Will future releases go back to using the OpenWRT 23.05 base?

Yes,but the time we can’t guarantee the time. We will keep an eye on the MTK’s update.

@alex_zheng that is a good move to go to the current base 23.05. Will lower your maintenance costs quite a bit as many problems are resolved in the later base. You won’t need to backport fixes like you do for 21.02.

With 1 stream not possible. Laptops and small devices with 1 stream (1 antenna) will be limited to much less than 400 Mbps. With 2 streams, in very ideal conditions with 160 Mhz channels, you can connect to the router at 800 Mbps - 1.1 Gbps. After overhead for signaling which is about 30%, you are down to at most 700 Mbps in ideal conditions. So, someone with a desktop PC with an AX210 card with 2 antennas might connect at 1.1 Gbps, but practically get around 500 - 600 Mbps of throughput.

The question itself is pretty useless because it won’t tell anyone much. “Will driving over a dirt track slow down my 300 hp machine?” - yes but this isn’t because of the 300 hp, but because of the dirt track. Same with Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi itself won’t slow it down - bad connection does.

I’m grateful for your informative post. Valero Credit Card It’s always good to stay informed.

There are also other factors than noise in the frequency band. I believe that the halfed WiFi speed is maybe caused by the wireguard MTU.

Does anyone of you get a faster connection when using the hardware acceleration?

I have much better WiFi speeds than 600Mbit when using a Fritz 1200 AX (AP mode, 160Mhz, 2400 Mbit) maxing out the 1Gbit LAN speed.

The normale rule is:

Expected throughput = Data Rate x 0.65

So with a 160 MHz connection of 2400Mbit you should be able to expect a real world throughput of upto 1500Mbit, while being in the same room of the WiFi router.

3 posts were split to a new topic: How to install OpenWrt on Flint2?

Hello Devs,

when can we expect a fix for the wireless issue? The performance and particularly the range is catastrophic. I am currently running the 4.5.6

FW 4.5.6…

With new release u h solved this :

ah… some trouble with nginix log?

None of these are errors, just ignore them.
As written 100x in this thread already.

I know very well that these are not errors… but it is frustrating that such a new device… if I want to check my logs… I would like to see the real errors of the device… something that other devices with the same hardware do not have. …

If they are not errors, they can be treated or removed from the interface!

That’s not how logs work.

Logs are used for knowing what’s going on. If you need to find errors, you can always filter these logs by using grep. Log noise isn’t useful, I agree with that, but it’s not really bad either.

hi, I had 4.5.7 and the pppoe doesn’t reach the speed of the operator. now with 4.5.6 arriving you have 2.5 GB.

Where do I download 4.5.7 version 4?

For debugging purposes, it’s totally valid! For a user interface, where the majority of the public will not interact or do not need this information, it only pollutes and overloads the interface!

I always put myself in the shoes of my customer who chooses me and what I recommend him to buy… How do you tell him: Write “GREP”, do you have to explain everything to him in detail? Isn’t it better to have these “mistakes” correct in the bud and also having good community support stressing out your life 24/7 is a huge plus for you!! I’ll show you my ecosystem… FLINT2 master and two client zyxel ex5601t0, why did I choose this one? Why didn’t I buy another 5601? It’s simple, for me it is more convenient and fast to manage the settings I need from your good webgui, immediately and not wait to try, installing the packages on “naked” openwrt.
