Hello -
First post to this forum - hope it isn't out of line. I have been running Armbian 4.5 on my Lamobo-R1 for a few months. WiFi has been stable, in that connections do not drop, as long as I disable 802.11n.
However, there are two issues that may be related:
1) Throughput is crap - I max out at 8-10 Mbps - which fortunately is sufficient for my needs
2) Huge number of dropped RX packets.
Anything I can do to improve this? I've cut & paste details below.
Regards and thanks,
Ashok
P.S Thomas - if you read this post, perhaps you remember me from more than a decade ago on the netatalk list?
