I have between 1-5 clients on 5GHz and permanent IoT low bandwith 5 clients on 2.4Ghz.
Observation 1: memory consumption grows at night when there is less traffic on WiFi.
Observation 2: Coverage on 5GHz is excellent compared to Archer C7. So much so that I got rid of one AP. Must be all those extra antennae.
Is hardware flow offloading supported on ipq807x? Here's what I get when restarting firewall:
root@router:~# /etc/init.d/firewall restart
Hardware flow offloading unavailable, falling back to software offloading
No, there is no HW offloading
Does the router supports a speed of 615Mbps without HW offloading?
When upgrading from @robimarko 's early December image to openwrt snapshot: what are the equivalent commands of
nvram get flag_boot_rootfs
nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=1
nvram set flag_last_success=1
nvram commit
At least in my case, the nvram command is not present, and I believe one has to use the uci command, but what is the correct syntax?
Thanks.
on openwrt there are fw_printenv/fw_setenv:
fw_printenv flag_boot_rootfs
fw_setenv flag_boot_rootfs 1
fw_setenv flag_last_success 1
Special for the AX3600 are
fw_printsys
fw_setsys
which can manipulate the data in the BData Partition (e.g. ssh_en=1). Use with caution!
Yes, 615Mbps is not a problem. If you are using wireguard and need high speed you may want to look at NSS build:
I have two AX3600 routers connected (LAN port of main router connected to LAN port of secondary router). Wireless speed is super slow in terms of upload.. Download is 300+ Mbps whereas upload is just 20-30 Mbps. This is super strange. I have tried changing different channels (149/100/52) in 802.11ax. my clients are also WiFi 6. software offloading is enabled. any pointers?
Where are you uploading? Most cable internet connections are asymmetrical, with upload speed around 20Mbps.
A device connected to the same secondary router over wired gets 800M Download & 900M+ Upload. So has nothing to do with ISP. Clearly something up with the wireless drivers.
tests are just via fast.com & speedtest. all to the servers in same geo.
looks like the problem is more isolated towards ax / wifi 6. wifi 5 upload speed looks decent. tried from multiple ax devices. upload speed sucks
UpdatE: ok.. speed improved when i went near to the router.. but wifi 6 and macbook pro (m1 pro) clearly has issues. still slow.
Hi,
my AX3600 is not coming up after luci sysupgrade from robi "SNAPSHOT r0-71addb3" to openwrt official snapshot "Tue Jan 24 10:37:08 2023" 
I have two AX3600. Both have gone through recent repartitioning 2->1 and config versions 1->1.1->2. No big issues.
What I did now with one device:
-> no ping response via lan for ~20min
-> no ping response via lan to 192.168.1.1 (should work on config loss, my network is 192.168.1.0/24)
-> lan devices attached to the dumb ap are also not reachable
-> wlan devices within reach of the other ax3600 have moved, others are not reachable
I guess this is not expected?
So far I only checked sha256sum is correct. Sensible next steps?
Just in case: I have a linux server to run tftp and I have a usb2serial adapter for 1.8V (never needed/used it though)
iperf tests makes it look even more pathetic

i get 200/45 (my max isp speed)
How can I rollback to the stock firmware?
See my old iperf3 tests speed here:
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/adding-openwrt-support-for-xiaomi-ax3600-part-1/55049/7036
Thanks for sharing. This looks to be an issue between this router AX3600 running OpenWRT set to 802.11ax/WiFi 6 - 80 Mhz (tried 149/100/52) and Macbook Pro (M1 Pro Apple Silicon chip) wherein upload is severely capped. Other WiFi 6 devices don't have this issue. I didn't have this issue on the stock firmware
Can someone confirm if this is the right step to rollback to stock / factory default xiaomi firmware?
UPDATE: need TFTP Recovery to rollback. Below steps will not work as there is only one mtd partition after flashing openwrt snapshot
root@m:~# fw_printenv flag_boot_rootfs
flag_boot_rootfs=0
Then run the following
fw_setenv flag_last_success 1
fw_setenv flag_boot_rootfs 1
reboot
To go back to Openwrt again
nvram get flag_boot_rootfs
if result is 1 and openwrt has already been flashed in the other partition then
nvram set flag_last_success = 0
nvram set flag_boot_rootfs = 0
nvram commit
reboot
Frequent WAN disconnects (WRT3200ACM) see this for reference. My confidence is growing that it’s not MT76 related. Try a 160MHz channel if you can. Seems to be an odd workaround.
