Interesting. So the only way to disable this, to do a custom build?

Seems like it - I gave it a shot and did a custom build for my WDR4300 v1.6 today with source pulled from trunk, applied the patch mentioned in the post above (https://drive.google.com/folderview?id= … sp=sharing) to disable EEE on the wan port and so far everything seems to be finally working the way it should ! (Can't lose the smile on my face - finally running OpenWRT without bigger issues ! ;-)

I put up my custom build images Barrier Breaker build revision r41549 incl. LuCI & disabled EEE (only on the WAN port!) here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id= … 1JTkE#list (WDR3500, WDR3600, WDR4300(il),WDR4310)

Also, it seems as if the EEE feature only fails when connected to certain other devices (e.g. Technicolor 7200). Maybe this is why not everyone is experiencing this problem on these routers with OpenWRT.

Cheers

OMG this is very nice. So I can flash any of these:

openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wdr4300-v1-squashfs-factory.bin
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wdr4300-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

onto my TP-Link WDR4300 v1.7? Because I have this issue while connecting with my Ziggo UBEE cable modem.

Yes, exactly. You should be able to flash them according to the Wiki (http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl- … stallation) provided that you stick to the warning and only flash the factory (and NOT the sysupgrade) image out of the original TP-Link firmware. Please confirm if the images also solve the problem for you - Feedback is much appreciated

I am a bit occupied tonight (it's NED vs ARG and I am from NED), but I will test it ASAP. Is there any chance this will make it into the official trunk?

I don't think that this patch is gonna make it into trunk, since it disables EEE on the WAN port, which actually should work when enabled but obviously doesn't when connected to a certain type of network device (Ziggo UBEE, Technicolor 7200, maybe others!?). What actually needs to be done would be to fix the EEE feature in the switch drivers of OpenWRT (at least I guess it could be fixed - I am not an active OpenWRT developer though). I will try to link back to this thread in this ticket - let's hope that a developer picks up this problem...

I can confirm that this completely solves the issue! Hopefully it will get fixed. I will also post in the ticket that was opened.

Hi, I also have the same poor switching erformance with my WDR4300 on OpenWrt Chaos Calmer 15.05 / LuCI (git-15.248.30277-3836b45)

But even while Searching the net and this board - I´m not able to find out how to install this patch or changeset?

Don´t understand wether I can upgrade it with opkpg or what I have to do. Is someone so kind and would tell me how I can install this changeset ?

And I´m still wondering this would work as WDR4300 is using AR9344 and the changeset 41577 seems to be for AR8216. But maybe I´m totally wrong?

So I would appreciate if someone could help me!

Ok, thanks for your help.
Very strange. Since I first went from stock Firmware to dd-wrt I had this issue with poor switching Performance in LAN. Hoped openwrt would solve it.

I stream HD Content from Windows PC via SMB to Kodi on Amazon Fire TV. Never had any issues. When I use an very old 100Mbit Switch instead of my WDR4300 with openwrt it works like a charme.
So maybe I should go back to stock Firmware...very sad about it.
