Lets call it 7.4.2.1
Opened the box again, and installed it.
Just that little convenient test stream: https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat
A very quick test learns ...
- TX power is OK now (-30dBm received on short distance). TXPower setting in GUI is responsive.
- 40MHz bandwidth is correct (but his might come from my earlier LUCI settings)
- no scan/connection to DFS channels
- AMPDU still breaks. This is not a wifi 802.11 n or ac device. It cannot handle that mode, as those wifi modes have up to 64 MPDU in one A-MPDU transmission.
Log claims MSDU not MPDU (typo ?)

Back in the box, this is not a good travel router for now, with that wifi driver. (only 31 MPDU are accepted, hopefully there is at least retransmit of the rest of the A-MPDU?)
Maybe I'll do some more tests, like with previous versions (eg country code), and see how bad the performance drops while using repeater. It may be sub-optimal but repeating the missed part of an A-MPDU might eventually give enough performance for a travelrouter. Have to find the config file with the "ampdu_max_cnt" configuration in this version. SFT1200 2.4 GHz Repeater Disconnects - #61 by bpwl1
