Router Keenetic KN-1613, OpenWrt 23.05.4
Hello, I have some troubles with WiFi. On stock firmware (KeeneticOS) wifi worked fine. Now that I installed OpenWrt 2.4 GHz channel speed won't go above 40-50 mbps, and 5 GHz channel not working at all.

Make sure you set your country code for both radios (currently it appears that it is not set).
Try using manual channel selection -- channel 36 on 5G might be a good start.
I set country codes and channel 36 for 5G, but still 2.4G capped at 50 mbps and 5G not working at all.
I got this log when restarting radio1
