RE305 setup > 200Mbps

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

I know we tried before, I want one last try

I need my RE305 to get 200Mbps over wwan
relayd bridge wwan to lan as repeater

the client speed shows around 800Mbps, but the access point speed is only around 110Mbps on the device

image
speed is actually lower than it used to be

2

since it's relay, speed is reduced by half, if you use one radio for uplink and retransmit ?

if you use both, the slower one will cap you ?

I said wwan so I though you would understand its as a repeater

4

so is there a way to not half it

need to be dhcp from 192.168.1.1 and same subnet and communication between access points

5

get a triple radio device, like the Asus MAP-AC2200.

anyway of doing it with the hardware I already have

7

you haven't posted your config,

try using the AC radio as uplink only, and N radio for retransmitting only, it might get you better performance.

for some reason today download is 30Mbps and upload is 100Mbps
but 2.4GHz is not usable in this area for high speed
is there an alternative to relayd which can give me higher speed

ethernet cables, or perhaps power line adapters.

but like the title says greater than 200Mbps, the ethernet port is only 100Mbps so it has to be over wireless

11

then I'd say you're f-ed ...

so there is nothing else I can do with configuration

13

You need to set country in 2.4g too
CPU in extender is very weak, you might want to check if it clamps at 100% cpu and you can do very little to help, like disable qdiscs, maybe bridger helps, maybe wds better than relayd etc.

would WDS do what I need, needing the same subnet
that's what I was hoping for here and it was mentioned previously to me

15

Yep, its very simple, you need option wds 1 on both interconnect AP and STA, once that is setup just bridge AP(s) with same name and you are all set

I will try tomorrow then as its getting late

Why? Has anything in your local environment changed since last time? The laws of physics haven't so why do you think any new attempts will be any different than previous ones?

For your own wellbeing, just give it up. It's not going to work. Better to accept that now than it end up like it did last time.

I, too, am confused as to the purpose of this new thread.

We have been through this numerous times: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6,... basically all of your threads -- I'm counting 14 threads about this, I think.

You simply will never get the performance you are seeking via wireless. This fact will not change, and the recommendations are the same, too: run ethernet cables (we know that's not possible in your situation, but is the correct technical solution), or get really high quality powerline adapters which might work.

well apparently WDS might help
I know this is possible thats why I keep trying

REMOVE THE SOLUTION NOW
I want to try other options

what gives you the right to do that, I am the OP I say when its solved

and I am using powerline adapters for the link to the router for the main RE450 now

but am now trying to save some money

I was told WDS might help
but now there is a solution for no solution
