Feedback - Xiaomi 4A Gigabit router switch patches - PLEASE CLOSE THREAD!

[db260179]

Hi Xiaomi 4A Gigabit owners,

I've done a few patches related to the mt7530 switch.

Some users have reported interface going up and down

https://gitlab.com/db260179/xiaomi-m4a/-/commits/master - V19.07 snapshot branch

• Enabled back the flow control on port 5

• Disabled EEE function - possible fix on interface up/down issue - this needs feedback!

Could i ask for testers over a period of a few days test, who have experienced this issue and feedback on this thread!

Thanks

Hi, I am planning to buy this router. Does this support Mesh Mode?

[chris_joki]

Be careful - Xiaomi is selling 4As without proper metal shielding. I just received mine today in Germany sold by mi.com. Going right back to Xiaomi.

Top one is mine, bottom from openwrt TOH page.

Yeah i just ordered one over the german mi shop, too
It is missing the shielding as well, so it's not a fluke, it's at least a whole batch probably.

I saw a YouTube video where it was mentioned that this router has Mesh support. I have flashed my Mi 4C with OpenWRT and it has Mesh support so pretty confident 4A will also have Mesh.

I appreciate you guys want to talk about this router, but this thread is not for that discussion.

Please start a new thread in the general topic area.

Thanks

Possible to check for the shielding without opening the device?

[Juber]

Yes, it is possible to see that the shields are missing when the case is closed, because the back consists of many small ventilation holes.

I also got my device from mi.com in Germany in March. Manufactured 2021 week 19.
Flash chip from GigaDevice.
