Tested with WIFI ax CUDY 6 in relayd configuration
WIth OEM drivers
With OpenWrt Firmware Version 22.03.3 r20028-43d71ad93e
Kernel Version 5.10.161
Not perfect for uplink but very good for downlink
still think the non-vendor mt76 driver pretty much the only way to go for usb wireless on linux, it has been reliable for years
I have an old comfast MT7612U adapter that has even been working reliably in AP mode for a while now as well, i'm not sure if latency is super great but as far as just having tablets do basic media around the house it's fine, 32+ megabytes/sec in both directions connected to a rock64 running openwrt
Posting speedtests in the developers section should be something interesting.
But I only see speedtests. Where/what's the news?

Which model may I ask? I am looking for USB one nowadays.
Hi.
You are testing two features simultaneously: routing and wifi. How do you know the one that is the bottleneck? The relay means that you are using another wifi, so another bottleneck?
- perform LAN (eth) to LAN (wifi) bandwidth, with iperf3 and you will test the wifi efficiency.
- perform LAN (eth) to WAN(eth) bandwith (with speedtest if you want) and you will test the WAN.
Just for info, the snapshot includes a patch that enhance HW offloading for even better performance. It will be available in the next major release. Does someone have perform test with kernel 5.15? I'm eager to test.
NB : delete your IP in the pictures.

Agreed, moved to the general section. There is nothing develop-y about this.

sorry but i not use wan ... ( relayd )
Computer <- Lan -> OpenWrt WIFI 5 GHZ <- LiveBox 6 Orange -> Fiber 2 * 1 Gigabits
OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r22125-52ddb38469 / LuCI Master git-23.039.28596-41e9b8d
Kernel Version 5.15.94
Improvements with firewall -> Software flow offloading
download very good, but still weak for upload
You do use WAN on the OpenWrt router. No need of relayd, it's a double NAT.
So apparently you have better result with kernel 5.15? I will install kernel 5.15 on a EA7300v2 in a few days. Stay tuned.
I have to use wwan / relayd because it doesn't work with my LiveBox 6
-> With very old OpenWrt 17.01 & OEM drivers , PandoraBox or Padavan don't have to use relayd
Try to setup the Livebox in bridge mode (ok ... I'm asking for fun, I know the answer), or use a double NAT.
no possibility as:
Computer <- Lan -> OpenWrt WIFI 5 GHZ <- LiveBox 6 Orange -> Fibre 2*1 Gigabits
Run only Computer <- Lan -> OpenWrt 2 WPS <- WIFI -> OpenWrt 1 WPS <-Lan -> <- LiveBox 6 Orange -> Fibre 2*1 Gigabits
Still a little effort for upload speed
Also the STA/AP functionnality with my Livebox 6 (as with OpenWrt 1 WDS <- WIFI -> OpenWrt 2 WDS) so without using the relayd
As Pandorabox , PADAVAN, OpenWrt with OEM drivers & ....
