You didn't provide enough details for anyone to really help you with this.
Since you shared OpenWrt configuration, what exact version are you using?
Are you connecting to a 5GHz or 2.4GHz network when doing the speed test?
What kind of a client device are you using? Does it support 802.11n, 802.11ac?
MT7615 is one of the best supported devices with the mt76 driver, so this shouldn't happen if you are using any remotely modern version.
kmod-mt76-core 5.15.150+2023-09-11-f1e1e67d-1 (OpenWrt 23.05.3) 5 and 2.4 GHz give the same result The laptop supports 802.11n and 802.11ac
I have a very similar issue.
Running OpenWrt 23.05.4 (r24012-d8dd03c46f) on a Xiaomi Redmi AC2100, I get massively reduced speed specifically in download direction. Using speedtest-netperf
package on the router results in speeds of about 360-390 Mbps in both directions, while on a nearby laptop speeds hover around 8-16 Mbps down and 190-220 Mbps up.

There is a way to get a proprietary driver for mt7615e working on OpenWRT? If there is, I'm extremely interested in how to achieve that.
@JohnDowson it's for r3p, but there are links https://github.com/Azexios/openwrt-r3p-mtk
Same issue. After switching from Pandora Box to OpenWrt (v.23.05.4), my r3p gives extremely slow and unstable wifi. I have tried the above recommendation

Replaced the firmware with openwrt-22.03.5-ramips-mt7621-xiaomi_mi-router-3-pro-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin . Now it demonstrates a different behavior, however the result is still unsatisfactory. Wifi speed degrades substantially if the client moves a few meters away from the router.
It seems like something is messed up about power output. Closing a thin wooden door between me and the router causes my laptop to drop from already abysmal single digit mbps to tens of kbps.

Same issue here with a mesh setup on a ramips-mt7621-netgear_wac124:

This patch fixes that issue for me: https://github.com/rany2/openwrt/blob/42894a8f58cda08de1e1f789285f23101c41ba47/package/kernel/mt76/patches/9000-wifi-mt76-mt7615-disable-precal.patch
This patch doesn't seem to have any affect for me.
The RX side is not affected, just the TX side. IOW: iperf -R
doesn't show the regression

No more xD

Did you compile the firmware or installed standalone drivers? I am really new to this
