Stock Firmware Slowing Things Down?

alzhao · 2020-10-06T08:05:56.852Z

This is very strange. I will have a test in my side.

RichP · 2020-10-06T13:03:26.942Z

I can confirm seeing similar results

Thank you for helping confirm that it’s not just me.

Which modem are you using? I’m using an EP06-A. I’m wondering if it affects more modem cards.

Can you try disabling GLTertf and see if it gets better?

ARM300M can I split VPN? Technical Support for Routers

You cannot clear the offline dhcp client list from the web page, you need to ssh to the router, Fiat stop this process “gltertf” Then remove the following two files /tmp/tertf/tertfinfo_bak /etc/tertf/tertfinfo_bak And restart your the glterf process or reboot.

@Tanbam I am also using an EP06-A

Seems it is QMI mode problem. The default firmware seems to have a problem with QMI.

I used China Unicom and filled APN directly into the Rooter. After reboot the device, the modem was successfully connected to the Internet, but the speed was no more than 1M.
In the same environment, I used GL firmware and clicked Auto Setup to obtain a speed of 20M.
In Rooter, do you have any particular configuration?

TanBam I believe I was the one that was talking about the speed difference between glinet and goldenorb on my x750 it is a huge difference glad that you see it as well

the load balancing is so simple and if you go to the forum they are quick to help and they are great guys.

Alzhao strange or not its a fact and I like the GUI of glinet but the speed difference when I have 20+ devices connected keeps me on goldenorb I check every day for the 19.0 firmware update hoping that will make a difference

Tanbam · 2020-10-10T14:40:14.189Z

luochongiun, no, I don’t use any special configuration. I just set the APN and go.

RichP · 2020-10-12T02:26:09.565Z

I do think it’s an issue with the GL Firmware and QMI mode with Visible/Verizon. (I don’t have another provider to test with)

I just did a few speed tests with both locked to Band 66.

Tried & got the same issue

VRZ78 · 2020-11-03T14:29:20.161Z

Are you planning to look into the issue ?

alzhao · 2020-11-04T04:37:08.091Z

We tried ROOter firmware here and it is lower than our stock firmware. I don’t have an idea.

Can you check if in the stock firmware, you are using QMI? BTW, we added ncm protocol for Quectel modems which should work better.

We are also made changes to the hardware of Spitz and it will have great improvement in signals.

That doesn’t really help those who have bought it.

Tried QMI & MBIM - how do I enable NCM to try it?

I still don’t understand this router - I get like 40mb upload consistently and download struggles at 20mb.
It’s a CAT 6 Module, apparently, should be achieving much, much higher speeds than this.
My Samsung S5 is CAT 6 AFAIK and it gets 100mb down and 50mb up - What’s the deal with this thing?

Extremely frustrating piece of kit.

robotluo · 2020-11-30T01:55:04.070Z

I optimized 4G->WIFI forwarding rate, please download the firmware test here

Tanbam · 2020-11-30T02:24:59.746Z

I’d love to try it, but I only have GL-MiFi and MUDI devices.

If you can whip up a firmware build for those, I’d test them out for you.

I’ve tested this a few ways, and the speeds on GL-iNet firmware are still slower than ROOter Goldenorb.

3.029: 15Mbps
3.105: 15Mbps
3.029: 15Mbps
3.105: 15Mbps
ROOTer: 20Mbps

These speeds were tested using stick antennas instead of my external antenna, using the same speedtest settings and the same LTE band. I did about 5 tests on each firmware to try to make sure that the speeds were similar.

On ROOTer, the signal is consistently faster than either of the GL-iNet firmware.
