Help: upload too low

Hello,
Forgive my English. I’m brazilian.
I come to ask the help of the professionals, because I have a big problem to solve in the network that I manage.

We have a “RB 922 NetMetal 5” to work on 802.11ac only, as access point.

And all client devices are (ASUS USB-AC56 Dual-band AC1300 USB 3.0). in linux.
https://www.asus.com/us/Networking/USBAC56/overview/

Problem:
With -59 sign, I get download rates of + 12MBps. However upload varies between 512KBps ~ 2.5MBps. :frowning:
I do not need to download fast because my scenario is to use the wifi adapter with DVR to send videos to the server.

Tests:
FTP client on linux → FTP server on IIS6.

  • The router connected with gigabit cable directly to the server;
  • Customers with -80 signal get 1.5MBps download (upload 50KBps);
  • With both antennas with distance of 3 meters, upload reaches 6MBps, download ~ 35MBps;
  • Test by direct cable (client - server), download and upload are equal ~ 40MBps (up and down);

Here’s my router configuration:

add admin-mac=64:D1:54:06:93:5E auto-mac=no comment=defconf name=bridge

/ip route
add distance=1 gateway=10.0.0.10

/system clock
set time-zone-name=America/Sao_Paulo

/system routerboard settings
set cpu-frequency=720MHz

I made a simulation using as windows client, in this video:

  • Will it be something of 802.11ac as WMM?
  • If this is not, will this device (asus) not support throughput for upload?

Any help will be welcome. Thank you!

What Router OS version do you have on the Metal?

Hello my friend, a version of RouterOS in NetMetal is

# jan/05/2018 by RouterOS 6.37.4

Good Morning,
Make an addendum.

→ My project is DVRs whose USB device asus (client) connected, is a home omni antenna. And it’s inside a bus. (Which can be awful)
→ The access point is NetMetal with an antenna, also omni.

→ So the next test I want to do is remove the omni antenna and test it with 90º sectorial antenna. Maybe work on the channel a bit, and see if there’s an upload.

For now, my finding is that asus antenna has low throughput for upload.
