Belkin RT3200/Linksys E8450 WiFi AX discussion

Some call it zero-wait DFS.

Does anyone have the 2.4GHz channel with 802.11n providing 800MHz bandwidth? The best I could get is 600MHz by forcing 40MHz channels. Thanks,

Sure enough. I just manually disabled my wlan1 interface, but left the radio on and now the 5G scan works fine. Turn the interface on, it's locked up again...

Yes, TurboQAM it's working but you'll need supplemental patches for max80211, mt76 and hostapd.

Thanks... I see it's non-standard. Let me find/write the patches for mac802.11 then mt76, then hostapd.

Does anyone want to try HE80P80 on this device and see if it works?
I assume it’s capable but I haven’t unboxed mine :slight_smile:

I honestly don't think it's worth the time, throughput will be pretty anaemic on 2.4ghz regardless, just due to noise, neighbouring clients and ap's, etc. The signal level required where you would switch to VHT MCS 8/9 would probably just mean your client would see and (hopefully) roam to a better performing 5ghz signal anyway. Unless you possess a large amount of VHT256 capable single-band clients...

You may most likely need the mt7615 portion mentioned in the comments too, since mt7622 shares most of it's code. Although I'm not sure why the commentor masked in 160/80+80 capability on 2.4ghz.

Thanks. I’m not even sure if anything I have supports it. Perhaps Nintendo Switch? I do like to make the software unrestrictive. Thanks again,

Finally received one of those clamps.
Attached it to JTAG pads on router:


Checked continuity from pads to dupont connectors with multimeter and checked that there are no short circuits.
Patched and compiled OpenOCD from master branch.
Connected pins to Raspberry Pi 4B like this:

*ROUTER*      *RPI*
TCK  (11)  => GPIO 11 (23 header)
TMS   (7)  => GPIO 25 (22 h)
TDI   (5)  => GPIO 10 (19 h)
TDO   (13) => GPIO 9  (21 h)
RESET (15) => GPIO 24 (18 h)
GROUND (8) => Ground (6 h)

JTAG:

RPi:

I've got rpi4.cfg:

and mt7622.cfg from here

I've tried switching RTCK with TCLK pin with changes like this:

adapter_nsrst_delay 10
adapter speed 10

and with the same output as above.

According to this RPi has internal pull-up\pull-down resistors on pins, but I don't know which pins should be configured to make connections work.

Hi OpenWrt community,

Firstly let me thank all who have contributed to support this device!

I recently got a RT3200, and managed to to get it running with an image built from source (UBI r20212-beeb49740b). Everything looks hunky-dory except for a sharp drop in Wifi uplink speeds. It drops from 816Mb/s to just 34Mb/s moving just 2m. RSSI: -65dBm.

Is there a way to fix or mitigate this issue?

Many thanks!

I noticed the exact same issue. Would like to know if there's a fix.

2 meters from the router and station->AP (one way) speed drops significantly. RX rate stuck at MCS0 and NSS1

This happens only to iphone 12. Older macbooks, iphones, ipads (802.11ac) all work fine. AX200 on a PC also works fine. Changing DFS/non-DFS channels has no effect. (Now it seems to related to Apple and AX)

Where did you get that jtag clamp? Can you pm the info?

Hi again :joy:

Am I missing something?

UPD: I made an attempt to restore from complete backup (mtd[0123] files). I flashed *recovery.itb file first via TFTP, it boots, shows LUCI interface at 192.168.1.1 and allows to login over ssh and copy backup files, but mtd3 file was too big for a /tmp dir, I think that because a kernel does not see more than 256 MB of memory, I've noticed that only later from the bootlogs above

...
DRAM:  256 MiB
...

and

My poor-man's plan was to split mtd3 file into two parts, one goes to /tmp and another to / and run cat /tmp/mtd3_part1 /mtd3_part2 | mtd write - /dev/mtd3 as it seems that mtd command supports reading from stdin.
So, recovery process logs:

Looks like it has some sort of bad block error when writing mtd1 :frowning_face:

And nothing... It allows me to make another round of JTAG-thing recovery and getting into U-Boot console with MT7622> prompt, but I don't know what do next in this situation. :worried:

Does it get better after changing to 802.11ac mode?

Yes it does.

Very nice you managed to get JTAG working!

Yes this is a bad-block in the boot area of the NAND flash :frowning_face:
I reckon the best thing you can do at this point is to replace the SPI-NAND chip with a working one (e.g. Winbond 1024Mbit).

You can also try to experiment more with this situation (it is a very rare opportunity after all!), probably you just need to skip this block while writing, ie. try using nandwrite tool instead of mtd write which offers this option.

Yep, I've tried that:

No luck?

UPD: And I'm worried about issue with 256mb DRAM. Is memory also corrupted?

I checked in ARM Trusted Firmware sources and it's a bit stupid: When a read error on SNFI interface occurs it just returns an error and doesn't skip and continue to read :slightly_frowning_face: We will have to implement that in plat/mediatek/mt7622/bl2_boot_snand.c to support this case of bad block in the middle of fip image. It's not very difficult to do, just instead of the break instruction ending the read loop we will need to increment the block number and use the continue instruction instead, so the read loop just skips the bad blocks.

Edit: It's right here: https://github.com/mtk-openwrt/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/mtksoc/plat/mediatek/mt7622/bl2_boot_snand.c#L59

You can try writing openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-preloader.bin to /dev/mtd0 and openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-bl31-uboot.fip to /dev/mtd1 using the recovery image made for the UBI variant.

If you want to return to stock firmware you will also need to use the non-UBI initramfs image (as that contains the correct MTD partition layout matching the stock firmware).

DRAM size limitation is normal as some part is reserved for use by ARM Trusted Firmware and another small bit for pstore/ramoops.

Looks like 802.11ax on mt76 it's still far from being ready for prime time

... or Apple's 802.11ax implementation is not what's written in the standard. But as they are Apple that won't matter as everyone else will have to adapt.
