I've run into this problem this week while running latest Master branch builds on both units.
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/wds-client-ap-tx-rate-problem/50503
I can add any info needed to debug this.
@namidairo
If you can, test latest snapshot and see if the problem is resolved.
The few tests I've done are positive.
Tested against the snapshot before remembering that it's still on an older commit of mt76 from October, no change.
Pointed the Makefile at the current master and rolled my own build, no change.
Edit: Tried it on the lowest mcs (iw dev wlan0 set bitrates vht-mcs 5 1:0) as well.
Looks like this particular issue is related to https://github.com/openwrt/mt76/commit/abcb544579191d30177ff0cd1b2671ade0fb9098, setting a RTS and fragmentation threshold brings the throughput up to expected values.
@namidairo What value did you put for RTS threshold? I am having severe packet loss issues on MT7621E.
RTS: 40 Fragmentation: 3000
I'd probably experiment with the latter.
Sadly I haven't had time to bisect where it breaks (or if it ever worked)
Please try the latest revision of OpenWrt master or 19.07. I've fixed a critical issue in hostapd.
iperf3 tests look good so far on master
! :tada:
For the record, I don't know if it's the same issue, but I was also consistently having clients would be associated with AP but unable to reach network after some time (5min - 2h or so) until manually reassociated. Disabling rekeying made it slightly less frequent, I think, but it still happened dozens of times per day. Will report back if that occurs again.
Has anyone else run into issues with tx throughput via mt76 when it is in STA (WDS/4addr on) mode? (Although I ran into a similar throughput issue when trying to run it as a 802.11s mesh point as well)
Running a mt7612 on a Xiaomi Miwifi Mini, on an OpenWRT snapshot (therefore up to commit d3a589586d1b1d9e1422e31f642a500ff0195f20)
From the mt76 station to the AP is as follows:
However in the other direction, it appears to be fine (From the AP to the STA)
And here's the output of
iw dev wlan0 station dump
