| 09:10 | hobbyquaker_ | hi! i'm experiencing some wifi issues with a cubox i4pro (running igors debian image) |
| 09:10 | hobbyquaker_ | got a very bad round trip time, ping avg is at 80ms, max up to 1500ms |
| 09:11 | hobbyquaker_ | no matter if the cubox is placed next to the wifi ap or 10 meters away |
| 09:11 | hobbyquaker_ | any chance to improve that? |
| 09:11 | hobbyquaker_ | i just tested a usb wifi adapter with small antenna, that is much better, ping avg < 10ms |
| 09:11 | hobbyquaker_ | but i'd like to use the internal wifi if possible... |
| 09:15 | R0nd | hobbyquaker_: I moved to ethernet, cubox's wifi isn't too reliable |
| 09:15 | R0nd | it drops connection under heavy traffic |
| 09:15 | hobbyquaker_ | hmm :( |
| 09:15 | hobbyquaker_ | that's not what i wanted to hear ;-)) |
| 09:16 | R0nd | I think someone mentioned that it's a driver issue |
| 09:16 | R0nd | perhaps it'll get fixed |
| 09:18 | hobbyquaker_ | hmm i just found something about the country setting of the wifi adapter... if i state "iw reg get" i see country is set to "00" which means "international" and does minimum power |
| 09:18 | hobbyquaker_ | i'll try to set this to my country, perhaps thats improving it a bit |
| 09:18 | hobbyquaker_ | will report soon ;) |
| 09:18 | R0nd | interesting |
| 09:20 | hobbyquaker_ | "iw reg set DE" doesnt work, adapter is still in international mode |
| 09:20 | hobbyquaker_ | that leads me to the question: does the cubox wifi adapter allow changing this setting? |
| 09:25 | hobbyquaker_ | aaaah \o/ |
| 09:25 | hobbyquaker_ | got it!!! :D |
| 09:25 | hobbyquaker_ | ping avg now 10ms |
| 09:25 | hobbyquaker_ | just stated "iw dev wlan0 set power_save off" |
| 09:50 | R0nd | hobbyquaker_: can you check if it's stable enough? like can you transfer a large file over wlan? |
| 09:54 | hobbyquaker_ | scp root@cubox-i:~/testfile100MB ./ |
| 09:54 | hobbyquaker_ | testfile100MB 100% 100MB 898.3KB/s 01:54 |
| 09:54 | hobbyquaker_ | bandwidth is low |
| 09:56 | hobbyquaker_ | for my application enough, but i think for streaming hd content f.e. it isnt sufficient |
| 10:01 | hobbyquaker_ | second test gets even worse |
| 10:01 | hobbyquaker_ | scp ./testfile100MB root@cubox-i:~ |
| 10:01 | hobbyquaker_ | testfile100MB 100% 100MB 269.5KB/s 06:20 |
| 10:02 | hobbyquaker_ | iperf looks much better: |
| 10:02 | hobbyquaker_ | root@cubox-i:~# iperf -c 172.23.56.3 |
| 10:02 | hobbyquaker_ | Client connecting to 172.23.56.3, TCP port 5001 |

| 10:02 | hobbyquaker_ | [ 3] local 172.23.56.75 port 40736 connected with 172.23.56.3 port 5001 |

| 10:02 | hobbyquaker_ | [ 3] 0.0-10.1 sec 28.0 MBytes 23.3 Mbits/sec |
| 10:03 | hobbyquaker_ | strange, sshd only uses <10% cpu, don't know why scp is so slow... |
| 10:24 | Falcon1 | The CuBoxTV is an CuBox-i4 with 1GB of memory instead of 2GB right? |
| 10:24 | Falcon1 | Plus Openelec preloaded |
| 10:30 | Falcon1 | Nevermind http://www.solid-run.com/wiki/CuBoxTV#CuBox-i_family_comparison_table |
| 10:31 | Falcon1 | Wifi and Serial access is missing too |
| 20:13 | robert__ | Does the cubox-i4 pro V2 support 5GHZ |
| 20:13 | jnettlet | not with the built in wireless chip. |
| 20:14 | robert__ | jnettlet: thanks |
