My 'test' setup is following: I downloaded a larger file and let a youtube video play. With tracing enabled the download and the playback did work nicely. Without tracing enabled playing back only a youtube video was 'triggering' the problem. It downloads a few seconds of content in a burst and then the playback starts. Under normal conditions, the app will continue downloading the video at a lower rate. But this normally doesn't happen right now. Often it will just stop working and often the connection is completely blocked, e.g. pinging a host wont work.I'll see if I can reproduce, but if it's specific to the AP then I may not have any luck. Don't expect to hear much from me until next week though; I'm on holiday starting today and will be visiting family.It seems I'm unable to reproduce the problem with any of the APs available to me, unfortunately.I tried it again with disabled the TX trace but I can't reproduce it either. Well, I am sick of this AP and I might just get a better one (which should be fairly simple).FYI, I got my old Netgear 11g AP out and I get a very 'smooth' wifi experience. If you like you can add Tested-by tag :)You basically tested 11g operation is ok. Still interesting to know, because it may indicate that problems start happening when doing 11n rates and/or A-MPDU sessions.
A friend of mine have the same 11n AP and for them it also behaves pretty shitty for him (Windows even worse then Linux...). I don't know if it is worth to continue to debug with this this particular 11n AP. I had a good performance during LinuxCon which indicates that it is really only my home AP. What I could do is to test with 11n APs at my workplace and see if the it is really only my home 11n AP. cheers, daniel
