[Solved] CSO slow Wifi

[N.I.C.E]

Hey there,

I received my CSO this week and assembled my Gameboy yesterday with joy and success. Big thanks to kite, HoolyHoo and the nice community.

But despite everything runs fine, I have noticed that Wifi is painfully slow. A wget download from a nearby server will run at 500kByte/s, a local SFTP tranfer using FileZilla only around 250kByte/s. I own an ordinary Pi3 which transfers around 10 times faster using Wifi.
I am using the latest release (retropie-4.4-rpi2_rpi3-wifi_CSO_CM3_20180603-154410.zip).

Is this "normal"?

Apart from the slow speed, the connection is reliable. It is not a massive deal, I just wanted to transfer some PSX roms using SFTP instead of USB just for being lazy

The wifi isn't very strong, try moving it closer to where your router is

Also, for large files it's often easier/quicker to use something like Paragon EXTFS on your PC/Mac

Yeah, wifi on the Pi never was the strongest, that's why I tested directly nearby the router but it was slow.
Nonetheless it speeded up itself magically. Since two day wifi runs like hell (for Pi standards) so... fixed... somehow

Btw: I am transferring my roms using samba now as the CM3 often freezed during transfer (I think it's this problem:
