Posted: Sat Aug 15, 2020 3:26 am Post subject: bottleneck: router or wireless card? [SOLVED] |
|
|
Hi guys,
I recently got a NAS and I wired it to my router ASUS RT-AC68U. If I wire my box to the router and connect to NAS, I get upload speeds (to NAS) of 50MB/s and download speed of over 100MB/s. However, if use my wireless card intel 3165 I get upload speed of 7MB/s and download speeds of 8.5MB/s. I am testing with a 1.6 GB single file.
I am using the 5GHz frequency connection to the router and my laptop is 6 feet away from it. Nothing else is on the router, and the router has the latest firmware (3.0.0.4.385.20632 ).
I think the wireless numbers are pretty low, and I am trying to figure out if the bottleneck is the router configuration or the wireless card configuration.
Any help is always appreciated,
Efo

100MB/s is normal for gigabit ethernet and 8-12MB is normal for 65-135Mbps 802.11n. Is your hardware rated for higher? |

Hi Ant P.,
I agree with the ethernet speeds, but the wireless connection seems slow to me. I cant find actual benchmarks. Here is what I have:
Router ASUS RT-AC68U:
1300 Mbps 802.11ac at 5 GHz gives Gigabit wireless data rates, while Broadcom® TurboQAM™ technology super-charges 2.4 GHz 802.11n performance from 450 Mbps to 600 Mbps with compatible devices.
Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless AC 3165:
TX/RX Streams 1X1
Bands 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz
Max Speed 433 Mbps
Wi-Fi CERTIFIED* 802.11ac
Compliance FIPS, FISMA
Bluetooth Version 4.2
Integrated Bluetooth Yes
I was unable to find benchmarks, but 7-8MB/s seem low to me. If that's the expected performance, then it is what it is.... I just would like to know I am getting a fair performance out of the hardware.
Thanks for helping,
Efo |

Hi Mike155,
Thanks for the info. I will try to answer your questions here so not to hijack the other thread if that's ok.
I think I already run the tests at the beginning of that thread. Here is the other info:
Code: |
$ iwconfig wlp3s0
wlp3s0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"nowhere"
Mode:Managed Frequency:5.745 GHz Access Point: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Bit Rate=86.7 Mb/s Tx-Power=22 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:on
Link Quality=69/70 Signal level=-41 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:22 Missed beacon:0
|
Edit: seems like the card bit rate agrees with what I am getting. Shouldnt the card handle more according to its specs? If yes, is this then a driver issue/configuration? |

Thanks for the data.
- Link Quality=69/70 - good
- Signal level=-41 dBm - good
- Frequency:5.745 GHz - good
- Bit Rate=86.7 Mb/s - NOT good. But it's in agreement with your measurement results 'upload speed of 7MB/s and download speeds of 8.5MB/s'.
The 'Bit Rate' value should be much higher.
Next step: let's try to find out which bit rates and capabilities your router offers. Please run either
or
The command will display data for ALL wireless networks around you. Please post the data for YOUR OWN network (look at the SSID). Don't forget to anonymize critical data. |

Looks like the router is not being nice.

A wild guess: it could be related to channel 149, which can be a bit special, depending on the regulatory domain. See: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_Local_Area_Network#Nutzungsbedingungen. It's in German, unfortunately. But you can see that channel149 is forbidden in some countries and power-limited in Europe. Try to set your router to channel 48 or 108 and retry.
'iwlist scan' doesn't tell us everything. Please post the output of
for your network as well as the output of
and of
BTW: it seems that the iw tools show bit rates only for up to 54 Mb/s. If your router supports high-speed modes, 'iw dev wlp3s0 scan' will show HT and VHT entries. |

Ok, so your router supports both HT and VHT - and your laptop as well. Regulatory domain info doesn't seem to be valid. In which country do you live? |

Sorry about that, no channel 48 didnt help
I tried:
Code: | rmmod -f iwlmvm; rmmod -f iwlwifi; modprobe -rv iwlwifi && modprobe -v iwlwifi bt_coex_active=0 11n_disable=8 |
but unfortunately this didnt help either....
Edit: I dont have iwldvm module |

I tried
Code: | $ rmmod -f iwlmvm
$ modprobe -rv iwlwifi
$ modprobe -v iwlwifi bt_coex_active=0 swcrypto=1 11n_disable=8
$ iw dev wlp3s0 set power_save off
|
but no luck; I noticed that
Code: | Important
In case the wireless configuration API (CONFIG_CFG80211) is built into the kernel (<*>) instead as a module (<M>), the driver won't be able to load regulatory.db from /lib/firmware resulting in broken regulatory domain support. Please set CONFIG_CFG80211=m or add regulatory.db and regulatory.db.p7s to CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE. |
in iwlwifi wiki, that's related on what you mentioned... I am looking into this right now. |

I tried to compile the driver in the kernel with
Code: | CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="iwlwifi-7265D-29.ucode regulatory.db regulatory.db.p7s" |
but nothing changed... I am running out of ideas... btw, does
Code: | ...
HT Max RX data rate: 150 Mbps
... |
make sense given the the card is advertised as "up to 433 Mbps"? |

It turns out it was the router. I installed the Merlin firmware and followed
L&LD instructions.
Now I get between 30 and 40MBps upload and download, not the nominal 1300Mbps claimed by the 5GHz band, but I think it is reasonable.
Thanks for the help! |
