Model: Archer AX80  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.1 Build 241027

Hello All,

We are pleased to offer a pre-release version of firmware, version V1.1.1, for the Archer AX80(EU) V1. This update brings significant improvements to the USB read and write performance, enhancing the overall user experience.

 

New Features/Enhancements

  • Optimized the L2TP/IPsec VPN performance.
  • Enhanced USB sharing performance.
  • Optimized system stability.

 

Case Sharing

To showcase the performance of the latest firmware, we conducted a performance test with the following setup:

  1. We connected a USB solid-state drive (SSD) to the USB port of the AX80 router.
  2. A PC with a 2.5G LAN network adapter was connected to the AX80 2.5G LAN port.
  3. Using Samba file sharing, we performed a CrystalDiskMark test on the PC.


The results were impressive, with read speeds of up to 290MB/s and write speeds of approximately 120MB/s, representing a substantial upgrade.

Specifically, the read speed for a single 5GB movie file was an impressive 280MB/s.

 

Notes:

  • The Archer AX80 router features a single 2.5G port that supports speeds beyond 1Gbps. To test the Samba shared folder read and write performance, we recommend switching the 2.5G port to the LAN port and utilizing CrystalDiskMark on your 2.5G LAN PC.
  • Enabling QoS may impact the USB read and write performance. If the performance does not meet your expectations, we suggest temporarily disabling the QoS feature.

As per others on this thread we'd hugely appreciate if some of these optimizations can be incorporated in the AX55v1 firmware as that one currently tops at around 30-40MB/sec which is hugely sub-par to the spec of the USB3.0 which it comes equipped with.
