Hi all, am new to the forum so please be patient with my limited understandings, which I have been endeavoring to make sufficient for my tasks.
My home network covers several users, each with their own specific desires and needs. Here is the layout (which I already know is not optimal) that has already breached my budget.
ISP = 100 Mbps
Routing: ISP--> ISP specific Modem (1 port only) --> r6400 (factory firmware) --> (a) users not on VPN and (b) i7-4790k tower with DD-WRT x64 and Nord Open via flashrouters app (only has 2 NIC) --> r7000 (DD-WRT early October 2023 build) -> wireless and LAN clients.
The i7-4790k tower runs Nord OpenVPN (flashrouter app) and gets ~99Mbps consistently via ookla speed test (verified it is going through VPN). The r7000 via LAN, speedtest reports consistent 96Mbps through the i7-4790k VPN tower.
The WLAN through the r7000, however, was choked at 40Mbps (even though link speeds report 130Mbps and higher for local transfers).
I noticed it was running SFE and since the router is Broadcom based switched it to CTF. That brought the r7000 WLAN speedtest to 65-80Mbps through ookla with Flow Acceleration and STP disabled.
Having tried all the different settings here (Basic WAN Setup page) this has been the fastest I can get out of the r7000 WLAN.
Is there something I am missing that might bring the WLAN up to par on the r7000?
Thanks for any good advice. _________________ First code I ever wrote was on an Apple IIC !
Not sure what wireless settings your using, but first, if you have not done so try these: https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=327595 _________________ Main Router: Dynalink WRX36, PPPoE, Gateway Mode, Network IPV4 - Isolated Vlan's.
