I hope this 4.5.5 can be officially released as a beta and packaged fully so no additional commands are need once installed. I realise there may be some other additional changes that you need to make to 4.5.5 before it’s released. Thanks for being so active to resolve bugs. Many Flint2 users are counting on a stable build.
Nothing changed compared to 2.4ghz, they focused on disconnection due to inactivity and no longer being able to connect, which was a serious error, but 2.4ghz remains limited, with high latency and ping.
There’s a chance it’s a hardware issue, but it could easily be a driver issue too. It requires more investigation.
I’ve suggested this before, but someone could ask owners of the Redmi AX6000 what their range and speed is like when using 2.4GHz, since that router uses the same SoC as the GL-MT6000. It’s just got less RAM, less flash storage and no 2.5G ethernet ports.
If an OpenWrt snapshot was compiled with the proprietary MTK drivers and this was still an issue then I guess that’d also prove that it’s likely a hardware design issue.
I don’t believe it’s only hardware issue, since a similar thing happens to GL-MT3000, but not in the same proportion on firmware update (wifi speed is much lower in openwrt 23.05)
I noticed that some devices (laptops mostly) stay connected to Wifi but lose Internet access after a while (a few hours).
I need to disable/enable wifi on each one so that they are properly connected again.
I had some acquaintances here and it seems that the same problem doesn’t happen to them, I asked them to test it on 2.4 at 40hz and they get the maximum download and upload at 40hz.
but I only checked with 2 people, I can’t guarantee that there really isn’t a bug.
We still need time to investigate the issue of low 2.4G wifi speed. If we have any progress, I will provide the temporary firmware for your verification asap.
