Hi all,
I downloaded my image for the archer c7v5 router from downloads.openwrt.org and installed it using tftp server.
Wifi speed seems quite slow.
On my oneplus6t:
On my pc:
Is this 'normal'? With stock firmware I get 280Mbit/s on 5GHz band. I had a similar issue with the tp link archer c6. Especially the very slow 2.4 GHz on my phone is remarkable. Any advice?

Can you post /etc/config/wireless without passwords?
config wifi-device 'radio0'
option type 'mac80211'
option hwmode '11a'
option path 'pci0000:00/0000:00:00.0'

Unless this is the only 2.4 ghz wifi in that area I would reduce channel size to 20 MHz. Besides that the config to me looks ok. I do not use channel auto.
The 15 mbit on your cell phone is really strange.
Do you use 19.07.6 ?
Yes, also compiled own image, but same behavior.
You may get better throughput with the mainline driver + firmware than CT, at least that's my experience in my env with a v4. Try it and please report back.
opkg update
opkg remove kmod-ath10k-ct ath10k-firmware-qca988x-ct
opkg install kmod-ath10k ath10k-firmware-qca988x
reboot
I tried with an archer c6 v2, and the numbers do not vary much. I will keep one of my APs on the CT driver, the other one on the mainline one. Let's see...
Speeds are about the same with both drivers.
@Stefan1 which speeds do you get with your archer c6v2?
As AP in same subnet around 60-80 mbit 2ghz, around 240mbit 5ghz.
In guest net 5ghz is slightly slower (210mbit).
Is the throughput better meanwhilst on 19.07.7 using ct drivers? I am on non ct for a long time, max 500 mbit/sec go through 5ghz dump aps.
stop using openwrt because the wifi was slower than with the stock, these latest versions are still slow wifi?
@3lk0k0 depends on drivers. ct drivers cap bandwidth "magically" at 10 mbps throughput with intel 8260 sta cards and non-ct drivers provide ~ 500 mbit/sec for me in dumb ap mode.
