Wlan station mode slow thoroughput

Fri Nov 13, 2015 11:40 pm

I'm having a speed issue with an RB951G-2HnD that I just ordered. This is my first routerOS device and I have an intermediate level understanding of networking in general.

My end goal is to connect the wlan interface to a Verizon Jetpack and use that as the internet connection.The wired ports would then all be lan ports although I only really need 1 of them. The idea is to use this router as a backup internet connection (via verizon cell towers) for our network in case our main connection goes down.

I was able to configure this successfully however I only get a max of about 1 mbs when running a speed test (speedtest.net). If I reset the configuration to defaults and use it as an ordinary wifi router without the Verizon Jetpack involved then I can max out my speed test at 10 mbs. If I connect my laptop directly to the Jetpack I can also get 10bms over 4g. I don't know why the routerboard is limited to 1mbs but only when running in station mode vs an access point. Can anyone help me out?


More details:

Basically I just removed the wlan interface from bridge-local, changed it's mode to station and connected it to the Verizon Jetpack. I switched the dhcp client to the wlan interface and modifed the NAT rule to use wlan as the outbound interface as well. I also removed all ip filter rules to rule out any issues there. I am currently connected to the the internet with this setup using a laptop that is wired to the 2nd ethernet port. Everything works, I just can't go past 1mbs to the internet. The Verizon Jetpack is 4G and can do about 10 mbs max on its own.


Here is my config export:
