sppmaster · 2024-04-15T20:11:24.381Z

Does QAM-256 work on channels 1 and 13?

pesa1234 · 2024-04-15T20:23:24.398Z

I didn't test, but I think yes.

So, do you think that is ok?

sppmaster · 2024-04-16T22:10:47.443Z

How did you make the checkbox for Enable QAM-256 setting.
Did you edit wireless.js file?
I want to add it to my R7800 that uses QAM-256.

pesa1234 · 2024-04-16T22:39:41.331Z

Yes it needed on luci but also on hostapd and mac80211 script

So let me clear the things in my mind.
Is this already officially merged into OpenWrt? Is it only for the main branch?
I use 23.05 on my R7800 is it going to work with ath-10k and ath-10k-ct?
I still use the commits by Ansuel.
I suppose I should revert those commits that used wireless.js implemented by /files into the firmware.
Excellent work by the way! Looks really polished.

pesa1234 · 2024-04-16T23:09:38.503Z

Maybe in the future it will be applied on master

If you use that it is only necessary to revert the commit of mac80211.sh https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/12904/files#diff-536ed015e7ce65a8888a1943510ecc58d26619becbbec8a7d914e82f8d319162

the one of wireless.js

then apply the three commit suggested before

sppmaster · 2024-04-16T23:18:16.024Z

I prefer to keep this clean so I can apply your three commits. Probably I have to keep the Ansuel commits for ath-10k driver.
Is this going to boost WiFi 6 devices on 2.4.

pesa1234 · 2024-04-16T23:38:14.180Z

Yes you're right it boost, I think that the best way is to add comment on the pull request of Ansuel

sppmaster · 2024-04-16T23:44:55.245Z

I've added a long time ago.
Tested on R7800.

on 25947 seems that packet steering is not working well, on previous build i reached 2,3gbit with speeedtest but with 25947 only 1,2/1,3 . Is it fixed with this build?

pesa1234 · 2024-04-17T20:22:35.452Z

I never get this issue but let me know with this

Dixenberg · 2024-04-17T20:35:30.668Z

Same issue with this build . Stuck at 1,2gbit the speedtest . Seems like the packet steering is not running

root@OpenWrt:~# /etc/init.d/packet_steering status
active with no instances

i tried also restarting it

Just now...

Packet steering script is changed in last two version as on openwrt master.

do you set-up also sw-hw flow offloading?

Dixenberg · 2024-04-17T20:56:57.173Z

Yes they are enabled.
You are trying speed in LAN, i have a 2.5gbit PPPOE so there is routing.
When doing the speedtest-cli(trying with more than one server) seems that a core is 100% and other not. Another guy has the same issue so there is an issue on the last build when routing is needed.
