As I mentioned in my initial post, the transfer speeds measured after initial setup on Merlin's FW were ~30MB/s stock clocks and ~70MB/s CPU overclocked. I shared the results here...

I had this idea, so I restarted the router and stopped services like transmission that could cause something like this. Resetting the router to defaults = no SWAP and no features beside samba enabled. For now, I managed to get ~30MB/s reads and ~25MB/s writes. That's way too slow compared to the...

Another update: Tried another USB 3 to SATA enclosure to completely eliminate the storage issue (with the HDD change mentioned above). Tried to reset the router - no significant change. Next steps reverting to the stock Asus FW or really old one if the stock does not help.

I replaced the HDD with another one and it behaves exactly the same. Upgrade to 384.4 did not change anything. I'd really like to avoid re-initializing the router, so more ideas to fix/troubleshoot would be appreciated

Tried the 3rd option before posting.

The disk is formatted as EXT4. Changing the disk is a bit tricky as there are quite a few things on it including SWAP, configurations and other programs like transmission installed on it. Though I do want to clone the disk to another one to eliminate HW problem. I did use the e2fsck to verify...

Yes, same behavior.

The setup: RT-AC68 FW384.3 The router CPU is overclocked to 1000MHz to improve USB Storage performance with 2.4GHz wi-fi enabled. The problem: trying to transfer files from USB HDD attached to the router to a computer over 1GB link results in inconsistent speed and complete failure with very...

This thing (absence of connection uptime) is annoying me for some time. Sometimes I just want to check for how long my connection is up to identify some issues (be it ISP or whatever). This info was available on my old D-Link under WAN status. Guess I'll use the wan-start script to store the...

well ... It was good reminder to disable adblock here :)

/proc/cpuinfo does not contain frequency. You can have a rough estimation of the frequency simply by dividing BogoMIPS value by 2. For example BogoMIPS : 1998.84 means that CPU runs at 1000MHz (1GHz). also, just to avoid any troubles (after all experiments), connect to your router via...

I use the router for the torrents (not heavy ones) and file server. with stock clock and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi on. File copy was at ~35MBps transfer rate With 1200/800 and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi off - it was 70MBps (which is fine for the 2.5" 5400rpm hdd). If 2.4GHz Wi-Fi turned on, the transfer rate is...
