LAN to Wireless Bottleneck?

[tdashmike]

Hi,

I have a RT-AC1750 B1 router. I've been having problems streaming to my Apple TV using home sharing. I've hooked up a computer to the router directly and the connection speed is reported as 1gb by the router and the computer. But when I stream to the Apple TV which is connected through 5Ghz, the speed reported by the traffic analyzer is only 3MB/s. Now if I move that same computer to a wireless AP in another room, the streaming speed goes up to 13MB/s, this wireless AP is also connected to the router's 5Ghz. I have also tried connecting a 2nd computer to the router through gigabit Ethernet and the copy speeds between the two computer are over 30MB/s. If I copy a file from that computer to a computer connected through the AP it is slightly faster at 9MB/s. It seems there is some sort of bottleneck from the LAN to wifi?

Did you turn off Airtime Fairness?

Just tried it, it made no difference though. Thanks, it looks like it's better to leave airtime fairness off anyways.

Try with all the beamforming options turned off also as somewhere I read that they give wireless problems on Apple devices.

Not sure if it is still applicable these days but worth a try never the less.

Hi,

I'm using firmware version 384.6.

Thanks.

I am running the same hardware (RT-AC66U_B1) with John's fork (35T3). Other than connectivity issues with DoT, which may be a problem with my ISP, there are no problems. Most of my equipment is old and I have the 5GHZ set to 40 MHZ bandwidth and have very good LAN to WIFI transfer rates.

I'd try downgrading to 384.5 because 384.6 is known to have problems with LAN-WLAN traffic.

P.S. Or upgrading to 384.7b1

Whoa-ho, what a huge difference. Updated to 384.7 beta 1 and the speed is now ~17MB/s. Thanks!
