Sorry for my english but I'm using google translate
I have connected a 3.0 usb disk formatted in ext4 to the usb port of the router, I am doing tests on sftp but I have very bad data transfer, the maximum that achievement is 2.1 MB / Sec. connected over the 5 GB network
That same disk I connect to another computer on the same network and achieve speeds close to 10 MB / Sec
I have loaded the modules kmod-usb3, kmod-usb-core, kmod-usb-ledtrig-usbport, kmod-usb-storage, kmod-usb-storage-uas, kmod-usb3
Can someone tell me if the transfer works on a USB 3.0 disk connected directly to the router's USB?
Check "top" on the router during the transfer? sftp uses encryption. Router's cpu might be limiting the speed. I'd try something like http or ftp server as a test instead of sftp.
A friend of mine has tried a pen drive on a dlink dir860l rev b1 which has the same SoC and he couldn't recreate this bug. Maybe it is a target specific problem or just affected the rotational drives? I'll ask him to try it with a hdd.
This is extremely late by this point, however I had once (before I knew about Padavan's licensing), distributed an image for the Mi3 router over Telegram (and I had seen others distributing over the web during that time).
This was done about a year ago, and while I do not condone this kind of behavior for community products (even if they are not fully in line with Stallman's views (which I do not completely agree with, though I do respect many of them)), I also prefer LEDE's and OpenWRT's views over Padavan's.
@mcaptur thanks for sharing. I tried it and it seems stable so far.
On the 5Ghz i get around 220Mbps and around 98Mbps on the 2.4Ghz. ( on a Intel 7260 pcie card)
I expected a little higher transfer rate on the 5Ghz to be honest.
There is 2 things i want to ask.
The first have to do with the kernel. This firmware comes with the 4.14 kernel and when i try to install certain packages i get a dependence error:
satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for kmod-nvmem:
kernel (= 4.9.82-1-45f0911785241c9bd2fe32250a47856f) *
Should i change the sources or should i compile the packages my self ?
The second have to do with the mac address of the 5Ghz radio. It seems if i change it the wireless settings, the clients can't connect.
/etc/config/wireless
config wifi-iface 'default_radio1'
option device 'radio1'
option network 'lan'
option mode 'ap'
option macaddr 'xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'
I did find a work around by changing the hex values on the mtd2 partition but it's not very convenient.
So is that just me or do you have problems with this as well ?
Any easier way to do it?
re packages would have to compile them since online ones expect 4.9 kernel.. let me know which you need and will create image with them.. re mac i never tried changing radio mac..
