Operating Systems

Server: KDE Neon 5.15

Client: Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.1

Barrier Version

2.2.0 (flatpak) on both machines

First a quick thank you for your work. Barrier is really great.

I have switched from a Huawei b593u-12 router to a TP-Link Archer C7, and replaced its firmware with OpenWrt.
Using ethernet everything is fine.
With Wifi, as long as I keep using the mouse and keyboard everything is fluid, but if I stop for a microsecond there's a tiny stutter on resume. It feels like the connection goes to sleep if there's no activity, but immediately.

The problem probably comes from the router, but maybe someone knows a fix?

Thanks for reading

edit: when idle the ping to my router from wifi is around 5ms, but as soon as I start moving the pointer it drops to around 2ms

Yeah, I think there's just an inherent overhead that adds weird latency over wifi in my experience.

Oops I didn't see your post before closing this.

I'm having different results after router reboot. Seems to me it really is the router and OpenWrt is not really stable on it.
Barrier on wifi worked quite well with the less powerful other router, no stutter, except when I would copy large files.
