Extremely bad performance with Linksys AE6000

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

I am using openwrt 24.10 on Rasbperry Pi 4 .I connected my Linksys AE6000 and installed kmod-mt76x0u. The wifi card is detected as Linksys AE6000 802.11ac/b/g/n but it is working terribly and I don't know why. When using in AP mode, I barely managed to have it run with this settings and no encryption because if i enable encryption the signal disappears. As you see in the picture, it runs with Bitrate:86.7 Mbit/s and no encryption in AP mode.

.

for further testing, I also tried to use it in client mode to conenct to my Xiaomi 4a router and it just fails after briefly trying to conenct to it but not getting an IP from it. I have verified that my Xiaomi 4a router is working as it should and no other device has any problems with it. I also connected my Linksys AE6000 to a Windows 11 PC and connected to my Xiaomi 4a router without any issues. My only guess is that the driver kmod-mt76x0u should cause my issues.

My only guess is you need more power, to make it run on the Pi, try a powered hub.

Set country code? 13dbm might be all usb client adapter can do though.
why are you using sub-par 20mhz channel?

I had one, not "more power" but "does not work in usb3 port at all"

Tnx for your input eveyone . i switched channel width to 80Mhz and issues are gone.
