Hi, i succesfuly configured back in the day thanks to psherman an ap in this thread, Guest dumb ap setup [Solved] - #2 by slevin
But after some buferring problems in the ap i realized that no lan or wifi conection will give more than 100 Mb download speed, where in the main router i have 300.
In the aps switch section i can see the wan port has "1000baseT
full-duplex" so i think the fisical conection should be good.
Is there something i am missing? Thank you
Do not use the wan port, try with only lan ports
That was a psherman configuration so if a device connects to a lan port it will get an ip from the subnet, so they can not access the main routers subnet witch work perfect.
ubus call system board from the extender?
i am sorry i have no idea what do you mean with that
Wait, this?

If it is a dumb ap it does not matter what port you use unless you use a trunk port for vlans.
My answer not using the wan port is because on some routers traffic always goes via the cpu if connected via the wan, so if possible it is an easy test not using the wan port.
Unless of course you are using a trunk port, in which case forget what I wrote
I am sorry i have no idea what a trunk port means, we configured it this way so the ap has no way to see the main routers subnet because the ap is in my fathers house
OK, not the fastest device out there
bridger package may help
still 100Mbps - check if cable ends show gigabit link speed.
and 10% more if you disable switch vlan-s, it is a bit tricky - add eth0 to br-lan, then untag vlan1 CPU port, then disable switch vlans (and rip out all WAN remnants)
i dont know if helps but, if i run "ethtool eth0" via ssh on the ap i get
Settings for eth0:

Totally useless, eth0 is connected to internal switch. You jave to find real ports in luci/network switch or swcconfig
And in Network interfaces devices "A"
And in this switch "B"
A: add eth0 as a br-lan member
B: untag vlan1 on cpu eth0
A: remove eth0.1 from br-lan
A: disable WAN WAN6 by de-selecting eth0.2
B: disable gl0bal vlan support here
obviously checking each step if you can still access the device.
"A: add eth0 as a br-lan member" done
"B: untag vlan1 on cpu eth0" done
"A: remove eth0.1 from br-lan" theres no eth0.1 in br-lan now, only eth0 and eth0.2
"A: disable WAN WAN6 by de-selecting eth0.2" Do i remove eth0.2 from br-lan?
"B: disable gl0bal vlan support here" This?
Yes, that one.
Make new 5ghz AP with wpa2 or wpa3 and make a test
https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat
i removed eth 0.2 from br-lan and disabled vlans, created a new 5Ghz wifi and i get same speed teste results i am afraid, tested it with a orange pi zero 3 with ethernet conection and the speedtest docker cli and i get 130 down and up still
I asked to use normal desktop browser against a website.
You mean this?
I get this in the mains routers wifi
And this conected to the main router via ethernet
Did you install bridger package?
i dont think so, but i can check, do you mean in the main router, the ap or both?
i checked both and i dont see it under Installed software
