For me this is the expected behavior, when station is in PS mode, some time is required to leave PS, this is the cost for saving power. Since ping is every second, station goes back to PS between each ping due to dynamic PS timeout, this indeed leads to some latency... I obtain same kind of results pinging my mobile phone. Note that the PS timeout can be changed (100ms by default). >> > > Without this patch I get ping times around a second and SSH is not > usable, with this patch I see similar ping times as you, but SSH is > usable. > > I have not been able to run iperf, because I keep hitting > https://bugs.96boards.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663 Yes, improvement can be mainly observed with high traffic.
