Turns out it was the driver of my mt7927 ( under windows) that needed updating. I now have 1.1G dl / 1.5G up behind a wall at 320Mhz, not too bad ( with WED )
Hey @avbohemen can you lower the TX power now? In GUI it shows selected value but I think it always stays at 20 dBm in my case. Also when I power device off/on selected value stays but it says â20 dBm currentâ next to it? Am I the only one with this bug?
Tried 5 min unplugged, didnât help. I can select âmaximum transit powerâ and âcurrent powerâ shows that value, but after reboot âmaximum transit powerâ value stays and âcurrent powerâ is back to 20 dB.
@cookiemonster I donât see any difference between 1dB and 20dB in my case. Both gives full wifi signal on my phone outside of my house.
if you set 0dBm in luci, it would not work, because there is a bug.
I have done a test, but it is not objective, due I donât use the wireless from BPi-R4 device anymore, so it has been done without antennas - yes, without antennas.
cat: can't open '/sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/mt76/txpower_sku': No such file or directory in my case
UPDATE: I just tested with WiFiAnalyzer on my phone and with overlay enabled getting around -50dBm signal strength with every option from 1 to 20⌠BUT it seems like the behavior is the same with overlay disabled. Iâm getting around -68dBm with every option from 1 to 6.
I can set the tx power values without issue. In this screenshot, I set the 2.4 and 6 GHz radios to a lower value, 5GHz is set to default. Then "wifi down; wifi" to restart the interfaces. iwinfo reports the same.
