Hello, a few days ago I installed a community build for my Comfast CF-E538AC access point. I got it all up and running, with all links set to 1000Mbps and two Wi-Fi networks configured.
However, when I connect either by using 5GHz WiFi or in the Ethernet port of the AP, I cannot get past 300Mbps. The original stock firmware could reach 600Mbps (the limit of my connection) when using the RJ45 port, but now I cannot.
I do not know how to check if it has NAT offload or where can I find the settings to enable it.
I am referring to speed results from speedtest.net using WiFi, but I also have the problem when connected via Ethernet cable.
Yes, the stock firmware could reach 600Mbps when connected to the RJ45 port, and the device is advertised as a "1200Mbps AP". It is a Comfast CF-E538AC.
NAT is not relevant for an AP but wifi driver. Support cartainly is. Wifi drivers from mfgs often have tweaks not available to the public is my impression
Those are bad news
I hope that when an official release for my device comes up it is more tweaked, for the time being I can use the AP just with 300Mbps.
I have the WiFi adapters bridged with the back port (which is connected to the router) and then the front port connects with the back port via a VLAN using the switch chip. It really seems that it is a processor issue, because the manufacturer may have applied some tweaks that vanilla OpenWRT does not have.
Hmm I'm not sure about this device but if there is a switch chip there is no need for a cpu bridge, just have the front port and back port on the same vlan and let the switch chip do it's job
