These numbers don’t make sense to me, even allowing for the fact that throughput numbers are useless without knowing the speed of the server, and the speed of the client internet connection.

But If @simonli can get 156/171, basically maxing out the OpenVPN server, and max out a 500/500 connection with Wireguard, I don’t follow how @emmgr23 can only get 48/38 with OpenVPN on a server that seems to support 166/79 with wireguard. It seems to me he ought to be getting 160/80ish at least.

My setup situation:
PC–Ethernet Cable-AXT1800-Ethernet Cable-Fiber modem.
My location is HK, so I tested the HK server from VPN provider.
I want to know what’s the maximum speed I can get via Slate AX.

cafebug · 2022-05-18T09:16:48.397Z

Setup: ATX1800 from Taipei as wireguard client connect to 5 country servers of Mullvad VPN
Countries: Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, USA, Sweden
Method: randomly pick 3 Speedtest server locations in each country
Connection: PC Wi-Fi(non-WiFi 6 card) to ATX1800(5Ghz channel) (there’s still room for faster speed if I switch to Wi-Fi 6 card)

number read: PING time, Download speed, Upload speed

Japan(JP12):

Hong Kong(HK06):

Singapore(SG9):

USA(US48):

Firmware 4.0.0 beta8 installed. WireGuard maxed out my Internet and there may be some room for a bit more.

So far this is what I got for wireguard with mullvad:

my isp: KPN
hardwired:yes
country: Netherlands
speeds:
up: 200mb/s (I get easily 300-400mb/s but this might be related due to the overhead they sent me I
expect after 200mb/s the advertised speed, the upload gets unstable so I just would keep it on
200mb/s.

down: 204mb/s (this is accurate)

the first few speedtests are countries close around my current location, the other ones are really far away :), though I’m still amazed about the performance I get and when I watch other results from other people here, I think my wireguard speed could even go higher but its bottle necked by my isp.

OK, hardwired in my internal network to show (possible) maximums:

First, direct connection from laptop to network

Direct756×129 11.1 KB

Next, adding the router as a pure passthrough

PassThrough764×125 11.2 KB

OK, WireGuard

WireGuard767×118 9.43 KB

And lastly, OpenVPN

OpenVPN733×119 9.95 KB

I might have to look again at that last one, because I don’t think it should be that slow.

Cheers.

Odd that the download speed for wireguard is lower than the upload speed. On a very simple level, if openvpn is 125/125, I would have expected wireguard to be 500/500.

beniamin · 2022-05-22T03:48:51.113Z

SlateAX setup with WWAN (no hardwire) , OVPN to PIA. Speed are really good, better than Brume. I have a 200mbps link.

Wireguard via my VPS is even better:

Aha, you finally get the upgrade of Brume.

This was done a few meters from my nearest cell tower.

This is directly from my HTC 5G Hub, rate is halved routing traffic to the router, I am using Ethernet cable that supports over 1Gbps rates. Does anyone know why this is happening?

You should not test speed on the router. It has limited resources for this.

You should test speed on your pc.
