With 3x3 or 4x4 clients, right?
I have 900-950mbps on mt7981 with 2x2 AX@160 clients

No, between two laptops with AX200s, which are 2x2, but connected to an AC AP with dual 5GHz radios.
This is a lot more promising, thanks.
Should not be possible. AC 2x2 160Mhz -> 1733 link speed
1733 * 0.8 * 0.5 ~ 700mbps between two wifi clients.
If it is dual 5 Ghz radios (as they said) and you connect one laptop to each it could work. That seems like a very niche setup though, and I don't know why you would even need to transfer at that sped between two laptops regularly.
My understanding is that dual 5 Ghz radios is mostly intended for mesh (using one network for mesh backbone, and one for clients).
Also, I believe clients can talk directly to each other on the same WiFi, foregoing the middle step of the AP (unless you enable client isolation)?
Its device to router. As I said, router is pretty far (also with 1 concrete wall in the way) and I think that my pc has low tx power. I cant do device to device because only my pc has high bandwidth wifi adapter
this happened again on rc5. after increasing the System log buffer size to 512kb, and restarting the wan interface, I can see that adguardhome was being killed by OOM. upon restarting the service, it was killed again by oom. so I edited the config file to only include one filter and it works fine now. still not sure what caused the wan interface to stop working.
Not sure what your Adguard Home setup is (local, Docker, etc.), but for me the latest stable version v0.107.56 running in Docker has been crashing all my devices (Pi Zero and Zero 2) presumably due to OOM, so I had roll back to v0.107.55. I'm very skeptical of running it on a router for that reason.
Whivh version of rpi zero you are using?
I am running whatever was included in rc5, it turns out this is 0.107.53-r1 and I set it up using the openwrt guide, with adgh running on port 53 and Dnsmasq on port 54 etc.
I will keep an eye on it to see for problems, so far it has been running ok since my last post.
Zero 2 with armv8 Debian 12 and Zero with armhf one. Both connected over an Ethernet gadget to their respective OpenWrt routers. And both running Adguard Home in Docker.
Anybody? Any ideas?
just noticed on MT website for the 830 that it has
MediaTek Wi-Fi Offload Engine, MAP-E & MAP-T IPv4/IPv6 accelerator
very interesting the MAP accelerator. Do anyone know if this acceleration work with owrt and the map package? (or how to find out..)
thanks
I think the custom build @pesa1234 is working on in MT6000 custom build with LuCi and some optimization - kernel 6.6.x has some of those enabled.
Caveat: I haven't tried it myself, and I don't know exactly which features are enabled. I also don't know what specific marketing name corresponds with what type of offload.

nope, the code is only for 5.4 kernel with proprietary wifi drivers
are wifi drivers covering also ethernet functionalities?
i was curious much more for map offload than for wifi offload..
Is anyone connecting a USB 3 HDD to their MT6000 and is there any 2.4 GHz interference?
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/usb3.0-wifi-issues
This usually happens with zigbee devices.
The very nature of USB3 is that it operates on very similar frequencies as your 2.4 GHz radio, that part is an unfixable part of the standard. How much this ends up being a problem depends on three aspects:
- how well is the router shielded against it
- distance between USB port and antennas - and how the feedlines are routed between PCB and antennas plays a role here as well, so it might even differ between identical devices of the same model range (depending on how the pigtail happens to curl over the board)
- how well the used USB3 cable is shielded
- cable and connectors, a worn connector can already cause trouble here
- how well the USB disk is shielded
- and how far you've placed it from the router
As you see, there is little generic answer answer to this - it may work out for you, or it may not - depending on many individual factors. Even if you get an all-clear from some users, that doesn't necessarily mean that it will be fine for you.
This is one contributing factor why USB ports are becoming less common on modern routers, others are the raising power requirements (if there is a USB port, users might expect to use it for charging and powering all kinds of devices - with voltages/ currents far exceeding the needs of the router itself (there are USB powered soldering irons with ~100 watts)) and driver support on the router side (things are no longer just printers or USB (flash-) sticks).

Sorry for the late reply. There are a few other networks in range, but never more than 5 or so. If it was due to congestion, this also would've happened on my old snapshot-based image.

I just ordered one and, updated to the latest firmware and found in the advanced settings it comes running:
|Hostname|GL-MT6000|
|Model|GL.iNet GL-MT6000|
|Architecture|ARMv8 Processor rev 4|
|Target Platform|mediatek/mt7986|
|Firmware Version|OpenWrt 21.02-SNAPSHOT r15812+1082-46b6ee7ffc / LuCI openwrt-21.02 branch git-22.335.71649-0ecaf74|
To be fair the router works perfectly. But could my connections be even better if I were on 24.10? The only release note of interest is vague "Improved support for WiFi6 (802.11ax)". Would things be more reliable?
If I upgrade I need to go to 22.03, then 23.05, and then finally 24.10?
