Hi! I have aruba ap303 working as Access Point with openwrt.
For some strange reason on 2.4 MHz it have speed limit ~1 MB/s. However on 5MHz I have full speed.
In the begging there was no such issue and it was full speed.
What can be the reason?
To be clear, you mean slow speed?
You made no config changes, correct?
What is "full speed"?
If you made no changes, WiFi congestion?
When I am downloading torrent, for example, I have maximum rate/speed 10MBs normally (limited by my internet provider). And I have this rate now when I am using 5MHz wifi or cable.
Torrent download rate ~1 MB/s.
No any changes that can affect it.
It's pretty simple home net work, no congestion)
Actually what was strange that time to time I have this problem and solution was to check/uncheck "WMM Mode" in configurations. Now it's not working.
Took me a second to understand what you're talking about.
The rough frequency range is about 2.4GHz and about 5GHz. G for giga.
On each wifi channel there's a channel bandwidth, which is 20MHz or 40MHz (M for mega) in on the 2.4GHz band and 20MHz, 40MHz, 80MHz or 160MHz on the 5GHz band.
My first ideal was: You somehow managed to turn down your channel bandwidth on your 2.4GHz network to 5MHz.
When you're talking about 10MBs and 1MB/s, you mean "megabytes per second", which is 80MBit/s and 8MBit/s (megabit per second) respectively?
Having this misunderstanding out of the way:
Please tell us more about the actual settings of your 2.4GHz network. If possible, quote the corresponding seciton of your /etc/config/wireless file here. There are some settings that limit your wifi to very ancient behavior, affecting the max bandwidth.
Please open statu -> channel analysis to check your how crowded the 2.4GHz band is in your area. This might indicate if just switching channels can be an option.
