Hi everybody, i have this router with an external ralink antenna with kmod 2800 driver. It works fine but the download on the external antenna is somehow capped at 12mb, no matter what it will never go beyind that.
I also have a 4000N router and with the same antenna on same position it gives 25mb. I dont know what but something isnt going well with the hg556.
What i have tried so far:
-Diferent firmwares (excluding 18 cause it breaks cal_data).
-Edit wireless file and put N in hwmode, b or g.
- 20 and 40Mhz bands.
- with option wmm 1 and 0.
I dont know what is limiting to 12mb, i tough that maybe somehow its related to usb 1.1 speeds. I have attached dmesg result here, i dont know what else to do since my linux knowledge is very basic, so please, any help for dummies would be apreciated.
