Slow wifi speeds

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
1

Hey all. If I plug into eth port then I get my full 1000 mbit speed however if I use wifi I will get only 197 mbits in AX mode. (note that I ideally want to only split on 2.4ghz and 5 but when I did and connected to the 5ghz I would only get 50 mbits so current config is split on mode).

Im not sure what I possibly could have configured wrong or if there is a limitation in my router. Im using a GL.iNet GL-MT6000 router with 23.05.4

config:

root@OpenWrt:~# cat /etc/config/wireless

Try 40MHz channels, or 80 if your area isn't too congested with wifi.

That bumped me up to 444 mbits so quite a bit better with 80MHz. Cheers, is this the max you reckon I can push due to some limitation or something else amiss? And do you know if I did something wrong before when having them all with same SSID and it then being limited way more?

You can push (a bit over) half of advertised BW, i.e if your client is 2-antenna AC then 433+ or if it is 2-antenna AX then 600+, if there is somebody within 50m in same cannel and you both run full bw test it becomes half.

alright. Thanks both :slight_smile:

Now only if I could have all the 5GHz modes in one network, but thats just cosmetics at least
