Re: QCA988X firmware version and speed

2018-01-28 Thread KAVITA MATHUR
Hi,

I also have same observations. Rx rate is not getting updated in iw station 
dump command
with firmware version 10.2.4.70.66.Data Throughput is also degraded by 30Mbps 
with this
version.My measure throughput was 180Mbps with firmware-5.bin_25_2.1 for HT40 
mode(2x2).


Sometimes I can see 1 SS in station dump while my radio is 2x2.Is there any 
speed
difference for the FW version 10.2.4.70.66?

Please see my AP configuration below:

QCA988X firmware version and speed

2018-01-26 Thread Nikolay Martynov
Hi.

  I've got some observation about firmware version and speed that I
would like to share.
  I have tp-link archer c5 with 'ath10k_pci :01:00.0: qca988x
hw2.0 target 0x4100016c chip_id 0x043202ff sub :' running
Openwrt.

  When I use firmware version 10.2.4.70.63-2 I get modulation speeds
about twice as large as with other firmware versions. I've also tried
10.2.4.70.66 and firmware-5.bin_10.2.4-1.0-00033 and one that was
Openwrt/Lede stock before that - all show performance noticeably worse
than 10.2.4.70.63-2.
  In fact if my laptop stands on my desk (some distance away from AP)
and I use 10.2.4.70.63-2 I get stable 2 spacial stream reception, if I
use other versions mentioned above I usually get one 1 special stream
as shown by 'iw' command on a client.

  I'm not sure if that observation if helpful or not, but since it
looks like newer FW versions have worse performance I thought I should
share it.

  Please let me know if I can provide any more information.
