#21891: ar71xx ath9k gets 15 to 20 mbps down/up
--------------------+------------------------
 Reporter:  zeroth  |      Owner:  developers
     Type:  defect  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal  |  Milestone:
Component:  kernel  |    Version:  Trunk
 Keywords:          |
--------------------+------------------------
 ath9k on ar71xx is slow. 15-20 mbps is the maximum speed achieved on
 downstream and on upstream with current trunk (2016/02/19).

 The chosen channel doesn't influence performance.

 The client connects at 54/54mbps. Idle CPU usage was between 40% and 60%
 during testing.

 signal: between -38 and -50 dBm
 noise: -95 dBm
