Restore to def, flash that file and then erase nvram

Ok so it does seem like there's misinformation in Barfoot's post above. Thanks for the help.

If you are already on dd-wrt, upload this from the GUI http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC-Arm/dd-wrt.v24-K3_AC_ARM_STD.bin
Select reset after flash or wait till it boots up then select to reset it or telnet and do an erase nvram.

There is a lot indeed. 30-30-30 is not the same as erase nvram, apart from what I have already replied. If you want to try Kong's build try what Malachi said.

As per my information my MBP 15" 2015 does have MIMO 3x3, so I should see TX Rates of about 1300mbps with my R7000 Netgear, am I correct?

I've tried plenty of options and read a dozens of threads here on the forums, but I am not sure if I set up everything correctly.

Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance

And how are you confirming that?

"/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport -I"
maxRate is 1300, but lastTxRate never above 8xx

Even if I am the only wireless client sitting right next to the router.

Also with Alt+Click on the wireless symbol in the upper right corner.

Have you tried iperf or transferring something from LAN-WLAN?

iperf does not seem to work quite well with my Synology, the only device connected to LAN.

But usual transfer speed from wireless to the synology are 25-40mb/s write.

If I connect a LAN cable its 100-105mb/s

will test with iperf asap!

//edit:

Tx rate showed 878mbit

From what I see on your screenshots the only weird thing that I see is using Tx power in manual. Leave that in auto unless you know what it's used for (which isn't give you more power).

Apart from that I would try lower channels like 48 or higher channels 149+. Also check on the connected wifi devices table on ddwrt panel that your MBP is shown with VHT80 width channel.

116 is the highest channel I can choose?

In Germany yes.

Tried with 149 US and 116 Germany, both got up to 70mb/s now.
Don't know why. Only changed TX power to Auto. Maybe that was the problem.



Seems to be good for now. Thanks for your support.

I am using the following version on my R7000:

v3.0 r31160M (01/18/17)

And seem to have an intermittent problem with wifi using multiple vap's / ssid's.

I have 6 virtual interfaces in total - three on the 2.4ghz band and three on the 5ghz band. I see variations of the following problems:

1. Some ssid's disappear randomly for a few minutes at a time.

2. Occasionally, an ssid is duplicated and you cannot connect to it (it either says authentication failed or just keeps trying to connect - this is from an android phone).

3. Connectivity sometimes just drops for up to 5 minutes at a time. But then restores itself. Wired connections are unaffected, which means the WAN interface is up.

I'm now trying to run with fewer ssid's. Utilising the 2.4gz band only for most of them. I'll see how that goes over the next week.

Are there known issues with too many ssid's? Is it better to use different ssid's for 2.4ghz/5ghz bands? Any other suggestions?

I have the same issue. Already made a topic and a bugreport for it. No solution found yet.
