Here at QuintanaLibre we have been testing these new routers and we'd like to share some results, in case someone has any tips on how to improve performance.
There's a blog post (spanish) on the tests here: http://blog.altermundi.net/article/performance-de-equipos-multi-banda-tl-wdr3600/ The important bit is that with the original firmware we get a throughput of 170 Mbits/sec, while with OpenWRT we get roughly 80 Mbits/sec. Links report: 300.0 MBit/s MCS 15 40Mhz short GI, but actual transfer rate seems low, at almost 100Mbits/s less than the results with the original firmware. One detail is that HT capabilities seem to be making no difference. These two different wireless settings (uci output) produce the exact same results: wireless.radio1.ht_capab = SHORT-GI-20 GI-40 TX-RX STBC-STBC1 DSSS_CCK-40 wireless.radio1.ht_capab = SHORT-GI-40 Changing modes from adhoc to ap/sta made no noticeable difference either. Regards, NicoEchániz altermundi.net PS: The ath9k devel list seems to be having problems so I couldn't post this to that list also. _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
