NWA50AX Pro half download speed

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi!

I'm a bit lost, I only get half the download speed over wifi of what the AP is getting over LAN.

What I tried so far on OpenWRT:

What I tried so far on OpenWRT:

  • Packet Steering setting to:
    • Enabled: did not help
    • Enabled (All CPU): did not help
    • Disabled: did not help
  • Channel setting to:
    • auto: did not help
    • 36: did not help
  • Channel width setting to:
    • 160 MHz: did not help
    • 80MHz: did not help
  • Routing/NAT Offloading setting to:
    • None: did not help
    • Software: did not help
    • Hardware: did not help

On the MacBook:

sudo /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport en0 prefs DisableInactivitySleep=YES

Nothing changed the download speed.

My setup is:

MacBook -> AP -> GoCOAX (MoCA 2.5) -> LAN -> OPNsense -> Internet (Fiber 300/300)

The NAS (192.168.40.10) I run iperf3 on is inside LAN. I can see the exact same behaviour on my iPhone 14.

never run iperf on the device you're stress testing.
run tests through it, not on it.

What do you mean by that? I run the iperf3 server on my NAS.

so AP-Downstairs isn't your OpenWRT device ?

can you show you the output of iwinfo assoclist

Something like this

root@openwrt:~# iwinfo phy1-ap0 assoclist
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx  -33 dBm / -91 dBm (SNR 58)  1340 ms ago
        RX: 1134.2 MBit/s, HE-MCS 11, 80MHz, HE-NSS 2, HE-GI 1, HE-DCM 0       278 Pkts.
        TX: 1200.9 MBit/s, HE-MCS 11, 80MHz, HE-NSS 2, HE-GI 0, HE-DCM 0       159 Pkts.
        expected throughput: 1002.2 MBit/s

The width looks like 80 MHz to me.

What is GoCOAX?

Yes it is, I see you edited your post, so only the results form MacBook via AP to NAS are valid?
But it still doesn't explain why my Internet Speed is half of what it should be, or does it?

When I run speedtest on the NAS or OPNsense I get also get around 300/300 Mbps

YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY is the macbook.

I switched from 160 to 80 in the settings.

GOCoax is a MoCA adapter: https://www.gocoax.com/

9

Which results are those?

Your post isn't clear.

I assume it's running at 2.0 bonded or greater?

10

It' a MoCA 2.5 with a 2.5 Gbps interface.

I edited the post

11

You linked the entire first post (i.e., the one I said was unclear).

Then you just edited after.

I'll review later, it just got more confusing.

12

I tried to make it clearer, after I saw that linking to a heading is not working.

13

OK.

I see 300/300.

Interesting. Have you tried testing with 160 MHz?

14

What I tried so far on OpenWRT:

  • Packet Steering setting to:
    • Enabled: did not help
    • Enabled (All CPU): did not help
    • Disabled: did not help
  • Channe setting to:
    • auto: did not help
    • 36: did not help
  • Channel width setting to:
    • 160 MHz: did not help
    • 80MHz: did not help
  • Routing/NAT Offloading setting to:
    • None: did not help
    • Software: did not help
    • Hardware: did not help

Or do you mean forcing the MacBook / iPhone to 160Mhz? Because I don't know how I would do that.

15

HW acceleration chapter in https://openwrt.org/toh/gl.inet/gl-mt6000#hardware_acceleration might be worth reading/applying.

I'll test it.

17

Do you have a non Apple device to test?

18

It's active:

root@AP-Downstairs:~# cat /sys/module/mt7915e/parameters/wed_enable
Y

But running speed test on the macbook give still the same result, the download speed is about half of the upload:

❯ ./speedtest --output text
...
TEST_SERVER_DISTANCE=2
LATENCY=6
JITTER=0
DOWNLOAD_SPEED=137.85
UPLOAD_SPEED=275.35
19

I got a Raspberry Pi 4B, but I need to set it up. Mean while I tested it on my Home Assistant Box via the speed test integration. It also gets about half the download speed when using wifi.

Wifi on the RPi 4B seems to be limited to 100Mbps, so no clear results here:

nils@RPi-4:~/speedtestcpp $ ./speedtest --output text
...
TEST_SERVER_DISTANCE=2
LATENCY=5
JITTER=0
DOWNLOAD_SPEED=103.68
UPLOAD_SPEED=106.65

I also found this: Zyxel NWA50AX Revert to Stock (SOLVED) - #3 by andyboeh

I checked on my device:

Is my understanding correct, that I could run zyxel-bootconfig /dev/mtd9 set-active-image 1 to boot into the stock firmware on slot 1, test this with the stock firmware and boot back into openwrt by selecting to boot into slot 0 from the stock firmware?

Because I think I remember getting full download speed when using the stock firmware.
