Yes, of course.

You have no need to touch the bootloader. You can just leave the OEM bootloader there...

Just flash the OpenWrt sysupgrade image from the OEM gui.

Has anyone been able to get IPTV working using UDP Multicast? I'm really struggling to solve this. I have igmpproxy installed and configured correctly (I think), but no luck. Thanks!

Different service provider likely have different multicast setup, so it’ll be hard to generally say that it works. It’ll help if you provide the service provider you’re using. Maybe those using the same service provider that knows the quirks around the multicast setup will be able to help.

Thanks. I've literally just got it sorted after several days :blush::+1:

on 80mhz, the wifi is working, but it is like the wrt3200acm the 160mhz is not working, that is why it is the max wifi 6 5ghz is max outs in about 900mbits, does any know which is is supposed to have a correct driver to work on 160mhz to increase the bandiwdth?

Below client has left the house, but the MT6000 still sees/tracks it with a -92/-92 RSSI, ugh

Using OpenWrt SNAPSHOT, r28242, with

mt798x-wmac 18000000.wifi: WM Firmware Version: ____000000, Build Time: 20240823160721
mt798x-wmac 18000000.wifi: WA Firmware Version: DEV_000000, Build Time: 20240823160840

Stressing roamings with DAWN and or disconnects by walking of bounds seem to trigger that odd condition.

Sorry, but the mt6000 wifi is miles away of wrt3200acm. Please, recheck your devices, as im perfectly reaching 990/990 on 80Mhz and 1.4-1.7Gb on 160 mhz

i have been set defaults, what configuration did you did? for me it is not working on 160mhz and many same issue. and even openwrt is set to 80mhz as default, i am sure there is an issue on 160mhz.

Comparing mwlwifi to mt76 is... something :laughing:

ok, i set it up, i get 1.5-1.6gbits, this router is awesome.

do you guys, how many clients this router can use at this bandwidth? 1.6gbits is awesome.

I see this behavior too with my MT6000, tho. only sometimes with my Mac when I shut it down, even after I turned off the power switch.

As a 4x4 device it'll handle "lots" of clients (STAs). You can see from running "iw list" this device supports Airtime Fairness and AQL in mt76 driver. These specifically help performance with larger number of devices. Whether AF works in the open source driver I'm not sure, LuCI also is not exposing that and not sure how to toggle it to run tests. I can say AQL works well and you can lower the limits to reduce latency, much more important that than much throughput for wifi I'd argue.

So can't really say how many without someone having 20-100 devices laying around to try.

Is it worth flashing to OpenWRT 24? The MT6000 GUI is actually ok however, the OpenWRT firmware is a bit dated. Just need to ensure things like AdGuard and the VPN services work with the upgrade. Is there anything else to be gained? Thanks!

With OpenWRT you'll have a way longer maintenance life and a way better support from other users.

Yeah, if the OpenWRT stock firmware wasn't so dated then I'd probably keep it,but i's well over a year old I think. Would like to try adding beam sterring too as I'm getting some issues with WiFi from upstairs. Complete randome slowdowns and I've no idea what's causing it, so this may help :slight_smile:

Ok, so there is an active bug report about this... That also explains slow speeds after some time in my situation.

NOTE: This happens to both radios, 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.

do you guys know what settings you use for wireguard speed fast? they said 900mb, but, on my 5g snapdragon 3 phone runs the wifi is bandwidth 800mb, and the wireguard is a joke, 10-20 mbit, is there something that i could tune.

On laptop:

On Flint 2 connected via wireguard:

The speed using phone Wifi 6 ghz:

This is a joke, like the 3200acm wifi, now the wifi is awesome, but wireguard sucks.

Hello , I’m on gl firmware,
And here what I have inside my lan connected with WireGuard vpn :
