The following change must be reverted in order to prevent the drastic drop in WIFI throughput in 23.05.4.

64

Thanks. I will look into it. However, I am not likely to be available to do a new build for at least a week.

65

The 23.05 branch has been updated with new backports that fix the WIFI throughput problem.

Here's a new build. The only difference is applied patch from commit 56a84b3c4754f96a64a17bcc9730358ac48ba993 to fix WiFi performance.

Did you enable software offloading?

Yes! both checked (software and hardware) no luck, I've tried irqbalance, disabling ipv6, changing country code, channels, no luck at all. I'll keep reading a bit more

Do never enable hardware offloading unless your device is using Mediatek chip. Enable only software offloading. You can also try to switch to ath10k instead of the default ath10k-ct.

Ty vochong, I tried installing kmod-ath10k and uninstalling ath10k-ct, but I guess I broke it, how should I switch them the right way?
BTW after that I did a fresh install, my speed is back to 64% of my full speed after enabling software offloading and irqbalance.
The odd thing is if I disable WMM my speed goes down to 5%

72

New build is up for v23.05.5.

Unfortunately with the latest builds my WiFi throughput maxes out at around 300-350Mbps.

74

Which is within expectations for a 2x2 client and VHT80.

75

I will start working on patches for 24.10.0 in the next couple of days. I don't know when I'll do a release. Could be a few weeks.

Be aware of the DSA and nvmem related changes, those aspects will need some attention.

77

Hello there, how things going ?

@jmomo
Do you have a copy of the DTB or DTS file of the original (OEM) TEW-827DRUv1.0R firmware? Thanks.

Sorry for the delay. I am still supporting this device and will have an update out when I can. I recently had a physical injury and I've just been too busy with other things. I kind of wanted to wait for the .1 release anyway.
