Slow wifi 5ghz

Technical Support for Routers
21

I’m not claiming this is scientific, but I ran several speedtest.net tests from my AX laptop through the MT3000 in WISP mode through the AX88 router. My ISP link is 200/35, limited by Cake to 190/30.

If I connected the laptop directly to the AX88, I got 190/31 on the Asus 5G band (essentially, full speed) and 108/29 on the 2.4G band.

If I connected the laptop to the 5G LAN band on the MT3000, I got 185/30 with it connected to the Asus 2.4G band and 135/30 on the MT3000 5G band.

If I connected the laptop to the 2.4G LAN band on the MT3000, I got 17/12 with it connected to the Asus 2.4G band and 59/29 with it connected on the Asus 5G band.

So essentially full speed connecting to the 5G on the MT3000, with the WISP connection on 2.4G, but I sort of expected the same with the WISP connection on the 5G band. The 2.4G WISP connection is actually worse than my Mango at 22/18.

I did these from default, setting only the admin password and the SSID details for the Asus.

EDIT:
I took the MT3000 down to the public library to test on their 5G AC wifi. Connecting directly with the Yoga, speedtest reported 135/158.
Connected to the MT3000 on the 5G band and the MT3000 to the library wifi gave me 12/49.
Connected to the MT3000 on the 2.4G band and the MT3000 to the library wifi gave me 24/50.

Obviously, at any given moment I don’t know what other traffic was being handled by the library wifi.

Do you observe any difference between these two device? Not sure how to identify if I am getting the old hardware device or latest hardware device.

The hardware is all from the same batch，it looks like a firmware issue.Our engineers are trying to find the root cause.

Hi guys, this bug has been fixed. Please use the latest firmware to test on next day.

26

I see. Beta 3 tomorrow?

Will these changes get built into the infra version as well (automatically), or will it need to be recompiled periodically? I’m having a nasty time at a hotel right now getting either OpenVPN or Wireguard to stay connected - going to try switching over to Tailscale with a custom build.

Thanks

Can you point us to the correct file we need to grab to upgrade the firmware? i see too many files.
or do we need to wait for tomorrow’s release?

Please download the snapshot firmware and test wifi performance.GL.iNet download center

Awesome! - the 5ghz wifi speed is now back to normal with the snapshot firmware! Thank you!

Would this fix be applied on the Flint as well? as i had this issue with it as well.

Thanks,It is not the same. We are still investigating the reasons for the low WIFI speed of AX1800.
