I need to get a sense of how much performance I can get out of a Linksys WRT1900AC running OpenWRT and little else. I have such a system for my home network. Three adult users, heavy Internet for 2 of 3, lots of streaming, 1 user gaming a lot, etc. Propably 25 wireless devices (3 phones, 3 tablets, 1 1080p TV, 5 Echo Dots, a few Phillips Hue lights and a bridge).
I seem to have really poor WiFi. Wired devices are rock solid. But everything is painfully slow and unreliable on tablets or phones.
I don't know where to start to troubleshoot this. I do have screen cap of the 'Status' > 'Realtime Graphs' > 'Wireless' >WLAN0 tab, but don't know how to upload it yet. Will do as soon as I can figure that out.
On this screen, I thinkk I get the upper graph (Signal to Noise); mine shows an almost constant -50db Signal, with a very spikey Noise below -80db. Normal?
The lower graph shows a constant 35 Mbits/s usage; soometimes goes as high as 50 Mbits/sec. Almost flat-line constant. This seems wrong to me.
Any help appreciated. Can send more specifics if required. Just trying to get a sense of what I can expect before digging further.
