Hi @realJustinLee,
Let's continue the discussion here.
It's been a while since I tested 6GHz AP so there might be a regression in the latest snapshot. Right now I can't test it myself, so it would be helpful if you can give me some more information.
Could you run these commands on both AP and client, and post the results here?
service network restart
# wait 10 seconds
cat /etc/config/network
cat /etc/config/wireless
dmesg
logread -l 50
iwinfo
iw list
ls -l /sys/class/ieee80211/*/device/driver
And also try turning on 5GHz HE80 AP by only changing band
, htmode
, and channel
in /etc/config/wireless
. Does it work or not?
Hi @mans0n.
Thanks for the swift reply. I gonna elaborate on the information you requested:
Here are the configs:
These are the logs and configs form the AP side, and I gonna elaborate on the details of the client side in the next comment.
Hi @mans0n,
Sorry for the delayed reply, I tried 6ghz as station on openwrt+mt7922 and another openwrt+mt7922 as ap. However, windows and ubuntu seem not to work, currently, I'm looking for the RCA. Thanks anyways. Appreciated.
I wonder whether it's the fault of the legacy atena since 5GHz works fine and is also scannable on Windows and Ubuntu. But 6GHz only works on OpenWrt, and the signal is utterly weak. As for the RCA, I still need some further research. Thanks anyways.
So OpenWrt STA is fine. Good to hear that.
Windows and Ubuntu should work in theory. Perhaps the country you live in does not allow 6GHz operation? You can check it with iw reg get
on Ubuntu.
Weak signal might be a kernel driver limitation, I guess we should live with that for now.
What do you mean by RCA?
Hi, @mans0n,
A few weeks ago, I came across your blog about using MT7922 as a 6Ghz AP. I've got some pieces of MT7922 and an Intel AX211, an Intel AX210, and an Intel Killer 1690i in hand, and I tried your wireless configurations on my OpenWRT, but it doesn't seem to work. There must be something wrong on my side. So, I would like to discuss some critical aspects of this topic with you. This is the custom OpenWRT repo I've been using and building. I've enabled MT7921e drivers and MT7922 firmware in the build menu. The wireless config file was your direct copy, just replacing the PCIe address.
It would be my honor to hear back from you, and if it's convenient, I would love to have a Zoom meeting with you to discuss this topic further.
BR, Justin
