"Add file.nft in /etc/nftables.d (not compatible to offload) to limit output rate below what line can sustain.

Counters serve as drop indicators , not functionally necessary. Odds are high fq_codel (aka "no sqm configured") will do the rest. Not compatible with fw offload just like any qos script."
I wouldn't even know where to start with that tbh.
@anon90788666 This is a GL-MT6000 thread which has a mt7915 so no idea what that is all about. AX is not broken, I speedtest at 800Mbps down with AX enabled.
Hi, there. Looking for pointers how to continue. Using the openwrt snapshot build for this router.
I installed the router for the full time today. I tried to test lan speed with iperf3 between my PC connected with Ethernet (Cat7 cable) on the 2.5Gb port and my Macbook Air M1 connected through wifi. Whatever I do, I am stuck at around +-330Mbits/sec. Nothing changed between default setup and full setup with SFO, HWO and WED. I also tried to change between 80mhz and 160mhz. No change. Testing on 5ghz Wifi only. 2.4ghz wifi is disabled completely.
SFO in ON.
HWO is ON.
WED is ON.
Is this hardware limitation on some of my parts? My PC is rather new and has 2.5Gb ethernet port on the mobo. Macbook Air M1 should be able to reach +- 1200Mbits/sec. I am sitting in front of the router, there are no walls or anything.
Is there a way how could I check a theoretical maximum speed from router to PC and from router to Macbook? That way I would atleast be able to figure out if its fault of one of the devices.
Also, if it makes any difference, my internet provider speed is around 300-400mbits, but I guess this shoudnt even matter when I want just my lan devices to talk between each other.
I am specifically asking, because I am considers to buy Quest 3 and from what I have read, it needs much higher lan speeds then what I am getting to be able to flawlessly stream from PC to headset. Something like 900 - 1200mbps. How on earth do I do that?
Edit: So tried my mobile phone and got to 750mbits. So one of the devices is giving me weird results. Anyway the questions still stands. If the device should be capable to reaching much higher speeds, what do I do to get there? PC should theoretically be able to output 2.5gbps I guess when on 2.5gb port?
On the plus side. Amazon Prime is free shipping even if from China and Prime Card gives you 5% discount. Also a no questions asked return if necessary.
Do I understand correctly? I can just flash it with my -squashfs-sysupgrade image file thru the stock interface and I will then have their Gl.inet recovery (that's good) and my vanilla Openwrt image launching and this allows me to be able to flash back to GL.inet stock firmware if needed?
Congrats. All you gotta do is flash a sysupgrade from the oem webui, 192.168.8.1. It'll reboot into OpenWrt, then just don't forget to install luci from SSH since the snapshots don't include it.
Feel free to read through the wiki page we made for tips/etc. I recommend enabling SFO+HFO and WED, unless you are using SQM.
I'm sure everything will be obvious once I get it in front of me but thought I would ask.
I will build my own sysupgrade image with the available imagebuilder from the snapshot target folder with which I will include luci and more. I will also include some additional files to be baked into the /etc/config/ directory and such. Standard imagebuilder procedure stuff.
So you are saying that the stock "out of the box" router boots up to 192.168.8.1 as opposed to the more usual 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 or 10.xx.xx.1. Got cha. So when I flash I am flashing from a regular OpenWRT "/System/Backup/Flash Firmware" page in the router interface. DUH....Just like OpenWRT!
OK OK....So now GL.inet has this firmware file
openwrt-mt6000-4.5.4-1212-1702364339.bin
on their site for upgrading their "stock OEM" router to most current version.
Can I with this file and using my now installed and running vanilla OpenWRT and not checking save config ....Flash back to a completely stock OEM router?
If that's true...man it doesn't get any better than that.
Ordered my GL-MT6000! Approx £133 at Amazon UK but if I did have to pay customs etc from their own site (early bird pricing) it would have worked out around £110. Not too much more and I get super easy returns now. Think it was worth it. TUF-AX6000 would have been £138 so not much difference.
Nothing against Asus really but the reason I went with the GL-MT6000 is there is just so many people on the smallnetworkbuilder forums talking about how their Asus just failed. Now I'm not saying that GL.iNet won't have similar problems and they are not as big as Asus but I think giving them a chance is good.
Try a DFS channel like 108 or 120 and try using both 160MHz and 80MHz.
Should that not work then you could try using this patch, which is the original version of what @anon90788666 posted.
The patch does absolutely nothing to improve the 2.4GHz band, but it might fix things for you since it was designed to address poor 802.11ax performance via the 5GHz band. And a lot of the devices experiencing this problem seem to be from Apple.
Multiple patches have been made in an attempt to fix this issue, so it's a little difficult to follow. But I guess the issue only affects some clients, otherwise it probably would of been fixed for everyone a while ago.
@phinn
The info page still says "Note: WED must be reapplied after a sysupgrade as the file edited is not the target of a backup tarball". But modules.conf is included in the backup and you don't need to reapply the setting.
@u251 oem url might be different, they have a fully custom UI (looks very nice actually) over Luci, but yea just drag the sysupgrade image and flash, don't keep settings, then you're running official OpenWrt in seconds.
I actually updated the OEM Gl.inet firmware to 4.5.4 (same as you linked) before flashing to OpenWrt, just to see if it still worked. Sure enough it did.
It seems like you can also flash back to OEM this way, but no one has tried it yet so I'm not sure.
It actually does get better though - my WRT32X is a dual-boot router, you can leave OEM on one partition and just reboot to it from advanced-reboot package. Oh well, this is a close second for ease of use
7 day uptime so far everything is quite stable zero issues.
@thedude removed the note. Interestingly I got that info from another Filogic based doc page forget which. There is a lot of outdated info on various pages, even the TUF-AX6000 page has some outdated info. Our page is looking to be the best right now
Nice find. Yes it's the same for us... Airtime fairness is important for a congested network for throughput and latency so some may want to avoid enabling WED or try on/off and see how it works for them.
For now I've added a note to the WED section of our wiki page. I'll keep an eye on that thread too.
How well do I know...
I started with a Linksys WRT1900 and then onto (2) Linksys WRT3200ASM's. Linksys actually promoted open source on the front of the box!
I just assumed any good router would be dual partition. Sadly not true. As clean as an open source machine this GL appears to be and with ALL that flash space I hoped they were to return to dual partitions.
Still have my WRT's. Still use them. 23.05.2 lives on partition one and snapshots on partition two. There was a time when Linksys OEM stock lived on partition one and OpenWRT lived on partition two.
Radios (Marvel) are just to dated and had to move on.
The GL's OEM software uses its own package repositories I would guess and probably means no imagebuilder offered. I sure they know people would want one if possible.
Can you ssh into the stock software?
Does it have a reset that wipes the config files?
Yep my WRT32X was a beast got it for $120 used and was my router for 6+ years. For the MT6000 yes SSH is on by default, you can sysupgrade that way too. All the info is on our wiki page now.
@NinjaBreaker not sure about R7800, but yea I would consider this a successor in the sense it's significantly more performant, way more storage/ram/cpu, mt76 is a great WiFi 6 driver, 2.5G, even has the oddball side USB port lol. Having official hardware offloading is a great addition (instead of unofficial NSS builds). It's relatively compact too and not ridiculous looking.
edit: I should add that the DL-WRX36 is just as promising, and there are now great looking NSS builds for it, amazing what that router does for $80. Only issue I heard is Ath11k (wifi driver) still needs work.
