RN102 - Network speed very slow (capped at 10MB/s)
Hello, I am having a network issue with my RN102. Whatever I do, all my downloads can't exceed 10MB per second (megabytes not megabits). It stays somewhere around 8.5MB/s actually. If I'm downlo...
UP :)
I ran additional tests with NAS Tester to check my LAN+HDD read/write speed :
Here is the output :
NAS performance tester 1.7 http://www.808.dk/?nastester Running warmup... Running a 400MB file write on T: 5 times... Iteration 1: 61,40 MB/sec Iteration 2: 56,52 MB/sec Iteration 3: 58,62 MB/sec Iteration 4: 53,11 MB/sec Iteration 5: 60,18 MB/sec ----------------------------- Average (W): 57,97 MB/sec ----------------------------- Running a 400MB file read on T: 5 times...

While it's not very high (weirdly read is slower than write) it is still way above 10MB/sec. So LAN speed is OK and HDD speed is OK.
It would seem that the bottleneck is definitely not the hardware, it appears to be directly related to internet downloads.
Quick update, just ran "wget -O /dev/null http://bouygues.testdebit.info/1G.iso" once more, and I don't know what happened, it's as if it got fixed overnight : the download speed is now over 70MB/sec.
Yet I didn't change a single thing.
I also installed speedtest from speedtest.net like this :
sudo apt-get install gnupg1 apt-transport-https dirmngr export INSTALL_KEY=379CE192D401AB61 sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys $INSTALL_KEY echo "deb https://ookla.bintray.com/debian generic main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/speedtest.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install speedtest
and the download speed was around 690Mbps, so it seems to be working fine now.
I'll monitor this. Maybe it's a CPU bottleneck issue ? Downloads slower when python scripts are using a lot of CPU ? I can't figure this out. Anyway, i'll post an update if there's still an issue
