I changed one of my SPNMX56CF units back to the latest OpenWRT build again and was trying various country codes to see if it made any difference with WiFi speeds. The best I could get with 160Mhz Auto selected was around 350Mb. Changing the code takes maybe 15-20 minutes before the WiFi is back online which I think is due to DFS. This is absolutey way more than good enough for most situations, but I'm sure we can get more speed. Under Associated Stations, my device speed shows 2401.9 Mbit/s, 160 MHz, HE-MCS 11, HE-NSS 2
DFS radar detection should take a minute only, definitely not between 15-20 minutes.. is the device connected by ethernet or through mesh/wds?
It's connected to one of the ethernet LAN ports. DHCP is disabled as it's provided by my main router. If I change down to 80Mhz or below, the connection is a lot quicker. I just tried another test network using 160Mhz on an SSID that doesn't currently exist and you are correct, it only took a few minutes this time. Maybe there was some delay as I was trying to use an existing SSID which I use on my home network. Not really sure, but at least it works!
Hello, do you know if there is any update about openwrt for the redmi ax5400? I'm completely new to the subject and I ended up here after my cs2 was rubbish, and I really wanted to test SQM on the router to see if I could find something better.
Ah, sorry, what I mean is I changed those settings and got the 900 ≈ on the wired and the 548 on wifi ? I have completely broken my "proper" router trying to get it to play nice with this AP (which was what i was using it for) so let me first fix that (VLAN hell) and just start again. But essentially, I didn't /actually/ change anything bar what I said I did before. I was just trying different devices / positions etc to see if it was the hardware/image limiting the speed or if it was something more mundane. And considering it was an AP getting 548, I think your 392 is maybe in the mundane category hahaha. And I used UK btw
Hi @Ansuel, I’m hitting the bug you described in this PR as well on the Linksys SPNMX56, with 2 MACs having the same MAC address, one connected to a qca8337 switch for lan ports and the other to a qca8081 PHY as the wan port. I also see kernel messages complaining about not being able to delete entries in the fdb table. Question: is it ‘acceptable practice’ to just increment the MAC address of one MAC and deviate from stock (in stock they’re the same). Also, wifi MAC addresses are mac + 1 and mac + 2 just like stock. Do I increment by + 3 for the wan port?
OK Interesting then.
I just repeated (again double dnat behind main firewall)
Not too bad
However my iperf reading on the same subset are not so good.

Is this over WiFi or ethernet? I get roughly those speeds over ethernet, but I can't seem to get beyond 350Mb on WiF on any of my 3 SPNMX56CF routers with OpenWRT.
yes, LAN <> WAN at present behind main router.
I want to do some more testing as I see similar results to you with a 300mbit limit.
FYI I run mx4200v2 as my main ap using qosmio nss build and dont see much better on those so I do want to look into why.
Thanks. It would be great to find a solution to this so that I can dump the stock firmware completely.
I run them as a dumb AP with settings a specified above and am easily getting >600 mbps on wifi. What config are you running? (Router with FW/NAT enabled / dumb AP / something else?)
I have Routing/NAT hardware offloading enabled and packet steering enabled. The only other thing I have touched is just adding SSIDs as Access Point. The network I am on currently is 5Ghz only with 160Mhz set to Auto and UK region selected. Am I missing something else? Thanks!
Sorry - just coming to this thread a little late (really admire your determination and progress).
Just had Toob fibre installed and got their 'free' router (SPNMX56). Also bought a couple of CF equivalents.
Was reading through this entire thread, saw the files but before I could grab them they have gone.
Is there another link available, and would it be possible to just use fwupdate.html to upload (not sure which image) directly to the router?
@georgem83 has the firmware been removed because of an issue or is it somewhere else? Thanks
@msatt I have the image for SPNMX56CF, but I'm a bit concerned about sharing it if it has been pulled for some reason. Would be good to get some clarification. Any ideas @georgem83 @wolf359 ?
Thanks @routermuffin I am in no mad rush and as you say it would be better to have a confirmed working version.
I have both the TB and CF versions of the SPNMX56 so would the same firmware work in both?
I believe it does, yes. Just so long as you use the SPNMX56 firmware. Best to wait on confimation though. Even the stock firmware is more use than a bricked unit
yes, firmware works on both variations of the spnmx56.
Not sure if George pulled the filebin link or it expired.
The github link for the project is still live so nothing stopping anyone building a fresh image https://github.com/georgemoussalem/openwrt/tree/main-ipq50xx-kernel6.6
These are the ones I pulled and built on 24th Jan and have been using (albeit with slightly different options / packages)
@wolf359 Thank you for making the images available.
So can I just use the firmware update and flash the image to the linksys and if so which image ?
linksys -> openwrt = squashfs-factory
openwrt -> openwrt = squashfs-sysupgrade
initramfs is used for booting via ram and not touching nand but requires serial connection to setup and opening which mnost people arent doing as its a faff !
(the rob_nano_2 bit is due to me getting the config to build myself wrong a few times so was manually renaming each time !)
