Speedtest via iPhone15pro

[Greg_0ry]

Hi all,

I have received and setup my new Flint 2 router and run some test. I actually receive the same speed as with my old ASUS RT-AC86u around 4-500 Mbit/s and wonder why? I was expecting a bit more due to the fact that I am on 900/900 fibre and test in the same room where the router is. why would a wifi 6 router give me the same speed as a wifi 5 router?

Which settings are you using for wifi? With my Poco F5 Pro I can get around 900 / 400 Mbps for my 1000/400 Mbps FTTH connection.

Flint 2 with 4.8.3 firmware

I just got it today, everything is default. I was wondering if there are any settings I have to change to achieve what you get? This is very strange and hard to justify spending money on a new router

Have you upgraded to 4.8.3 firmware?

[Greg_0ry]

I am on 80MHz so will change as soon my daughter is of her zoom call

[Greg_0ry]

Yes, I have

I am now on 160MHz but its not the improvement I would expect. I need to rund speed test in my router itself to see what I get and if this is really the wifi

Can you do a speedtest on a wired pc or laptop?

[Greg_0ry]

This is directly on the router connected to the ONT

What does your phone show for a link speed? My Pixel 10 links at 1200 Mbps to my Asus AX88U Pro with 80 MHz ax channel and does ~800-900 Mbps on speed tests so you should be seeing higher with your Flint 2 even at 80 MHz.

Edit: Just fired up my GL-iNet Spitz AX3000 and am linking at 1200 Mbps on 80 MHz ax channel and does ~850 Mbps on speed tests.

[Greg_0ry]

I do not think there is an option to view the link speed on an iPhone but I could be wrong

[doczenith1]

There should be but you should also be able to find it in the router GUI.

[Greg_0ry]

Where can I find it in the GUI? I’m new to the device so not sure where to look at

[RPSouto]

Advanced - Luci - Wireless and you can see TX rate

When your iPhone is connected to WIFI to measure speed, please turn off the power saving mode first.

Please try disconnecting WIFI, turning off saving mode, then opening WIFI to connect to Flint2, and then test again.

Hi Bruce,

I have tried this already with the same result, my MacBook has the same speed so I do not think it has to do with the client but could be wrong with this assumption.

Thanks

Gregor

1. If Flint 2 <-> PC is connected via network cable, what is the measured speed?

2. Please try installing the p24 firmware: GL.iNet download center

Hope its helpful
