Even after this update, the limited problem with WiFi 2.4 continues.
It seems to be a chipset problem because in pure openwrt it remains the same.

It could also be a WiFi driver problem since the gl-inet firmware version and openwrt share the same driver.
Which speeds do you get via 2,4 GHz? The highest i saw was 200mbit, but most of the time around 100Mbit.
@bonefire I have a 350Mbps internet. With MT6000 I got 300Mbps on laptop with AX210 wifi 6 board. On Android I got no more than 100 or 120Mbps. On any other router, got at least 200Mbps on android.

Sure, you can say that one performs better than the other. But what I mean is that ideally youâd want to compare against a product thatâs using the exact same CPU and WiFi chips. And thereâs a list of them here.
If a product with the same chip is also experiencing slow 2.4GHz WiFi then the issue is likely within the mt76 driver. Although maybe @JerryZhao or one of the other devs are already aware of the issue and theyâre looking for a fix?
By the way, to enable WED on an OpenWrt snapshot you should open /etc/modules.conf, append options mt7915e wed_enable=Y and then reboot the router.

The problem appears on both the MT6000 and MT3000 with version 4.5.0, is it known? Or is it related to something in the firmware?
and another person above mentioned that his bananapi, which has the same processor as the mt6000, has the SAME WiFi PROBLEMS on 2.4 on old devices and Android
So there is no justification for thinking that the USER is wrong in reporting this, it doesnât make any sense to think that way if facts have already been presented.

Nobody is saying that users are wrong for reporting the issue. Like Iâve said myself that I see slow speeds on 2 devices. But the devs likely need a lot more information than â2.4GHz is slowâ and you can provide that information by telling them what youâre comparing the GL-MT6000 against, giving them iperf results from the clients and output from the router by using commands such as iwinfo, iwinfo wlan0 freqlist, iwinfo wlan0 assoclist, iw phy0 info, iw reg get and iw dev wlan0 station dump.
Itâd be nice if one of the devs could comment on the issue, since none of them have acknowledged the problem.

unfortunately none of the devs commented anything about it, when I was having problems I sent the log to one of the devs so he could check

thoose experimenting with openwrt and stock firmware. Has anybody checked hardware offloading iperformance of stock vs openwrt( possibly not yet have hw offload ability)?
The pure version of openwrt has hardware acceleration, yes, I tested it and it works normally

The slow 2.4 problem on Android and older devices is related to version 23.05 of openwrt, it is not related to gl.inet
I have old cctv with WiFi 2.4ghz and speed is okay. Old devices should enough speed up to 100mbps.
New generation devices start WiFi 5 until WiFi 6e should be enough speed up to 1gbps.
Local area network WiFi enough speed? Of course yes except transfer files 
The most important question is why is internet speed slow? Do you download files all day long?
slow in the sense of passing 300mb on my PC with ax200 card on 2.4ghz wifi at 40hz and 100mb on my s21 plus, thatâs the point, understand?
That good speed scenario. On your phone support WiFi 5ghz.
I got my MT6000 yesterday and I also noticed this 2.4ghz slowdown on my android phone although I cannot really pin point if it is the same problem with the reported cases.
- Speedtest by Ookla using the same server.
- I also manually set the channel to 13 since its the only channel with the lowest utilization at 5% (based on WiFi Man)
- MT6000 4.5.4 beta firmware
- I tried both 20/40, 20, and 40Mhz
Realme 6, no AX support, PHY speed 72mbps
- Max average download: 5mbps
- Max average upload: 30mbps
Windows PC with Intel AX210 with 287 PHY speed
- Max av download: 200mbps
- Max av upload: 80mbps
I know that theres a significant difference between my PC and Mobile PHY speed but my phone can reach its max 2.4ghz speed on other wifi routers. Never had problems with 5Ghz tho.
Iâve started to setup my Flint2. Modified the Adguard home settings file via SSH to allow updates.
One thing Iâm considering using is a USB 3 drive. However, Iâd like to configure the Flint2 to spin down the disk when idle for X amount of minutes. Can this be done without going through the CLI?
So far Iâve found the WiFI range for my security has improved and the WiFI speed rocks when copying over SMB from my Pi4.
No crashes yet.
Yes, we are aware of this issue and are looking at how it can be reproduced so that it can be fixed.

No. You will need to use SSH or luci.

Appear new firmware version 4.5.4
Do we need to update now or wait a couple of days?

It depends on who youâre going to ask.
Normally, I would wait like 1 week or so - but if you feel lucky, just install it.
