Hi all,
Please share your VPN speed with New firmware on Slate AX.
My VPN speed test is as follows:
Protocol - OpenVPN
Service Provider: NordVPN
Server Location: HK, Taipei, Singapore and Frankfurt
Download Speed Max.: 180Mbps; Upload Speed Max.: 182Mbps (HK Server)
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
