Belkin RT3200/Linksys E8450 WiFi AX discussion

HI,

I have 2 RT3200 routers.

The first is on OpenWrt 23.05.5. Hardwired I get around 970Mb (1Gig line). Great.

The second one, I have upgraded to 24.10.2. The max I get is around 400Mb.

Both are configured the nearly exactly the same (vlan setup for Cityfibre UK ISP. https://www.ispreview.co.uk/talk/threads/openwrt-on-zen.39588/ )

The difference is that on the first one I have a wan6 Virtual dynamic interface (DHCPv6 client) and a guest network.

Software & Hardware offloading configured on both.

Maybe there i a setting I missed ?. Or could it be 24.10 is that much slower with this configuration. Could I backup settings from the 23.05 and restore it to the 24.10 router to to ensure settings are exactly the same (I don’t want to brick the router !)

Thanks

After reading more, could this be the issue ?:

The fix/workaround seems to be here

It states ‘Then apply this patch (note if ppoe lowlevel device is not vlan like eth0.1 it is not sufficient)’ My vlan is on base device ‘wan’ - so I am guessing I’m ok trying this fix?
