MT7601U OpenWrt

[NABOULSI]

Hello. Can you help to download the MT7601U tariff on the OpenWrt system?

[frollic]

tariff = firmware ?

I COULD NOT get the radio to come up or the Access Point configuration to go active. I did some research and found out that the MT7601 kernel modules do not support AP mode.

try add this patch to package/kernel/mac80211/patches
That may enable AP mode

Where can I add this code please

[ChalesYu]

put this patch to new patch file, and put this file to package/kernel/mac80211/patches/build as other patch in that directory.

and make sure you set kmod-mt7601u in menuconfig

I didn't succeed in this can you make a video thanks

[ChalesYu]

you need to fully compile it from source code instead download a exist firmware. you should know how to compile firmware.
