Wi-Fi throughput

Throughput test setup

  • Environment: Shield Room - Over the Air

  • Access Point: Asus AX88u

  • DUT: AW611 uBlox (Module: U-BLOX_Jody_W5 M.2) with EVK-MIMXRT1180 EVKA platform

  • DUT Power Source: External power supply

  • Client: Apple MacBook Air

  • Channel: 6 | 36

  • Wi-Fi application: wifi_wpa_supplicant

  • Compiler used to build application: armgcc

  • Compiler Version: gcc-arm-none-eabi-13.2

  • iPerf commands used in test:

TCP TX

iperf -c <remote_ip> -t 60

TCP RX

iperf -s

UDP TX

iperf -c <remote_ip> -t 60 -u -B <local_ip> -b 120

Note: The default rate is 100 Mbps.

UDP RX

iperf -s -u -B <local_ip>

Note: Read more about the throughput test setup and topology in 2.

The throughput numbers are captured with default configurations using wifi_wpa_supplicant sample application.
