Below are my WRT1900ACSv2 configurations for improved WiFi performance, kept from rc2:
- Installed irqbalance. Change 'enabled' from '0' to '1' in '/etc/config/irqbalance'. Essential.
- Enabled SQM. Significant improvement.
- Disabled 802.11w (previously known to provide issues on mwlwifi). May not be necessary.
- Patched firmware-88w8864 mwlwifi specific high latencies by disabling tx_amsdu. Essential. Add in luci > startup > local startup (nano /etc/rc.local) the following commands:
echo "0" >> /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/mwlwifi/tx_amsdu
echo "0" >> /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy1/mwlwifi/tx_amsdu
