Poor backhaul performance with latest firmware

Poor backhaul performance with latest firmware

Installed the lastest firmware (v 2.1.1.12) without a hitch, but according to the web interface, backhaul connection is now "poor", despite the router and satalite sitting no more than 2m apart! Restarting the kit and hitting the sync button makes no difference... is there a way to accurately measure the throughput between the router and its satalite? 

 

Any and all advice will be much appreciated,


Roy

Re: Poor backhaul performance with latest firmware

 

To test backhaul throughput, the best method is to download iperf3 and run a test between a wired device on the RBR unit and a wired device on the RBS unit.

 

One one device you run iperf3 as a server. Example: iperf3 -s

On the other device you run iperf3 as a client and connect to the server. Example if the server was on a device with IP 10.0.0.5:  iperf3 -c 10.0.0.5 -t 30

 

I get around 575 Mbps.
