Slow WI-PI WLAN - high excessive Tx count?

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Hi all,

I've had, since the start, issues with slow wifi. Copying a file from my MacBook Pro via smb share to my Raspberry Pi takes approximately 20-25 minutes for 1 GB. (around 600 KB/sec). On my MacBook Pro I can easily get speeds of 10 MB/sec for non-Raspberry Pi wifi transfers.

 

I've noticed that I have a high Tx Excessive Retries count (1171) and Invalid Misc (451). The numbers increase quickly whenever I try to transmit a file. I have little experience with Linux and wifi but I was wondering whether this might be a symptom of my issue?

 

To add, I'm on a Raspberry Pi 2 model b running OSMC/Kodi.

 

iwconfig shows:

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:"Lundin" 

          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.437 GHz  Access Point: A0:F3:C1:74:95:95  

          Bit Rate=90 Mb/s   Tx-Power=20 dBm  

          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off

          Power Management:off

          Link Quality=53/70  Signal level=-57 dBm 

          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0

          Tx excessive retries:1171  Invalid misc:451   Missed beacon:0

 

lsusb shows:

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 148f:5370 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless Adapter

 

All the best,

    Replaced my element14 WiPi (Ralink RT5370) with an Edimax 7811Un (Realtek RTL8188CUS). No more errors. I got speeds of 3 MB per second.

     

    (Worth noting, I never ran my RT5370 on a powered USB hub. That might have solved it but after plenty of googling I found several issues with RT5370 and decided to switch instead.)
