Everyone, I've just updated my Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH to OpenWRT 10.03.1-rc5. I'm writing a blog post about it which I'll post here shortly. I can definitely see some improvements to ath9k wireless stability, and I'm happy to see that multiple ESSIDs (with different encryption methods) now works.
However, wireless throughput is dramatically lower. I believe someone posted about this recently, but I cannot find the post. Using iperf to burst large volumes of UDP traffic, I've found the following results: Linksys WRT-54-GL with DD-WRT v24-sp1 - 28.5 mbit Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH with 10.03.1-rc4 - 23.9 mbit Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH with 10.03.1-rc5 - 6 mbit One difference is that wifi mode before the upgrade was B+G only and used WPA, whereas I'm now using G+N, and WPA2. I realise that's comparing apples to oranges, so I'll test again this evening with the same settings. Nonetheless, 6 mbit is dramatically worse. The CPU is otherwise idle. Local gigabit LAN speeds consistently rate at 930 mbit using 1500-byte packets. Is this a known issue? Does anyone have any suggestions?
