RockPi X Wifi Simple Benchmarks with latest mainline stable kernel 5.16.6.
According to Radxa, RockPi X wifi chip is the Ampak AP6255 with:
- Single-stream spatial multiplexing up to 433.3 Mbps data rate
- 5.18 GHz ~ 5.845 GHz (5.0 GHz ISM Band)
I was only able to use channel 100 / 5500 MHz (limited access in my local area), and used iperf3 for the benchmark.
Board is 2 mt away from the wifi router.
It is time to revisit the wifi performance for other boards and set the same methodology, 2 mt away from wifi router, and see what we get if someone would like to create a generic thread to push the results and discuss which wifi chip is best supported would be interesting.
