I installed OpenWrt 24.10.0-rc4 on my mt2500a. It runs, but SpeedTest is slow -- about 10% of what I see with GL.iNet's firmware. Capped around 35 mbps, whereas my connection routinely gets over 300 mbps. Any ideas?
p.s. I found this with a previous snapshot release, too -- it does not seem to be specific to this particular release.
It's working fine on OpenWrt 24.10.0-rc5
Thank you for those that are testing the MT2500. I want this router but have been waiting for it to be included in a stable OpenWrt release.
Regarding rc5 working fine but rc4 and previous releases having problems, I didn't notice any changes in the changelog that would explain the improvement.
I wonder if the problems people have been seeing here are related to the many cases of bricked/dead MT2500s reported in the GL-iNet forum, which GL-iNet think might be a hardware problem (see link below).
This happened to me but on a NanoPi R5C, now it’s a brick because it doesn’t even turn any led on, I was running the latest snapshot and it suddenly died after a few days, I didn’t even changed any settings when it happened, my MT2500 has been working fine.
