If you want to build an image, I’ll leave you the packages I use, everything works perfectly, delete the following packages :dnsmasq and wpad-basic-mbedtls from the selector so as not to conflict with the packages recommended by me! https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/
If I disable 5GHz and use AX from my PC with an AX210 network card then I’ll easily max out 2.4GHz. But if I limit 2.4GHz to N mode then I won’t get more than 100Mbps on all of my devices and the speed seems erratic.
With GL.iNets beta firmware 802.11n performs almost as well as 802.11ax via an OpenWrt snapshot. That is to say I’ll consistently get over 160Mbps.
Your link speed seems to suggest 802.11n @ 40MHz. So, this is the best I’ve seen an 802.11n device perform on 2.4GHz with the mt76 driver.
Your phone is more in line with what I experience.
Do you have any screenshots from the 4.5.7 beta firmware? Since I’m trying to gather data on just how much of a speed difference there is between the mt76 driver and the MTK driver when using 2.4GHz with similar settings.
Yes, I’ve done multiple factory resets and without saving my existing configuration. It was like this out of the box and still gets the CRC error after firmware upgrades.
I hope they optimize the SMB server, while transferring files from Windows to the network storage sometimes the speed goes down to 0MB/s for a while, v4.5.6
Those drops usually happen. And also it takes a while to start transferring once you start copying files, I usually storage large files on my network (5~15GB)
That also applies to other models not only the Flint 2
Hi Oly, when doing your custom build, do I need to manually load all these packages or does the build load up all packages included by default at bootup? I see Luci is included so will it load up Luci now?
It isn’t noise by any means. It’s an actual issue. Some routers, like a Linksys WRT3200/WRT32X, have enough space and allow multiple boot partitions. This router is advertised with premium features; one would expect it to have a second boot partition. I’d love to be able to use multiple boot partitions and switch back and forth to test different firmware by using fw_setenv boot_part. I don’t want to open my Flint 2 and hook up a serial TTL cable, but I’m very close to doing it now. At least I’d be able to stop the U-boot boot sequence and check things out.
