Zyxel nbg6617/ipq4019 regression in Wifi 5GHz

hgblob · January 8, 2020, 7:39pm

This is my build of the Archer C7 v2 with hostapd 2.8.
openwrt-sysupgrade - Wetransfer download link
I already shared this with @systemcrash, please check the sha256 sum before flashing just in case:

sha256sum openwrt-19.07-snapshot-r10194+603-c53f62b111-ar71xx-generic-archer-c7-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin 
3303618b3ed2d70caab11d7f23f76755303974bfbef4fb5463a40df49dd7b470  openwrt-19.07-snapshot-r10194+603-c53f62b111-ar71xx-generic-archer-c7-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

Please remember I don't have a Archer device so I can't really test this binary.

I think at this point we are seeing this issue on at least 3 different devices, so it's more likely related to hostapd rather than a specific card or device.

so why this is not a problem on other devices, other target? i have alot devices and this problem is only present on my zyxel 6617, this is the only device i have with this target, and ath10k

i think the problem here is more ath10k , ath10k-candela, or any ath10k

Ok, have tried your build. My results for 5 Ghz are at http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/58319719. It works better than the results I was seeing on the snapshots after 11 Sep (seconds - See FS#2563 but it's still not great.

Here's my results for 18.06.5 - http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/58319798 which are much better.

The big tell is ping consistency, as I noted earlier somewhere. Run from any computer via 5GHz connection and let it run for 20 or so seconds e.g.

ping 8.8.8.8

Ok, here's the ping results for 18.06.5

Ping statistics for 8.8.8.8:
    Packets: Sent = 100, Received = 81, Lost = 19 (19% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 23ms, Maximum = 1059ms, Average = 243ms

And for completeness here is a really ugly bufferbloat speedtest for the 19.07.0-rc2 image: http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/58320732

The change to hostapd 2.9 is obviously a big problem here. However, the hostapd 2.8 version that @hgblob did still exhibits higher than normal ping latency under load (bufferbloat) indicating there is something going on in hostapd 2.8 that the changes in 2.9 push right over the edge.

One more thing that I did to fix throughput for my wireguard VPN running on the router was to switch the scaling governor to performance. The ondemand governor was basically not switching fast enough through the DVFS table and for whatever reasons the wireguard throughput was very low.

echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

but depending on the system your router might run a bit(or more hotter). It adds about +2oC operating temp.

I think Qualcomm(Atheros?) is affected, Archer C7 v2 is a ath9k device.

ath9k is my love and i cannot confirm that, i think i have over 20 ath9k devices

Looks like there are some updates your original bug report.
FS 2679

I will try the precompiled image for EA6350v3 offered by Petr Štetiar. It contains very latest hostapd 2.9.
TESTING! hostapd: update to hostap_2_9-542-g33c8a10498c1

Update: Sadly, no improvement when using test image for EA6350 v3. Downloads still stuck at < 15 Mbps.

I also tested the commit on NBG6617 and I didn't see any improvements either.

Seems like this patch fixes the problem, or at least it fixes it on ipq4019.
