Topic: OpenWrt 15.05 wifi 72mbit/s

Hello. I have router tp-link 841nd with OpenWrt 15.05. I setup wifi to N mode and width 40 MHz, but display wifi speed 72mbit/s sometimes drops to 11.7mbits/p.
But when i transfer data on my local network through pc and notebook (wifi adapter support 150 Mbit/s) my speed is only about 5 MB/s.
Before, i have 14.07, everything is ok and speed about 10MB/s. What the hell?
Have wifi clients with old wifi adapters.

Edit your /etc/config/wireless and add:

config wifi-device 'radio0'
...
    option noscan '1'

Or from a ssh shell/terminal window:

root@OpenWrt:~# uci set wireless.radio0.noscan=1
root@OpenWrt:~# uci commit

It worked for my WR842ND.

no fix to this? thinking of going back to stock firmware just because of this 20mhz limitation

look at your post no 4 it should be

    option noscan '1'



with '1' not just a 1

it does have the ' ', I think the forum stripped it out
still no luck.. works for some minutes then 20mhz again

Worked for my router too with 15.05 on TPLINK3220 and TPLINK727 wifi dongle

The discussion might have continued from here.
