Plusnet hub one repeater setup

Firewall setting. Search forums or wiki for information.

Without offloading, you get 120 Mbps - I no longer believe you have an issue [IRL].

this is the last device in the house, and seems to be the best of them all

why is the cpu usgae higher but the speed the same

I'm guessing you didn't review the above posts?

A moderator also told you in another thread - his words sum it up best:

I think this best explains the matter after multiple threads that attempt the same things. Apologies you feel they're all different. Out of the respect of the fact it upset you when I requested a moderator close the thread - perhaps you should have the honor of asking the moderator close your topic here.

that has made so much difference

180Mbps download
140Mbps upload

who marked it solved

i'm happy with them speeds anyway

Happy with the STA speed
Not so much the AP speed

STA to Ethernet 180Mbps
STA to AP 40Mbps

I'm, fairly sure at one point I read the AP you are using came out in ~2016
This video shows it is, at least, 6 years old.

The average ISP speed in the UK was ~16Mbit/s
You only get to look at it once and then it is paywalled.

For its day, it was, at least, twice the average ISP speed.
We've tried to explain this many different ways but I'm sure this is the end of it.

I.E. it was not made to handle, even, 100Mbit/s wirelessly, but somehow pulls off 40-60-120 (to whatever you tell us in the next post).

Really2
Rx/Tx
Is this what you are talking about with speed???
Do you, really, think my MT3000 is going to pull off 720.6 Mbit/s transmit speeds??

Where to place your router, from the manufacturer.

Reread the thread, and all the other one's that we've delt with.
I swear, I might know more about your router than mine, at this point.

Really, we had 37Mbps in 2016
70Mbps from around 2019
now were on 200Mbps fibre
I know why its 16Mbps, there are a lot of rural areas with just ADSL not even FTTC

I have seen 200Mbps with that same adapter on my laptop

Real speed not the link speed
I can get 180Mbps with my laptop connected over ethernet
but on 40Mbps with my iPhone over the USB AP

I already have good placement locations for the RE450 and the plusnet router
both upstairs, one near the back of the house one near the front, full coverage wherever you are on the property

Yeah, Sorry about that

I know the adapter is capable within windows
could it be the fact its right next to the 12 volts power input
or would only mains 240 volts cause issues like that

It there is inference from the router somewhere a USB extension cable will not work

0 volts at the end of it

It must have disabled its usb port

4.96 volts now, isn’t that slightly low

64Mbps with the USB extension

443.3 Mbps my iPhone is connected to the AP at according to openwrt wireless page

That’s the maximum of the adapter

Should that give me higher than 64Mbps,
On my windows laptop like I said I have had 200Mbps, maybe it just does not like being an AP

Laptops (generally) are likely to have more capable WiFi antennas. But the key takeaway from this (and every other thread you've had about this 'issue') is that WiFi is inherently inconsistent. There are a huge number of factors that impact on latency and transmission speeds. Some of these are static, some can vary from second to second.

If you want reliable, consistent speeds use wire. Otherwise learn to live with what you have.

but the usb adapter was being used, so its using its antenna

its not inconsistent, I just think I am probably at the adapter limitations or the router power limitations

we have been over why that is not possible 200 million times

I have a STA that can do 180Mbps to the LAN sockets, so buy a second RE450 maybe, run it in tp-link AP mode and problem solved

could also be a driver issue, I don't know which is the correct driver, so I installed all the mediatek ones

Both devices involved in the transmission need to have antennas...

And yet it is.

We've also been over why you're not going to achieve what you want the same number of times (or at least it feels that way). Not stopped you beating the horse into fine pulp though has it?

Yeah, maybe do that. Please don't run OpenWRT on anything. Let some other forum/support service try to explain the same things you've been told here repeatedly. Who knows, it might finally sink in.

the laptops internal wireless was disabled and using the usb adapter directly to the RE450

Because I am so close now
the STA part is working
but the AP part is not

I will even if I do that, because a second RE450 would need to be in AP mode, as repeater mode messes with MAC addresses

Its not that I don't understand how Wi-Fi works
again nobody seems to like me
see what happenes when you don't give up as well, 180Mbps STA

I have achieved what I wanted with the raspberry pi 4 but with the plusnet router

just seen to get the same speed with the AP, either USB or second RE450
even though the RE450 has gone up in price since I bought the first one

You don't. That's been proven time and time again. The fact this is still ongoing is evidence of that.

why has nobody believed anything since December
I knew it would be possible somehow and it 90% was

nobody thought this would work, except me

The god like ability knew this was possible

anyway, looks like me only option is to connect a second RE450 to the plusnet router

final chance if anyone know how to get the USB AP faster
I will be buying another RE450 later today
but if anyone can save me £54.99

By using different hardware. Which is what you were advised to do months ago. This isn't you proving the world wrong, all you've done is proven that you should've paid better attention to what you were told back then.

And it still hasn't got you to the speed you insisted was the minimum you'd be happy with.

I can probably answer on behalf of everyone here. No-one wants a 'final chance' to give you more advice you will inevitably ignore if it doesn't work out exactly how you imagine it should, or have to try and work out what your posts are actually trying to say.

Please just go and buy the RE450. And if that doesn't work, please don't start yet another thread about it. Just accept WiFi isn't going to get you what you want.

I didn't even know the plusnet router could run openwrt until last week

why can nobody understand my posts

it will, if my laptop connected over ethernet to the plusnet router get 170-180Mbps, the RE450 will

This is the last thread for this topic, and the last thread for a while from me
unless we upgrade the faster internet

except it is doing it

I meant until I buy the RE450

anyway I am mostly happy with how this has gone

TLDR, if we're assuming wifi, won't you hit RE305 setup > 200Mbps - #2 by frollic ?

Apparently it wasn’t relayd but the fact I was using the same radio

... as the 1w old post says.

It was also the 1st reply you got in the old thread.

If you want full speed, connect two REs back to back, or get a triple band device - something you've also been told.
