Hello, on an Arcadyan AW1000 with the latest firmware and configured as an access point as indicated in the wiki, connected to Starlink by cable, on the PC I have about 300 Mbits and on the Wi-Fi it doesn't go over 50 Mbits. Do I need to modify something to the stock firmware?
if you're using the stock firmware, you're asking in the wrong palace, we know nothing about it.
if you're not:
Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button:
Remember to redact passwords, MAC addresses and any public IP addresses you may have:
ubus call system board
cat /etc/config/network
cat /etc/config/wireless
cat /etc/config/dhcp
cat /etc/config/firewall
Sorry for not specifying, it's the latest OpenWRT firmware.

Please use the "Preformatted text </>" button for logs, scripts, configs and general console output.
Please edit your post accordingly. Thank you! 
I don't have access to the router now, when I have it I'll send what was requested, thanks
So then what did you just post??

The only thing I did, apart from activating the wifi, was I copied it from the wiki
Are you using 5 GHz wifi? 2.4 is not going to be fast especially if you have neighbors.
No, only 2.4 because I need more distance, but I will try the 5 and comment.
yes with 5 ghz you get more speed

Isn't usually a good choice.
If you got an Android phone, install some wifi analyzer app to see the optimal chan (least congested).
Optimal ones are 3 6 9, if I remember correctly.
thanks for the advice, I'll try to see if it improves and comment on the result
After testing the channels indicated by the app that installs on the phone, the result is the same: in 2.4 Ghz about 50mbps and in 5 Ghz if it improves to about 180 mbps, much difference with the 300 mbps of the PC by cable. Some explanation will imagine.
No, these are not the recommended channels:
Channels 1, 6, and 11 are the non-overlapping channels.

This sounds about right. You might try moving to 40MHz channel width.
This seems a bit low for 80MHz channel width on 5G, but still reasonable.
Again, this seems reasonable.... your wired connections will generally be faster than wifi because they don't have to deal with the crowded/noisy airwaves.
have you tested wifi with a device that supports wifi 6 802.11ax ? should be way higher. Unless your environment is completely smothered in neighbours wifi
I haven't tried it, and I don't have any nearby homes that saturate the wifi.
the problem will be that
The one I have has these characteristics:
WLAN: Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), 802.11a / b / g / n /
Wi-Fi 2.4G / 5.1G / 5.8G
