No matter what i try, uploads are always less than half of the download speed. Sometimes not even a quarter of download speed. Tested with iperf3. I don’t have this issue using a mt7922 on a mini pc with crap antennas.
I have tried this:
Linux:
Cards:
Antennas:
Wifi6 and 7, etc.
Am i missing something?
am using the latest snapshot from mainline openwrt. speed and performance are acceptable. testing has been done using wcn6850 as client wifi card. here are some logs:

Thanks for the report. Nice speeds. What card in the R4? Is that a BE14 or a qualcomm one?
BE14, Qualcomm card is 5g modem (RM520-EU) from quectel
