Model: Deco M9 Plus  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.5.6

Hello,

 

After having to deal with some network performance issues between my computer and server, which i thought was SMB (samba) issue, causing me only to be able to transfer files with 50MB/Sec or 500 Mbit...

 

tried the following setups... hopfully this is understandable... :)

Method 1 - max speed archived over network file share and iperf3 speed test tool  - 50MB/sec or 500 Mbit/sec

-------------------------
                    -> port 1, main computer,
mesh router 
                    -> port 2, gigabit switch -> server

 

Method 2- max speed archived over network file share and iperf3 speed test tool  - 50MB/sec or 500 Mbit/sec

-------------------------
                    -> port 1, main computer,
mesh router 
                    -> port 2, server

 

Method 3- max speed archived over network file share and iperf3 speed test tool  - 110MB/sec or Full 1Gbit/sec

-------------------------
                                                          -> port 1, main computer,
                    -> port 1, gigabit switch 
                                                          -> port 2, server
mesh router 
                    -> port 2, empty

 

 

So apprently the CPU SOC/firmware whatever in the deco m9, is not capable of running full 1gbit on the internal network ports between direct clients... but having both clients connected to a switch and then the switch to the mesh router, allowed me to bypass the mesh router due to layer 2 in the switch without having to router traffic to the mesh router...

  @kladze 

Hi, Thank you very much for the feedback.

Based on the above tests, I do have one question and hope you could help me figure it out.

1. I see both Ethernet ports on Mesh router have been used to connect LAN server/computer, are you testing with one of the satellite M9 nodes?

or actually the main M9 plus but it is not connected to any WAN connection at this moment?

 

Later I might need to forward your case to the senior engineers for further assistance.

Would it be possible that you could add some iperf speed test screenshots for me?

 

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.

  @David-TP Hi David,

 

I have tried to illustrate the setup with some pictures...

 

In terms of iperf - i dont have any at the moment, but i could replicate the the setup and forward into this thread a bit later today

 

Testing method 1

 

 

Testing method 2

 

Testing method 3
