WiFi extremely slow… [partially solved]
Posted: 08 Feb 2016, 17:27
Hi!
I am pretty new to Linux, so please forgive me when I fail to see something "obvious" at some point…
I have several MSI CUBI N BN3150 micro-PCs here.
They are supposed to boot into Porteus, display a website with video and keep playing that video in loop.
So far, so good, this all works perfectly - with ethernet.
Turns out that the WiFi module does not really perform well with Porteus.
I made a little debugging site that tells me how far the buffering has gone and windows10 buffers around 5 to 15 sec material per second. So it instantly plays fine, without any hickups.
In Porteus though I get way below real-time. Every second of video needs about 2 to 8 seconds to buffer. Again: Ethernet displays the page perfectly and instantly.
Once buffered, the video loops just fine.
The WiFi board is a AzureWave AW-NE199NF - sporting a Realtek RTL8188EE (1T1R Solo 802.11bgn) BT 4.0 (2.4GHz Band only)
My FritzBox tells me these connection details: 2,4 GHz / n / 20 MHz / WPA2. The accesspoint is about 10 feet away from the PC.
My installer is: Porteus-Kiosk-3.6.0-i486.iso
I have three of those CUBI N PCs here and all of them show this behavior.
I also have another micro-PC here - an Intel NUC 5PGYH.
This one has Intel dual-band WiFi and works like a charm with Porteus.
Is this a known problem or a bug.
And can I do anything to fix it, test anything, run SSH and poke at it?
Any help / feedback welcome!
Thanks
Stefan
