Streamrelay functionality implemented in NightlyBuild version is working very well as intended. Stream relay user bouquets are not required anymore.

iperf3 -c should work fine on the box, as you can see from my post.

 

Any more info about that error message? Usually it comes with a description of the error that causes it?,

 

I can't comment any further, I need to know the exact driver used for the chipset TPLINK is using. Probably some realtek thing, they are known for their cheap crap...

root@vuultimo4k:~# iperf3 -c 142.251.33.68                          
iperf3: error - unable to send control message: Bad file descriptor 
root@vuultimo4k:~#                                                  
 
I've got always the same error as above. Tried to reinstall iperf3, but with no avail. Maybe something else is missing? The router is Archer AX73 with Broadcom BCM6750 1.5Ghz Triple-Core CPU.

Thanks for the new image!

There is an issue with wifi driver in latest nightly and 9.0RC on Vu+ Ultimo 4K. As shown on screenshots, with PLi 8.3 the Bitrate connection is 866.5 Mb/s, but on 9.0RC is just 400 Mb/s. I've noticed this on latest nighties as well. The nightly builds from 3-4 months ago doesn't have this problem. 

 If somebody with same box can check and reconfirm that max speed now is limited to just 400 Mb/s, then might be necessary to switch back to previous driver if this is the issue...

 

Kernel versions haven't changed (no vendor updates their linux kernel), therefore drivers haven't changed. It is possible, if your TP_LINK uses an out-of-tree driver, that there was a new version of that driver. But for that I need to know which driver is in use.

 

Have you tested the throughput?

 

What is shown there is whatever the commandline tools report, which is usually rubbish.

 

This is not unique to the box, Windows does exactly the same. The speed it displays bears no resemblance to the real world, if only because the driver has no idea what else is active (wifi is a shared medium and throttles to the speed of the slowest client).

 

I've checked two boxes:

both tested to my NAS.
 

my Solo has 2.4Ghz connection, the Mutant a 5Ghz connection. I only use 40Mhz bands on 5Ghz, which limits the maximum throughput a bit.

 

As a test I moved everything off the AP the Solo was connected to, that changed the reported bitrate figure, but didn't significantly change the throughput.

 

Here is my iwconfig output:

root@vuultimo4k:~# iwconfig wlan3

I use 160MHz band on 5GHz. Not sure how to check the throughput, as iperf3 -c with any IP address is giving some error: unable to send control message.
The router webinterface is showing the same speed of 400Mb/s.
Just flashed again the develop image from 11th of April, and the bitrate was back to 866.5Mb/s, so definitely something was changed during the last 3-4 months. When i did online actualization of that image and became up-to date(2023-08-17), the bitrate changed again to 400Mb/s.
Perhaps this is only Ultimo 4K issue, but it will be good if someone else test with different receiver by switching from latest RC/develop and 8.3 or older develop from April.

Thanks for the new image!

There is an issue with wifi driver in latest nightly and 9.0RC on Vu+ Ultimo 4K. As shown on screenshots, with PLi 8.3 the Bitrate connection is 866.5 Mb/s, but on 9.0RC is just 400 Mb/s. I've noticed this on latest nighties as well. The nightly builds from 3-4 months ago doesn't have this problem. 

 If somebody with same box can check and reconfirm that max speed now is limited to just 400 Mb/s, then might be necessary to switch back to previous driver if this is the issue...


In Topic: Vu+ 4K Multiboot

Hereby to confirm that the Multiboot is working fine on Ultimo 4K, just in Menu-Settings-Flash Image i see only the OpenPLi images. Those from other teams are not available, so i had to manually put them in media/hdd/downloaded_images, and then to install them from the menu in to desired slot.

Just change the "alternative url for images listed on Flashimage" (Menu - Setup - System - Customize) into 'all' and all images will be visable.

 

I didn't notice that option before. Now i have them. Thanks!
