The V1 has a closed-source wireless driver, which makes running performance-tuned firmware difficult. All versions after V1 are open-sourced, but I guess for a freebie I won't complain :P

Just get Ubiquity wireless kit, install Unifi, win.

I'd rather not have to throw a couple K for no reason. Most of my stuff is wired anyway, WiFi is just for phones, tablets and my laptop which use next to nothing compared to my wired devices.

Also, I like tinkering :twisted:
 
I recently upgrade to an edgerouter and unifi ac pro and can’t be happier. Ceiling mounted the AP in the center of my house and have good coverage throughout, speeds not dropping below 250Mbps on bandwidth tests.
 
Some credit where credit is due.

Ive had my share of issues with cool ideas. But its been really flawless for many weeks now.

Ok vumatel CPE/has been sorted out the packet-loss/Twitch issue guess it was damaged SFP module. Thanks for that.


Now however I still have TCP traffic issues being, I want to say shaped but....I know you guys do not actively shape, but well its limited I'm hitting 1~1.4MB/s with current client I'm using, however using mikrotik bandwidth tests to a 10gb connection, I'm getting 2.5Mbps or (approx 312KB/s)? with;

1 TCP connection: 1.png
2 TCP connections: 2.png
3 TCP connections: 3.png
4 TCP connections: 4.png

If you would like more please let me know.

Am I being dumb here or something I'm not understanding? or is this normal?


Traceroute to the IP in question that the client is downloading from;

I don't think the tiks TCP window scales on bwtest, this is why your single threaded tests are what they are. And is why multiple threads increase your throughput. Try doing a download from the server on http for instance.

Pretty normal for single threaded TCP bandwidth tests from Tiks.

fair enough, when on default 20 connections it will hit something like 45/50mbps which is acceptable.

Had someone else do the same download and hit full 50mbps line speed.
any explanation regarding this?

From their tik using a single thread? Do you have a screenshot?

You are using the windows app vs the tik itself.

Ah, I thought you were talking about the endpoint, not the client. Either way, works fine so @Neet try with the Windows client and let us know.

sorry, should have clarified, not related to tik speedtest for that post, but the image does explain. This is with download client I'm currently using for a game.
