WIFI slow - degraded performance - nemke - 18th Dec, 2013 11:48 AM Software XBian version: 1.0Beta2 XBMC version: 12.2 Overclock settings: 950MHz Hardware Power supply rating: Apple USB (5V) RPi model (model A/B 256mb/512mb): Model B 512mb SD card size and make/type: Lexar 8GB Class 10 Network (wireless or LAN): WIFI ADAFRUIT INDUSTRIES 814 MINIATURE WIFI MODULE, RASPBERRY PI Connected devices (TV, USB, network storage, etc.): USB Keyboard, Monitor (1080p), USB WIFI Dongle Logile Link to logfile(s): N/A Problem description: Hi everyone, this is my first post. I've searched extensively and can't find the solution to my issue. The problem is that my WIFI speed is very low. I am sitting 3 meters from the router. I am only getting 100kb/s - 200 kb/s on both read and write to the SD card (I am testing speed through WinSCP). I've tried different SD card, power adapter without any luck. Also tried OpenElec but I like Xbain more (same issue). Wired works fine with no lag. What can I try to improve the transfer speed? RE: WIFI slow - degraded performance - nemke - 18th Dec, 2013 02:03 PM Never mind looks like I figured it out... First rule of troubleshooting I guess, replace with known good part. Tried another WIFI dongle and getting 1.2MB/sec now, so big improvement I think that the WIFI dongle I was using is just crap RE: WIFI slow - degraded performance - IriDium - 19th Dec, 2013 05:02 AM Glad you sorted it out yourself - yep there is some bad stuff out there. As the distance is so small, I would recommend a Ethernet connection if possible. Also, with Xbian Beta 2 I have seen no need to alter the overclock for normal usage - in fact you could reduce it to normal and I doubt there would be any issues. (Just my thoughts) |
