OpenWrt - HP 10GBase-T Flex IO (56Q71AA) NIC Testing (with HP EliteDesk 805 G8) Van Tech Corner 2025-08-17 | In this video, let's take a look at the HP 10Gb Ethernet Flex IO module (Marvell AQtion AQC113C) and test how well it works with OpenWrt.The module comes in HP’s proprietary Flex IO form factor and connects via PCIe. In order to get it work with OpenWrt, we need the kmod-atlantic kernel module.For testing, I used an HP EliteDesk 805 G8 with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, 64GB of RAM, and OpenWrt installed on a USB drive. Besides the Flex IO module, I also configured additional network interfaces using a USB 3.0 to 2.5GbE adapter (as the WAN port).Although the card reported a 10Gbps link, the LAN to LAN throughput was around 5–6 Gbps, depending on the stream configuration. Perhaps there is something wrong with PCIe bandwidth or other factors, which I will investigate further in a follow-up video.At the end, I also measured system power consumption during the test for additional insights.Video timeline:00:00 - HP 10Gb Flex IO & EliteDesk 805 G8 Introduction00:48 - Installation Approach01:17 - Build & Install OpenWrt with required drivers01:50 - Hardware Connection02:11 - Boot up OpenWrt on the HP EliteDesk 805 G802:33 - Check the HP 10Gb Flex IO PCI log with pciutils03:08 - Install driver for HP 10Gb Flex IO (kmod-atlantic) & add to LAN bridge03:34 - Change LAN port to HP 10Gb Flex IO & iperf3 test04:08 - Connect HP 10Gb Flex IO to Zyxel XGS1250-1204:56 - LAN to LAN iperf3 Throughput test05:36 - ipef3 Test with Power Consumption Meter❤️ Special thanks to samsepi01 (discord) for lending me the device.Resources:- OpenWrt firmware selector: firmware-selector.openwrt.org- OpenWrt Driver for HP 10Gb Flex IO Module (AQC113C): kmod-atlantic- HP 10GBase-T Flex IO (56Q71AA): hp.com/ng-en/products/accessories/product-details/2101153642Thanks for watching and see you in the next video.
Testing 6GHz WiFi on WS-AP3825i (OpenWrt) with AW7916-NPD – Does It Work? Van Tech Corner 2025-07-13 | In my previous video, I tested the ExtremeNetworks WS-AP3825i with the AsiaRF AW7916-NPD WiFi 6E module on 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, achieving up to 800 Mbps throughput, of course by using OpenWrt.In this video, I take it one step further by attempting to enable and test the 6GHz band.Using OpenWrt, most configurations had to be done manually via /etc/config/wireless due to current LuCI limitations. Despite multiple attempts, including setting option band '6g', enabling the enable_6ghz driver parameter, and broadcasting from 2 radios, the 6GHz SSID remained disabled or invisible to client devices like the Intel AX210 WiFi 6E and iPhone 15.Video timeline:00:00 - Introduction00:50 - 1st Attempt - option band '6g'01:39 - 2nd Attempt - enable_6ghz=1 (runtime)02:22 - 3rd Attempt - enable_6ghz=1 (permanent)02:42 - 4th Attempt - Almost success03:43 - Last Attempt - Same SSID for 2.4GHz and 6GHzIf you have any suggestions or workarounds, feel free to share them in the comments.Link to the resources:- forum.openwrt.org/t/issue-utilizing-mt7916-on-bpi-r3/170140- github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/17632#issuecomment-2655973661Stay tuned for the next video, where I’ll test the AW7916-NPD on an x86 machine to evaluate its full throughput potential.Thanks for watching and see you in the next video.

OpenWrt One - Adding the 2nd 2.5GbE Port and Throughput Test Van Tech Corner 2025-01-13 | As some of you commented, it will be great if the OpenWrt One has 2 x 2.5GbE port. So, why not adding one using the M.2 slot?In this video, I will add another 2.5GbE to the OpenWrt One using the PCIe to 2.5GbE NIC with Intel I225-V Controller. In order to do that, I will need an M.2 Key-M to PCIe x4 adapter, and for this project, I used the one with label NGFFP4X-N03.The video will walk you through the USB-C Console boot up, installing the driver for Intel I225-V 2.5GbE Controller, configure the NIC and speedtest with iperf3 & OpenSpeedTest. I have also included the power meter, just in case you want to know the power consumption.Besides the I225-V, the Intel I340-T4 (Intel 82580 controller) and Intel Gigabit CT adapter also work great with OpenWrt One. However, the 2.5GbE NIC with Realtek RTL8125BG is not working.In case you want to know the result, the maximum WAN to LAN throughput the OpenWrt One can handle is 1.3Gbps before the CPU max out. It does deliver 2.37Gbps LAN to LAN throughput, but with 95% CPU load (you don't want this).Buy the OpenWrt One (affiliate): amzn.to/4kpWvzqVideo timeframe:00:00 - Intro00:28 - M.2 Key-M to PCIe x4 adapter (NGFFP4X-N03)00:51 - Connecting the NIC & Adapter01:05 - USB-C Serial Console - How to use it02:03 - Boot up OpenWrt One with Serial Console03:28 - Install pciutils and check the PCIe NIC status03:50 - Install kernel driver for Intel I225-V (kmod-igc)06:01 - Change the LAN port to 2.5GbE (PCIe)07:59 - WAN to LAN - No Offloading09:22 - WAN to LAN - Software Offloading10:12 - WAN to LAN - Hardware Offloading11:28 - OpenWrt One x Intel I340-T4 (Intel 82580)12:00 - OpenWrt One x 2.5GbE Realtek RTL8125BG (not working)That will be all.

Linksys WRT1900AC V1 (throughput) is broken after DSA migration (OpenWrt 21/22/23) Van Tech Corner 2023-09-10 | The Linksys WRT1900AC's throughput is very poor after upgraded to OpenWrt 21, 22 and 23 where DSA replaced swconfig.With OpenWrt 19, the Linksys WRT1900AC V1 can handle Gigabit (940Mbps) WAN to LAN throughput. However, it only does 350/800 Mbps with OpenWrt 21/22/23 (PPPoE). WAN to LAN throughput better for DHCP (780/660 Mbps), but still far away from the expected throughput.For now, the only solution I have to improve the performance is downgrading the WRT1900AC to OpenWrt 19 where swconfig is being used. If you have any idea how to get a better throughput/performance with OpenWrt 21/22/23, please share in the comment section.WRT1900 return to stock firmware - openwrt.org/toh/linksys/wrt1900ac#return_to_stock_firmwareVideo timeframe:00:00 - Intro & Story01:15 - WRT1900AC V1 Throughput with OpenWrt 22 (DSA)02:32 - Failed to Downgrade from OpenWrt 22 to OpenWrt 19 using LuCI03:16 - Revert / Return Linksys WRT1900AC V1 to stock firmware03:51 - Install OpenWrt 19 from Linksys Stock Firmware04:20 - Configure PPPoE with VLAN tagging04:54 - PPPoE throughput - SW Offloading Disabled05:12 - PPPoE throughput - SW Offloading Enabled05:46 - Configure PPPoE with no VLAN tagging & throughput06:23 - Final wordsThat is all.
