Hello, i’m trying to set speed limit, but on three dot button i can edit only device type and name…! any idea?

Clients - GL.iNet Router Docs 4.
You need to disable hardware acceleration: Hardware Acceleration - GL.iNet Router Docs 4
Tbh I would not recommend it, but that would be the way to go.

2.4 GHz network performance, N mode, in stable version (v4.5.8 - do dia 12/04) is very poor.
Smartphone: Motorola Edge 30 Neo (not compatible with WiFi 6)
2.4 & 5 Ghz Channel Analysis doesn’t work with 4.5.7 firmware, and doesn’t work with 4.5.8.

As I reported here Flint 2 FW 4.5.8 release 4 - #22 by Merciful
Power on 5ghz tops out at 20dbm in regulatory area where it should be 23dbm (UK). Changing it to another similar regulatory area results in the same limit. 2.4ghz band already set as UK as well.
Edited to add - with 4.5.8 stable firmware.
Also as above channel analysis is non-functional.
SQM seems to work better with the current drivers in 4.5.8 rel 4 compared to 4.5.6 (open source) at least on my experience. I almost cannot use the SQM in 4.5.6 since I can only see latency changes if the speed was set to around 80-50mbps in download. However, 4.5.8 already shows decent latency improvement by just reducing 15% of my download speed. However, I am not 100% sure that the improvement was indeed caused by the proprietary drivers but my setup is pretty much the same when I was still driving 4.5.6. (Modem RM520N-GL with M.2 to 2.5Gb ETH board connected to Flint 2 via ETH WAN)
I can get the same results with OpenWRT on kernel 6.1 and kernel 6.6.
Additionally, it appears there has been an update that changes the way packages are targeted in the latest OpenWRT snapshot, which should bring improvements to SQM: git.openwrt.org Git - openwrt/openwrt.git/commit
Another important piece of information is that support for kernel 5.15, the same one used in GL.inet firmwares, is being abandoned and continuing to use it could cause security problems in the long term: pistachio: remove 5.15 support · openwrt/openwrt@12137cb · GitHub

Im still waiting for their Openwrt 23 release so I dont really have a choice right now. I don’t want to also abandon the GL inet GUI since Im using some of their features thats not present / too complex to setup, on vanilla Openwrt. Im just hoping that they will choose the best vanilla Openwrt release for their 4.5.8 counterpart.

I wish they had optimized the SMB Server since that’s something really I use, I can’t even transfer a 10GB file from Windows most of the time, it is unstable and a bit unreliable. Seems like we need to wait a long time for it
4.5.8 here, again problem with old configuration? Webgui down… I need to reset again… 
I dont know why they are even bothering with 21.xx, nothing seems to be improving and its pretty much dead everywhere else, they should just concentrate on 23.xx and newer.

I agree, completely…
As someone still on 4.5.2, is 4.5.8 the one I should finally upgrade to?
Upgraded from 4.5.6 to 4.5.8 24 hours ago and my WiFi is finally stable on both bands, but luci-app-statistics doesn’t work anymore, neither does channel scan as described above.
That looks promising, hope the @staff it’s paying attention

Since when they changed to 21.02 I got 0/0 ranking in sqm, I always put 80% of my speed, both down and up and I never had bufferbloat problems, in fact even with hw activated there is little bufferbloat.
Maybe they don’t want an extra job on their backs? in 21.02 they already have everything because mkt already sends the corrections according to the link openwrt/feeds/mtk-openwrt-feeds - Gitiles. But switching to 23.05, even if it’s 23.05.3 or 23.05-snapshot, is a waste of time and a total lack of coherence, but it’s easier for them to wait for 24.xx to be released and release a version based on it than on 23.05, as there is no nor comparisons between versions, the openwrt snapshot is light years of corrections and stability compared to 23.05

You can’t mention the staff, btw. So it’s usless to link them 
Nobody will get a notification about it.
