Hi @shakin89.
It is not necessary upload board-2.bin, it is already included.

- I do not have any 5GHz device. So i can not do any 5GHz speed test.
Hi @julianocs,
tested version 1 and 2 on an archer c6 eu version.
First of all, i've used openwrt-ath79-generic-tplink_archer-c6-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade, is it ok or do i have to use initramfs version?
This is the log output

Hi @shakin89
I don´t have this low throughput in my router (Archer C2 US).
I don´t have any other skills and/or knowledge to do more than that.
Anyway, i switched now to Openwrt 5.10 kernel to test.
It´s on my pCloud.

I am still running this version. I would like to update my device every now and then to keep my network secure. What is the adviced strategy here? Can I just pull the latest build?
[EDIT]
Problem solved, it was a Luci configuration problem. I disabled country and channels and reenabled them. The interface have been configured
I'm now testing pdcin #132 variant 3.
Which are the differences between variant 1,2,3?
Thanks in advance
[/EDIT]
Hi, i was testing @pdcin version but had some problem on the 5GhZ iface.
So installed @julianocs last version but had the same problem.
The 5GHz interface won't come up and give these error:

Now, the snapshot builds are giving stable 5ghz performance, So, i request to remove other 3 variants build from your build automation.
on which router are you triyng the builds? and which build?
on my archer c6 eu version, the router doesn't activate the 5ghz interface. on 3 routers, i have only one with working 5ghz caus it has an old build.
the latest build don't activate the luci interface saying the config isn't valid.
have restarted rpc but without success.
use snapshot build, set 5ghz wifi country to US, save & apply. then set channel to 149 and see the magic. only snapshot build is stable in 5ghz.
thanks for the tips, but having 3 router i cannot set them all on ch 149...
does it work only on ch 149?
yeah, 149 and upper channel is working, for every router set your channel width to 20mhz
thank you very much, i will try immediately.
Can i take the latest build from pdinc-oss site?
or do you use the official snapshot build?
hey can you post your snapshot build if possible, I haven't spent enough time to figure out how to do it, so getting a build with LuCi would be amazing. btw this is for the c6 us version right?
thank you, I'll try it now.
@humanOS thanks for your tips. On my archer c6 v2 eu version I've Installed build #156 of april 26 (Powered by LuCI Master (git-21.112.13639-7d61b38 / OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r0+16582-3326b5e75c) from @pdinc-oss builds.
I've set 5ghz network on channels more than 149. 20-40-80 MHz bandwith is ok for all. Country US. i will test transfer speed, but is working correctly for now.

5ghz range is cut by half for me when using the snapshot build, tested for a few hours before going back to version 1 which gives me max speed and range.
