Slow Download Speeds R710 Unleashed

[max_p_eogltxsc8]

Strange issue with R710 on latest unleashed firmware. Upload speeds consistently incredible on both laptop and phone but downloads even from 5 ft away never go over 200 but stay consistent through 3 thick walls. Speedflex on android shows 550 up 550 down to AP. Iperf reflects speedtest.net results. Cable shouldn't be the problem as I have plugged my laptop on it and gotten the gigabit fiber speeds I should be getting. I have factory reset it countless times set everything to auto and tried manually setting the bands and channel width, am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated.

They went from kernel 2.6 to 3.x series kernel with 200.8 so it's a bit of a change, including new chipset drivers of course.

Tested with R510, iPhone 11 Pro Max, ISP 800mbps/200mbps

Standalone 104
597mbps/199mbps
Ping 8/ Jitter 1.2

Standalone 106
543mbps/199mbps
Ping 6/ Jitter 1.7

Unleashed 200.6
502mbps/199mbps
Ping 7/ Jitter 1.7

Unleashed 200.8
322mbps/195mbps
Ping 7/ Jitter 1.5

I've found that old firmware (104) gave me fastest speed but the ping was not stable, latest firmware will slow the top speed down massively, decided to stay in Standalone 106 and wait for the fix, 106 gave me the best performance with lower and stable ping.

I shared your results with DE, thanks Darren.

200.6 245

200.7 228

200.8 221

I flashed R510 from 200.4, then used webpage upgrade option one-by-one from 200.5 to 200.6 to 200.7 to 200.8 in unleashed, it seems doesn’t impact much for latest firmware, but once I flash it directly to 200.7 or 200.8 fro local downloaded file, the Speedtest result will be below 300mbps, I dunno what’s wrong. I did manually select channel, and turned off background scanning for 5GHz to achieve stable result.

For now, I will stay in 200.6 as it gave me the most consistent result

hoping we can survive from coronavirus, and seeing the fix of ruckus firmware

otherwise firmware is no needed
