I really do enjoy GL-Inet products. I was just wondering if at some point in the future, that GL-Inet will release a dual band AC router, with an Atheros chip instead of the Mediatek used on the GL-MT750. I have several use applications for a router such as this, but unfortunately the Mediatek chips cannot work with I intend to do.
Are there any plans in the future to build a dual band AC router thats Atheros-based? I would definitely purchase this product!
For small router, same size as AR150, we have one dual-band Atheros solution. We have samples now but have difficult in the drivers for 802.11ac. Ath10k driver is not well supported by the chip because it is hw1.0.
If anyone have skills in developing the drivers, we are very happy to give free boards.
Either small or large would be fine, as long as it was Dual band and supported 802.11ac. Very happy to hear there is something in the making! I do wish I could help with drivers in any way but unfortunately that is far beyond my skill level.
For what it is worth, several of the guys I’m working with have had negative reviews of the Ath10k hardware. IBSS mode is useless and other modes are not always stable. They are convinced it is a hardware problem with the device and not a driver issue. They advise to make sure results are repeatable for any issues you’re running into and to ensure that errors are appropriate for the context the driver is acting in. Let’s hope it is really just a misunderstanding of the driver and not an actual hardware issue. I’ll ask them if they’re interested in seeing your hardware implementation if you like.
