I'm using 23.05.5 but my wifi range got decreased specially 5G one and I'm also getting less upload speed than original tp link firmware. It's around 40-50mbps where as my isp offers upto 1gbps. Earlier i used to get 300 mbps.
Can anyone help to fix these things?
TIA
OEM fw uses hardware offload drivers that are not open sourced. You can approximate them choosing offload levels in network/firewall tab.

Check if it helps
Set crll density to 1 normal or 0 disabled
It was disabled before but same result. I just set this today

higjlighted all wrongs, 2ghz band *s connected 50/50 lan or wan, not both. Where 5ghz does not reach you get badly broken net.
BD has only 120MHz 5ghz band allowed. 40MHz at least gives some breathing space.
ath79, like your router, is good for 150-180 MBit/s routing throughout, that's the end of the line. Software flow-offloading can extend (cheat) that to ~300-350 MBit/s.
For 1 GBit/s, you need different -much newer- hardware and even today not all devices will go the whole nine yards at 1 GBit/s.
You can get 1.1gbps iif ath79 has 2 SerDes (ie eth1) and you disable vlan tags, with one eth0 you can disable wan tagging and get 600-700mbps with offload obviously. But with so much config creativity i doubt it could materialize. In addition to handbrake for engine some wheels are square too...
My performance estimates may be slightly on the pessimistic range, but consistently so between all targets - and the values are dependable real-life ones, not hand-picked setups (and never involving cheats like flow-offloading, NSS, et al). Around 180 MBit/s (for the newer 720/ 750 MHz SOCs) is the absolute maximum I would trust ath79 to do, based on my decade long usage of the 560 MHz ar9344, anything beyond that is mostly good luck to fool the benchmark.
Cpu is so power-lacking that running "top" costs 50Mbps
I measured on c7v2 and v5, unlikely i tricked waveform and netflix both at once. Indeed proportionate down for old slow cpus.
I just subtly described lack if vlan de/encoding in eth driver that can be at least partislly worked around.
1.1gbps is half of "gigabit ethernet" but all benchmarks will pass it for gigabit....
I'm confused what to do?
Now both 2.4 N 5 are connected to lan and wan
With force 40mhz channel
With cellphone density normal is it what you asked to do?
Read the post again and then some. Wifi can connect to ONE bridge not two.
Red means delete green means add
What is t
option hidden '1' ? I can't find this option
Red have to be in default value?
You posted /etc/config/wireless which is quite wrong.
