This topic to find solution for speed issue modems m.2 ( USB 3 ) OpenWrt System (SnapShot)
Modem Quectel RM551E and other modems , USB mode …
Where BPI-R4 using USB 3.2 support to 10GB/s
Note: Test Conducted on same location and same bands …Also conducted on different three systems (OpenWrt , ROOter & immortalWrt ) same issue with installed all packages
Where the speed :
on OpenWrt Router Board Banana BPI-R4 is 350 MB/s
Did you try RM521-F or RM520 on PCIE … As I know , people said it has same issue
The point here also when USB 3.0 or 3.1 or 3.2 can support a high speeds above 5GB/s …Why is limited speed on OpenWrt and other systems up to 400 or 350 mb/s on banana board BPI-R4
On other hand :
When I tested same modems RM521 RM520 FM190 RM551 on M.2 type C i’m getting around 900mb/s or 800mb/s almost full speed of the tower (Type C board m.2 Mcuzone)
if you think that the issue is related with Low USB3.0 speed, I think that you can verify it, plugin one U-Disk into the USB3.0 port. verify the speed that writing one big file.
