Github issue 633 - mt76 TX power not working in multiple chipsets (mt7610, mt7613, mt7615, mt7603)

Hi,

I tried to send a comment to the Github issue https://github.com/openwrt/mt76/issues/633 many times but it disappears once I log out and the comment is gone. In response to

[MasterPIC]

According to 23.05.5 release notes (specifically 56a84b3 mac80211: Fix wifi throughput) wifi throughput has been improved.

Did someone test it? Any regression as for TX power?

I would like to say I checked after upgrading OpenWRT to 23.05.5 on my TL-WR902AC v3 and it doesn't seem to be fixed, the max. power I can select is only 12 dBm (15 mW) while the hardware supports up to 23 dBm.


# iwinfo phy1 txpower
   0 dBm (   1 mW)
   1 dBm (   1 mW)
   2 dBm (   1 mW)
   3 dBm (   1 mW)
   4 dBm (   2 mW)
   5 dBm (   3 mW)
   6 dBm (   3 mW)
   7 dBm (   5 mW)
   8 dBm (   6 mW)
   9 dBm (   7 mW)
  10 dBm (  10 mW)
  11 dBm (  12 mW)
  12 dBm (  15 mW)

Since I tried several times and it's impossible to post on Github I post it here in case a dev sees it or someone can take it to the Github issue. Thanks :heart:

Edit: I know there is a new version 24.10.0, I haven't upgraded yet and I'll check once I do. I've been trying to send the above to Github since I did the upgrade to 23.05.5 like 7 months ago.

Does the same issue occur with version 24.10.1?

Country setting?
