GL-MT6000 poor wifi coverage

It’d be good if a few of us could do this simple test.

  1. Set the correct country code for both radios so that you’re using the legal power limits
  2. Install an app like WiFiAnalyzer or WiFiman on your phone
  3. Go outside and walk away from your home a little
  4. Check if 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz has the stronger signal

For me 5 GHz always has the stronger signal, which shouldn’t really be the case since 2.4 GHz is supposed to easily pass through walls and other obstacles.

So is it a firmware issue or a hardware design issue? Hopefully it’s not the latter and things can be improved without certification being an issue.
