Poor network performance with wireless bridge

Mon Jan 04, 2021 2:40 am

I have set my RB2011UAS-2HND-IN up to be a wireless access point that I can use at a hotel. While I have it working, I am getting internet speeds of less than 1 Mbps, and doing a file transfer between two laptops basically kills the internet. Connecting directly to the hotel wireless gives me speeds of 10-15 Mbps.

Essentially, I took a factory reset of 6.48, and did the following:
* removed wlan1 from the bridge
* connected wlan1 to the wifi (station mode)
* created a wlan2 (ap bridge)
* added wlan2 to the existing bridge
* put a dhcp client on wlan1

It works, but not very well. The CPU doesn't seem overly taxed either. What am I doing wrong?

Re: Poor network performance with wireless bridge  [SOLVED]

My guess is that you are trying to get your wlan adapter to do two things at once. on a crowded frequency (the hotel frequency).
Repeaters don't work very well.

Is speed OK when using RB2011 as a client for the same hotel network? (disable wlan2, use cabled connection to rb2011 which is connected to hotel wifi).

What speed do you get when you connect directly to the hotel Wifi? 1Mbps/client sounds quite usual for hotel networks.

Good point. It did improve when I did that, so it must be that. Thanks.
