A mt76 wifi dongle success

Technical Support for Routers

I've currently been using an Asus USB-AC51 (MT7610U) as my uplink on a Brume 2 running firmware 4.6.4 for several days with no problems.

I haven't tried AP mode, nor will I at this point.

I just wanted to note this, because I've waited about 4 years to be able to plug a mt76 dongle into OpenWRT and/or GL.iNet's firmware and have it work without problems, and that's finally happened. The bugfixes are arriving!

Glad that it works. No need to install any drivers etc.?

Just kmod-mt76x0u :slight_smile:

It works for uplink but the GL.iNet firmware remains in "No internet connection! Find a network to reconnect" mode because it doesn't expect uplink from wifi... so, some GLi functions don't work.

It seems not a good design in firmware to hardcore functions to router models. Appreciate that if you can send a screenshot.
