summary with the new samba i get ~50MB\s m1 mini osx ~60MB\s on ubuntu ~80MB\s windows 10 (win+ubuntu same ssd dual boot) ftp speed is +100MB\s on all two machines and 3 OSs. i think i'll just leave it like that and use ftp when needed.
on osx + ubuntu tested with rsync.
on win with gui +...
i like to think that a m1 mini with a wired connection to the router (cat6 cable) can do better than 50MB/s when copying files from samba, but i will follow on this suggestion and try on another machine and os.
i disabled merlin fw samba then installed and configured samba v4.14.7 i just added my drive to the standard config result .... 45MB/s
with this samba version the negotiated protocol is now SMB_3.1.1
below my config file i used
[global]
netbios name = Entware-SMB4
interfaces = lo br0

a m2 ssd eats 2-3watts when writing/reading and less than 1w when idle, whereas a mechanical drive that i have and have seen in general have a dedicated psu of 1.5+Amps or 18w+ i plan to keep the drive online all the time and seed torrents from it. for my use case its the ssd is the more...
the client sees the server as smb2
on the router smbd 3.6.25 is running

yep i have been trying some parameters like
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=131072 SO_SNDBUF=131072
send/recv buffers seem to have an impact if configured to small values => speed decreases, but at high values no changes still 50MB/s constant speed.
after further tinkering i narrowed down to the Samba protocol, a ftp transfer to the router usb hdd yields 114MB\s (decent, as expected) router cpu at 88%, so there is something wrong with samba.
i'll give one review i knew on top of my head now, https://dongknows.com/asus-rt-ax86u-ax5700-gaming-router-review/ but i've seen other also with similar results, and on several forums including this one and product comments users report +100MB/s speeds.
i think i described how i tested the...
I recently bought a new ax86u flashed with merlin 386.5 , attached a wd blue ssd (WDS100T2B0B) enclosed in an USB 3.1 rack (orico M2L2-NV03C3-GY) then wired connected to my pc i7-8700 MX500 ssd with a CAT6 cable. i formatted the router drive ext4 no journalling then tried to do a file transfer...
