Apparently this option allows compatibility with legacy 801.11b devices. When I disabled the 'Enable 20/40 MHz coexistence' option my throughput increased to 12-20Mbps on the 2.4GHz band, a slight improvement. Anyway, during my troubleshooting I was testing the various wi-fi config options. I don't want to roll the firmware back because the last two releases contain security fixes. I tried restoring the defaults and that didn't fix my problem. And if that doesn't work people recommended going back a couple of firmware versions, thinking the issues are a result of a dodgy updates that Netgear has been rolling out. I have a Netgear router and according to a lot of boards the solution is to restore the factory defaults then load your configuration file back into it. Ping times are 2-4ms on 5.8GHz and 75+ on 2.4GHz. Speedtest showing 250-300Mbps on the 5.8GHz band and 1-5Mbps on the 2.4GHz band. Every day I find new, practical things to design and make.įunny thing about the performance on wi-fi.I've been having issues with the throughput of my 2.4GHz wi-fi over the last week. So if you already have the Pi Zero and don't mind dangling a USB hub and Ethernet adapter, it'll work. Out of curiosity I tested the performance with powerline Ethernet adapters and it worked fine. I do have a wired Ethernet line in my garage so no problems there.

I'm going to run it off the wired interface because I plan to put the printer in the garage and want to monitor prints without having to go out and check on the machine. The quality of the time-lapse videos is okay because it's just snapping a single photo on z-axis change or at a defined interval. There is a lag of approximately 8 seconds and the frame rate is really slow. When I use the wi-fi interface the video grinds to a halt. I'm using an Edimax EU-4208 plugged into a USB hub along with the serial connection to the Mk3. In short, it works wonderfully with a USB-Ethernet adapter. I just finished building my Mk3 and I bought a Pi Zero and a generic Raspian camera that uses the native camera interface before stumbling into the performance issues with the camera and Wi-Fi. Looks like there's been plenty of replies to your question but I'll share my experience anyway.
