--- Comment #1 from Russell Haley <russ.ha...@gmail.com> --- Original post on freebsd-arm@ that spurred my investigation. Complete conversation here: http://freebsd.1045724.x6.nabble.com/Beaglebone-Black-FreeBSD-USB-WiFi-WAP-td6201439.html Is anyone using a BeagleBone Black and USB Wifi as a WAP? If so, what kind of throughput do you get on your Wifi? I’m getting very bad network performance. Hardware: - BeagleBone Black rev C. - Tried with two different USB Wifi Adapters: - Edimax N150 (small nub type adapter) - LB Link from Adafruit (https://www.adafruit.com/product/1030) - Both show as RTL8188CUS chips (via dmesg) - Wired connection connected for access to my network and internet OS: - Mostly with the most recent Beaglebone Snapshot of 11.0 - A few quick tests with the 11. snapshot image Connection Speeds: - Using nuttcp (over 100Mbps ethernet) between the BB and another machine, I can get ~90+ Mbps in each direction so I don’t think there is an issue with that part of the connection. - Using the BB as a WAP and connection my iPad I see 1 to 5 Mbps down and < 1 Mbps tested via the Ookla Speedtest app. - Connecting to my ancient Netgear WAP using the same app and test, I get roughly 10 Mbps in either direction with the same test. Configs (pretty much taken right from the handbook): /boot/loader.conf: if_urtwn_load="YES" wlan_mac_load="YES" /etc/rc.conf (relevant parts) ifconfig_cpsw0="inet XX.XX.XX.XX netmask 0xffffff00” defaultrouter=“YY.YY.YY.YY" hostapd_enable="YES" wlans_urtwn0="wlan0" create_args_wlan0="wlanmode hostap" ifconfig_wlan0="up" cloned_interfaces="bridge0" ifconfig_bridge0="addm cpsw0 addm wlan0 up” /etc/hostapd.conf interface=wlan0 debug=1 ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd ctrl_interface_group=wheel ssid=REDACTED wpa=2 wpa_passphrase=REDACTED wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK wpa_pairwise=CCMP Any ideas? Is this just the limit of USB wifi on this board? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
