Very poor performance of 2.4GHz and freezes on 5GHz at Netgear R6300v2
Issue #35
new
two issues at the price of one:
2.4GHz
In the same conditions, channel, device and its position, at 2.4GHz:
V1.0.4.34_10.0.92 netgear firmware: ~40Mbit/s download & ~25Mbit/s upload;
freshtomato 2019.1.015-beta-aio: ~4Mbit/s download & ~9Mbit/s upload;
(my ISP provides me 50 Mbit/s download & 25Mbit/s upload, so upload result on stock firmware is limited by ISP)
5GHz
Download from external HDD connected to the router via USB 3.0 (samba, 5GHz): sometimes speed drops to 0, and after a short period of time jumps to normal, and in rare cases, download interrupts with a network error. I can't reproduce this issue via an ethernet connection, so I think this issue relates to wifi, rather than to samba. Also, I think that this is firmware related because on stock firmware I have not experienced such behavior

should be fixed with next release. Wifi parameter have been adjusted.

should I erase NVRAM after installing beta 220 and before testing?

without erasing the second issue is still present. maybe it occurs less often, not sure though

You need to erase nvram, no way around it. 2019.3 is a mega update. You can not use a backup. Please do a full nvram erase (thorough). After that enter your settings

okay, so I’ve erased NVRAM and set up everything as it was before. after erasing:
2.4GHz seems to work much better, I would call it fixed) thank you)
I can’t test in same exact conditions as it was in February, but before erasing I had smth about 15 MBit/s download and 20 MBit/s upload, and now it is around 70/24, which corresponds to my ISP limits (70/25)
5GHz issue is still present. I’m not sure but it feels like it is less intrusive now. speed drops are mostly from 24-28MB/s to 5-10MB/s, and only sometimes to 0

Starting with this version you have new advanced wifi options. Try to play with implicit beamforming, air time fairnes, turbo quam. Maybe your client/combination does not like implicit/universal beamforming. Please test. Maybe try also a different country for testing, SG (Singapore) for example
