Different speeds on bridge mode

[doineedto]

Thank you both @Trex and @Aashish.007 .
The issue was two fold:
1. the 5GHz channel width was set to 40 MHz. Changing this to 80 MHz increased the speeds to around 180 Mbps
2. Enabling software flow offloading brought the speeds up to 220 Mbps

Tried both software and hardware offloading, unfortunately didn't helped.

@Trex that link is from 2020 mate. I have Archer C6v3.2 and it's awesome with OpenWrt.

Ofc v3.2 have better speed as it has 2 core cpu compared to single core 775mhz on v2

 

[Aashish.007]

@Trex what version of OpenWrt are you on? Did you try latest 21.02?

 

[Trex]

yes latest.

 

[Aashish.007]

Are you using sqm?

 

[Trex]

yes was using sqm, also tried without sqm no effect. sqm should not have any effect as I use using it on pppoe interface

From what I read, c6v2 can reach 300mbps on iperf tests so in your case the 130 to 140 seems quite low, maybe you should flash clean firmware without add on packages and test.
Also if possible I would suggest you to upgrade to Archer c6v3.2; it is cheap and can reach 600+ mbps on iperf with both devices on wifi! Also it has a dual core with hyperthreading, I am also planning to buy 3 of those to create a mesh @ my home unless someone suggests a better alternative.

@rajil.s I forgot to mention that I intend to keep both of my kidneys and a part of my liver intact after the purchase.
