CONFIRMED. Running an RT3200 on SNAPSHOT r22153-107f7374c9 / LuCI Master git-23.039.28596-41e9b8d, the upload AX issue through obstacles is resolved. Direct line of sight I get ~800/down ~720/up. Through a floor in the same location with 23.03.3 that showed 10-20mbps up I am now getting 600/down 600/up.
Test was done with an iPhone 13 Pro Max. AX 80MHz channel 149, transmit power 23dBm.
These would be interesting discussion points on a new thread, perhaps. It just dawned on me how far OT I took a lot of this thread yesterday. My apologies to the OP for that.
Thanks for the input. For fear that we are continuing to drag this original topic off course, let's please continue this discussion here: Proper configuration of 802.11k and 802.11v
My ISP connection is 1Gbps down + 40 Mbps up and this was taken in the same room as the RT3200, running SNAPSHOT r22063-f490295bf2, from my Google Pixel 6 Pro:
I'll admit I have no comparison to 802.11ac to offer, I only set up ax & wanted to use it specifically because I have a Pixel 6 Pro that supports all the way up to WiFi 6E.
With Speedtest you are measuring your ISP/WAN speed. It is not a valid test to measure your wifi speed.
If you want to measure your Wifi and compare ax with ac, for example, you need to use iperf3 (with an iperf3 running on a server wired to your router and an iperf3 client on your wifi device).
Theoretically this is true. And it can work in practice as long as one is certain the speedtest host selected consistently delivers at near 1Gb speed. Otherwise, the test is inherently flawed because at AX speeds, you will be confounding the source of a bottleneck.
I want to draw emphasis to this and really help drive home the importance of what you said, @dsouza. It’s very important that iperf3 be on a wired host connected to the router and NOT run iperf3 on the router itself.
Thanks! tried so copy same configuration for radio1 but still having issues with upload, gets fixed at 36Mbits/s when I am just 3 meters away with a wall between.
