Description

Hello there,
more a question than an issue (for now).

what speed should I expect from a Netgear A6210 (MT7612U) in 802.11s or IBSS mode using AC and 80Mhz channel?

I performed some tests in ideal conditions (i.e. no significant interferences and antennas few meters apart) and I got ~240Mbps at most.

This result (~200-240Mbps) is quite stable and reproducible, but I expected to get 866 Mbps (minus overhead, of course).

My configuration is:

  • Channel 36, VHT80, 802.11s (and IBSS in a separate test), WPA3 (SAE), no mesh forwarding.
  • The USB dongle is connected on a USB3 port of a Raspberry Pi 4.
  • I have been using iperf3 with the IPv6 link local address, no additional routing protocol or traffic of any sort on the link.

Thanks!

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the iperf3 result with the stated MT7612U, VHT80, 802.11s and IBSS setup on the Raspberry Pi 4; done means determining whether the reported throughput is expected or isolating a driver or configuration defect.
