Hi, I have just upgraded from 18.06.6 with whole new config files. I have not been able to get 5 GHz back to work. Seems as if Wifi is broken:
LuCi: Network > Wireless
Qualcomm Atheros QCA9880 802.11nac
*Device is not active*
I have noticed that on 18.06.6 the following firmware was installed:
19.07.0 comes with:
Any ideas what I could check and try to get the device back working?
Thanks for any help!
Call logread and see if has anything to say about ath10k.
I have just checked:

Is it safe to remove kmod-ath10k-ct and try kmod-ath10k? I am not quite sure, if I lose the connection to the router with LAN cable after removing kmod-ath10-ct??

Ath10k only handles your wireless. You need to remove the CT variant before you can install the non-CT one.
From rc2 it looks like the hostapd 2.9 upgrade was the culprit for some of this.
At least with country codes that aren't driver default. The very latest ath10k firmware or going back to hostapd 2.7 may work around the issue until 19.07.01. or going back to 19.07rc1 which had hostapd 2.7
Hi Dana, you were right! I have just changed the country code for the 5 GHz wireless device back to "driver default" and performed a reboot. Afterwards the device is back online!! I'll stick to default for now.
I also have the same problem with Archer C7 v2. 5GHz, especially when devices are connected as 802.11ac, the speed is slow. Reverted back to 19.07 RC1 and speed is back to normal. Thanks for the information dana44.
