DIR-878 5GHz Wifi not detected

80Mhz is good
now test it

trying with this config, still no luck

the BSSID has not changed :frowning: maybe reboot
it should show the MAC address you put in

gotcha, imma try that

and still bssid not changed, do i need to change they manually?

As my TENBAY for incorrect WIFI MAC Address solution is in 10_fix_wifi_mac file

i'm testing that here & it's not taking the new address for me ether

wait nevermind im dumb, cannot change BSSID manually

very strange

yes the DTS needs updating https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/master/target/linux/ramips/dts/mt7621_dlink_dir-878-a1.dts
to have

&wifi0 {
	nvmem-cells = <&macaddr_factory_e000>;
	nvmem-cell-names = "mac-address";
	mac-address-increment = <1>;
};

&wifi1 {
	nvmem-cells = <&macaddr_factory_e000>;
	nvmem-cell-names = "mac-address";
	mac-address-increment = <2>;
};

like https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/master/target/linux/ramips/dts/mt7621_dlink_dir-1960-a1.dts

soooo what do i do now

I'm trying to find a way to chnage it atm
but not getting anywhere

do you know how to use SSH putty and comand line ?

yes i do have a little knowledge about linux & the terminal

need to add

	option macaddr '78:FF:FF:FF:FF:56'

to 'default_radio0' & 'default_radio1'
in wireless config file

gotcha is it on the /etc/config/wireless?

under SSH command line

uci set wireless.default_radio0.macaddr=78:32:EE:EE:EF:56
uci set wireless.default_radio1.macaddr=78:32:EE:EE:EF:57
uci commit wireless

should work

kk imma try that

okay its done now it should work? or do i need a reboot

reboot is easyer & a better test
but "wifi" may work as well
