Question

I have a RUT950 and I am using iperf to test the connection speed between 2 devices on my network.

When 1 devices is using WiFi and the other ethernet I get <10Mbps

When both devices are using ethernet I get >90Mbps

In comparison to a much cheaper GL-iNet:

When 1 devices is using WiFi and the other ethernet I get ~40Mbps

When both devices are using ethernet I get >100Mbps

I have tried changing a few settings, namely the AP channel, transmit power and mode, I see no difference in speeds.

What can I do to improve the WiFi speeds of the RUT950?

Hello,

Regarding your issue you see there are a lot of factors that can affect WiFi Connectivity

-Physical Obstructions
-Network Range & Distance between Devices
-Wireless Network Interference
-Signal Sharing
-Network Usage & Load
-Poorly Deployed Antennas
-Local Environment Characteristics
-Spectrum Channel Limitations
-Signal Reflection
-Wireless Signal Restriction

For this case i recommend you to use a mobile application like WiFi Anaylzer from Playstore of Android and try changing the WiFi channel that the RUT is using select the channel that is not used.

Hope it helps.
