Hello,
I have an ac3 on ros ).11.1 with wifiave2.
I have connected a Plex server via etc and an iPad Pro via wifi.
I noticed that when I stream a 4k video file with high bitrate (about 60Mbps) I get very different results:
- on 2.4g I get smooth playback (bandwidth used is around 75Mbps)
- on 5g I get stutters and the use bandwidth is about 32Mbps
Is that normal ?
The ac3 is about 2.5meters away and in plain sight, no obstacles.
Config:
/interface wifiwave2 channel
add band=5ghz-ac frequency=5180 name=5g width=20/40/80mhz
add band=2ghz-n frequency=2300-7000 name=2g width=20/40mhz
/interface wifiwave2 security
add authentication-types=wpa2-psk,wpa3-psk name=casa wps=disable
/interface wifiwave2 configuration
add channel=2g country=Japan disabled=no mode=ap name=2g security=casa ssid="casa 2g"
add channel.skip-dfs-channels=all country=Japan mode=ap name=5g security=casa ssid="casa 5g"
/interface wifiwave2
set [ find default-name=wifi1 ] configuration=2g configuration.mode=ap disabled=no
set [ find default-name=wifi2 ] channel.band=5ghz-ac .width=20/40/80mhz configuration=5g configuration.mode=ap disabled=no
/interface bridge
add name=LAN
/interface bridge port
add bridge=LAN interface=LAN-ether3
add bridge=LAN interface=LAN-ether4
add bridge=LAN interface=LAN-ether5
add bridge=LAN interface=wifi1
add bridge=LAN interface=wifi
I checked with Speedtest and I get the same downloads speeds (30 and 70 Mbps). A few months ago I was getting 230Mbps in 5g , so maybe something is different on recent ros ? From the server I get 226Mbps down.
Is there anything I should check ?
Thanks
