Got it. But I still think at some point a little bit of magic from Mr. Merlin will make it happen. I've just finished a migration to 2.6.8 with DCO on server and clients and it's beyond impressive. (On x86 beefy hardware with many simultaneous clients). I guess I just want more from my router...

It has been backported to 4.18 in the redhat world. So maybe if Asus bumps the kernel to at least that version, there is a chance to replicate what they did. And damn what a difference it would make.... On x86 it does bring openvpn up from 200Mbps to ~900Mbps.

Yes, so upload to another wireless client, even if it's associated with a slave AP, is around 1Gbps, while the main router only does half that. Expected and tested as such. Have you tried to enable RPS for your 5GHz interface? (echo e > /sys/class/net/eth7/queues/rx-0/rps_cpus)

Colin, thanks for pointing me in (possibly) the right direction. (htop can also show softirqs, per core, in magenta below) After seeing core 0 getting swamped, I tried to help it by enabling receive packet steering with the other 3, command also in pic below. Throughput has improved to around...

Actually... They hit the CPU differently. Wireless client to router: Wired client: Ok, back to trying to get to the bottom of this.

Samba on the router, obviously =) Yes, I know it's not a NAS. But it CAN be, if only using wires. I'm very interested about said reason though. If the CPU couldn't do it, it would show on ethernet as well. But it's only on wireless that the upload to router is halved and it's baffling!

Sorry for reviving this, but there aren't that many USB storage related posts. Just to add some data from my n=1 experiment: - AXE11000, Merlin 3004.388.4 - one laptop with AX210 connected on 6GHz, link speed 2401/2401. NVMe inside - another laptop with AX200 connected on 5GHz, link speed...

One laptop with AX210. The only device I need over 1Gb.

'Bout the same, with a few under -70dBm. Also here in EU I feel that DFS sucks even more. To say nothing of less channels to begin with. Around 400 Mbps is what I got, too. Completely unacceptable, hence the need for 6GHz. Because of that "will be". And that "will be" will be in at least 2...

I trust that it is unpopular today. But useless (today OR tomorrow)? No. I live in an apartment building where 5GHz is extremely crowded. A 6E router was the only way I could get Gbit speeds. Was I supposed to wait another 2 years for that, until 802.11be hits the mainstream? Hell no. So how is...
