP we're going to see from them. They are competing with other manufacturers with better specifications on paper and WiFi 6E is starting to pop up, so I'd expect there to be multi-gig support for the uplink NIC coming soon.
