Hi,
I have compared the WiFi speed of c5_v4_v22.03.1.zip and factory firmware with iperf3.
I don't know if there's some configuration to improve the performance, but this is not good enough for me.
I will keep using factory firmware configured as dummy AP and switch (bridge wan to lan).
It's still nice though, that there's newer openwrt version for the router.
the latest ROM v22.03.2 from dkpost3 is really good to use.
i have tested in my home. compared with 19.07.2 from benwht, the wireless performance especially 2.4g improved a lot.
2.4G 802.11n 2T2R 20MHZ:
19.07.2(abount 23Mbps) 22.03.2(about 65Mbps)
5G 802.11ac 2T2R 80MHZ:
19.07.2(abount 220Mbps) 22.03.2(about 261Mbps)
The only issue is that the this version can not use the official kmods because the vermagic of kernel is different from official. That could be solved by a little hack in compiling.
However, I have no urgent need for kmods, so the current version is completely available. Thanks very much for developers' efforts. I will continue to use it for a period of time to report other information about its stability.
Hi, I did the testing with v22.03.2 (OpenWrt 22.03.2 r19803-9a599fee93 / LuCI openwrt-22.03 branch git-22.288.45147-96ec0cd, kernel 5.10.146).
I run iperf3 on my laptop and I use the laptop's LAN and WLAN (Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9560 160MHz).
I'm binding the iperf3 server on LAN: iperf3 -s -B 192.168.1.242
And I run the iperf3 client from WLAN: iperf3 -c 192.168.1.242 -B 192.168.1.229 -t 30 -P 2
Does GigaSwitch have to do with Ethernet? - yes
Will Ethernet currently not work with OpenWRT? - no
Or is it working fine? - both the wire and the air work. The only caveat is speed. see the tests above, and if that's enough for you - great
Hi, im using this build, im getting really great wifi 5Ghz performance and good cable performance either, 200mbps, in open wrt 22 builds my max is 160mbps.
Hi,
I would like to use the c5 v4 together with another tp-link for fast roaming and meshing at the garden. Is package wpad-basic-wolfssl also in the dkpost3's build?
Thanx , TomS
Welcome to our forum Deepansh. Sorry about your troubles. I wish things were easier. Debugging is a long arduous process. I hope you have the patience and stamina for it. First step is to send me photographs of your set up and screenshot of the entire log. I will review and recommend further actions.
Thank you Deepansh. I may have identified the problem. You are using thin wires. The GND wire is acceptable but you need thick copper wires for your signals. Please replace the wires and report.
Alright, let me find better cables. if I can.
As an alternative TFTP recovery installation does not seem to work too, there is no read request on the TFTP server after booting the router with the reset button pressed. Any suggestions there?
Thick solid copper wires are available at your local electrical store. Alternate TFTP requires about a month of debugging. Ignore it. Stock firmware links are posted previously.
Unless the cables are really bottom of the barrel, the ones in that picture should do fine for the given task. Yes, they could be a bit shorter, but the core diameter doesn't matter that much here, we're talking about a few mA to transfer.
