ASUS USB AC68 soft AP slower with 5.2.20 than 5.3.4 #261

I've been using these drivers for some time now for soft AP. It seems that your official realease is much slower than 5.3.4 release. the phone (android) connects on 5.2.20 with 135 Mbps and speed test on my internet provider server reach 40Mbps while on 5.3.4 my phone connects with 200Mbps and download goes to 100-110 Mbps. Just so to be clear computer reach the same server with 950-1000Mbps so its not of problem of internet.

I think that 5.3.4 has some issues with aircrack suite but i'm not sure. i was never able to capture handshake with it. i can do it with 5.2.20 though.

my hostapd.conf is `interface=wlx2c4d5406dbfb

` P.S.: Does anybody knows if this device caped at 200Mbps for soft ap? or can i make it go higher? i have same speed with windows soft ap.

i've read a bit through that one but i thought that that person is trying to connect to router and since i'm creating a soft AP, i thought its something different. What do you mean by "260 or 234"? where/how can i find this info?

200 Mbps is what the phone reports. it starts with 180Mbps and after a few seconds it show 200Mbps and stays that way. my phone is a bit old indeed. its a zenfone 2 with intel cpu (2-3 years old). unfortunately i have no way to test it if it can reach more than 200Mbps since i have no router and the router at my work connects with 76 Mbps or something like that. i had 2 low end laptops at home but it seems that non of them could see that 5 Ghz ap and again i was unable to check the speed of my AP.. So far i have only 2 phones that both connects to 200 Mbps a Nexus 5 and a Zenfone 2. i know for sure that Nexus 5 was capable of 400+ Mbps 2-3 years ago when i had a chance to test it.

are you sure it does not support AC? according to asus it does. Windows drivers set to only AC and my phone still can connect to it. i have no other way to check this. And speed from windows soft ap is the same. so it might be a limitation of my phone too.

hostapd and wpa_cli isn't the most supported by these drivers, but.. I've added tons of documentation in the folder with the same name about it.

Besides that, today I've fixed the sluggish injection on v5.3.4, I also got a fix for "reaver"'s pcap_activate error thanks to heads up by @kcdtv I actually run it smooth now. And yes, it's a little quicker than the v5.2.20(.2) and a notch more stable too.

We'll move over to v5.3.4 soon.. still got some mediums to get rid of.
