Maximise Client mode Bandwidth
Posted: Thu Feb 23, 2023 6:44 am
I noticed that my client mode gargoyle routers perform less than what I was expecting.
For example, I have a 5G router that can provide 500Mbps download upload and 130Mbps upload when I connect a client directly to its hotspot.
When I use a client mode gargoyle TP-Link TL-WA801N/ND v2 and connect clients wired to it the most I can get is ~40Mbps up and down. The same for TP-Link TL-WA901N/ND v2
When I use a client mode gargoyle Pc Engines Wrap (really old) and connect clients wired to it the most I can get is ~4Mbps up and down!
1) I was expecting (kind of arbitrarily) that the TP-Link TL-WA801N/ND v2 could easily provide 100Mbps and the Wrap easily 50mbps. Are my expectations overly optimistic?
2) I am not using any complicated functionality, only Client mode NAT and DHCP. If I make a custom built of gargoyle with less functionality am I going to improve the bandwidth?
3) Any other performance suggestions?
