yes I have tried to restore the art partition backup but the mac address doesn't change
The mac address that appears is on the art partition
That is wrong,
it should be from u-boot partition 0x1fc00 then it matches the one on the sticker
art partition doesn't have mac address, but mtd-cal-data use mac in uboot to calibrate macaddr for wifi.
how do you restore art part ? try revert to stock firmware to see macaddr showing correct or not ?
yes, i get 30dm txpower, and no problem on wireless performance.
i don't have uboot stock but i still have fulldump original tplink firmware
use this method to get uboot from rom dump
use this code to cut the mac part from original uboot and merge this with custom uboot.
root@DD-WRT:/tmp# dd if=uboot_factory.bin of=uboot_rest.bin bs=1 skip=$(wc -c < uboot_for_tp-link_tl-mr3020.bin)
5120+0 records in
5120+0 records out
root@DD-WRT:/tmp# cat uboot_for_tp-link_tl-mr3020.bin uboot_rest.bin > uboot_new.bin
what are you using now? breedboot or uboot?
i use breed,

0x1fc00 : MAC address

is there something wrong with u-boot?
Hmm. Everything is ok in hexdump of uboot.
except last 2 pair of mac address are in reverse mode in my uboot hexdump.
for example
001fc00 08ec 896b bde0
looks like the dts file doesn't point the mac address to block 0x1fc00 but another location or maybe my spi chip is corrupt.
little of what I understand from this thread
I have tried several times to change
this section
label-mac-device
and
mtd-cal-data
but none of them work, to display the mac address correctly
my last solution at this time is to write the wireless mac address manually on the art partition and ignore this log it keeps showing
ag71xx 19000000.eth: invalid MAC address, using random address
ag71xx 19000000.eth: Could not connect to PHY device. Deferring probe.
ag71xx 1a000000.eth: invalid MAC address, using
because I don't know where it's going.
check breedboot log or uboot log to know the root cause of invalid mac address. when i use pepe2k wdr4300-v1 uboot mod, i faced invalid mac .. But with pepe2k wdr3500 uboot mod mac address works without any problem
@si_GILA a long time before from googling , i find, if you want to use breedboot you need to set to mac by using breed advance settings, also u need build openwrt by point out the memory location of mac from breedboot.
thanks,
you are right after I replaced it with pepe2k u-boot the mac address reads correctly

Sorry, but I'm confused, which of the firmwares is working fine? What was posted by humanOS or si_GILA?
Both firmware are working fine. @si_GILA build is for 16mb flash modification. It is good news that the device is added in openwrt master. You can use official snapshot build from openwrt.
