Just for comparison, this is what 8 year old Wave1 802.11ac TP-Link Archer C7 v2 running as dumb AP (80MHz channel) is capable of (iperf3 client on iPhone , iperf3 server on x86 wired router):
I understand that 802.11ax is better when there are many clients, but when it comes to single client throughout, it does not seem to be massively better. Not many hand-held things (phones, many laptops) are able to run more than 2x2 80MHz anyway so it seems that we are looking at ~700Mbit/sec instead of ~500Mbit/sec by going to from ac to ax for typical consumer device. 3x3 160MHz is cool and all, but more a curiosity in real world.

Testing AX6 running old "restart" branch with Galaxy S10+ (3 year old phone) connected to 5GHz AX 80Mhz.

Yes, it is a 1x1 AC device. The problem is not the speed (or the coverage), but how high CPU load it induces. It is also interesting, that the download is spread across 3 cores, the upload on the other hand single core limited.
can you share the output of cat /proc/interrupts

Thanks. Can you add this into /etc/rc.local and reboot then do iPerf again?

Yep, uplink traffic is now spread across 3 cores instead of 1 core.
MOD: non the less, after the affinity mods nss_queue0 is still the only one that has interrupts (see 94):

Load seems to be better spread over cores but the actual transfer speed didn't improve.
Well, how would it improve if you are not CPU bottlenecked?
@dchard They released the OEM integration QSDK11.5 today, it uses FW:WLAN.HK.2.6-02385-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1

Is this public? Let me take a look.
I think you know the answer to that, you are gonna have to wait until they make a SPF release and then it will all get pushed out
Hi,
You cannot benchmark WiFi speed by copying files between NAS and Windows laptop. First, there is CIFS overhead. Second, NAS might not be able to push data faster. Please use iperf3 between two devices.
Without the smp_affinity_settings the transfer was loaded only on core0 and that more or less maxed out.
I was just doing some tests as some users asked.
Sure, I was reffering to the case where no core was maxed out
You are right but as a quick test I usually do it this way.
BTW the exact same wireless transfer maxes out gigabit on stock firmware.
Stock interrupts just for the interested

Ahh... We need to wait a bit more then.
With the affinity patches, the loads are spread more evenly. Hopefully I can get my AX capable card within a week and we can do more proper tests to see where the limits are.
On the RX decap offload: are we sure that it actually works? mac80211 hooks are present? (refering to the discussion from last night)
To actually see whether router running OpenWRT is CPU-limited we would need someone to run iperf3 between wired computer and WiFi client using a full fledged (at least) 2x2 802.11ax card. If you can push 1Gbit (which is limited by gbit ethernet) without maxing CPU then you are fine.
I finally received a QCA6391 card, so I can test the PCI outside of AX9000 as well.@sumo for the donation.
I think that everything needed for RX decap is here as the mac80211 support for it was merged in early 2021, so it was in 5.12 as well.https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/net/mac80211?h=v5.15.2&id=80a915ec4427f0083829f7e6518ee9f21521ee1e

Just noticed that these two lines get inserted into /etc/sysctl.d/qca-nss-ecm.conf on every reboot even if they already exist?
net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables=1
net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables=1
Had maybe 10 duplicate entries.

I can confirm that. I have way more than 10, and based on the last write timestamp, it happens at every sysupgrade or reboot. (likely the first one).
MOD: no, every reboot the extra two lines are added...
