Update on issues with compiling for the Archer C7.

Fails due to wireless drivers, ath10k.

205

somehow you didn't patch it correctly

206

@gwlim using your latest build and PC connected via gigabit ethernet to the router, running iperf3.

Client connected to the router at 80MHz, at maximum rate (1300Mbps), iperf results:

Why the slow speed?

207

what is the wireless network adapter?
And your wifi config?

208

Missing ipt-conntrack-extra

209

@gwlim It is Broadcom BCM43xx in a MacBook Pro. Channel 100 on the router at 80MHz. What else do you need to know?

210

Wireless is not the same as wired.
If the wireless rate is low you should check your wifi or contact ath10k

211

What is the point in this then? You said in the initial post you get higher speeds over wireless.

I could already get 940Mbps over wired without installing this, I am now completely lost.

212

Try iperf over 10.1.1.2 to 192.168.1.X
on original firmware vs fast path.
Then you know what this is all about
https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/benchmark.nat

213

@gwlim Tell me the version of iperf used in the initial post and the settings used?

214

Any iperf version just follow NAT settings
10.X.X.X (WAN) to 192.168.X.X (LAN)
As per wiki

215

I just want to know exactly what you used. Tell me the iperf version and settings please.

216

I use jperf the old one
iperf version 2.0.8 (6 Mar 2015) pthreads
LEDE without Fast Path vs LEDE with Fast Path

217

@gwlim I saw you put new builds here https://github.com/gwlim/Fast-Path-LEDE-OpenWRT/tree/master/Fast-Path/July-2017 would you care for another WDR3500 build please?

218

I just want to confirm that adding mtu_fix 1 in the wan zone in /etc/config/firewall resolved my PPPoE connections problems in my old 1043NDv1.

And, of course, give a big hug and many thanks to @gwlim for his dedication. My first online speed tests had moved from 70 MB / 10 MB to some 300 MB / 250 MB, which is simply amazing. :joy:

Hi!

I built a firmware with fastpath NAT patches from LEDE 17.01.1 sources for my old D-Link DIR-825 rev. B2.
I tested it with DHCP connection. The LAN address is 192.168.1.1/24, the WAN is 192.168.22.0/24, the NAT is on. On the WAN located a mini server (Asrock Q1900-ITX) with IP address 192.168.22.200 and .

The results with original LEDE 17.01.1:

This was a big surprise for me, because with OpenWrt AA the throughput was only ~400 Mbps.

I made a similar test as you did, @vargagab, (apart from the wget real-world test, since I don't have that fast internet connection) and I got similar results with TP-Link Archer C5 v1.2 (it has just slightly stronger SoC than DIR-825 rev. B2).

221

@gwlim, hi! Is it possible to use this patch for Engenius EPG5000? Same hardware with Archer C7, but I can't build firmware, it was stopping with error.

222

Hi it's possible to do a fastpath version for the Linksys WRT3200 (Marvell Armada 385 ARMv7)?

@gwlim can you explain all the steps needs for make a build

223

Read the patching bash script and read the Patch files
I already place them nicely into files labelled with SFE.
