New Xiaomi router AC2100

I got the same generic device but it works for me :

Looks similar but I enabled and I see like this the whole time

I think it stays like this until a device is associated.

Edit // you can try to set a 5GHz channel manually (36 or 40 for eg).
Auto channel seem a bit long to detect the 1st time.

Hello,not compile with your driver. I used https://github.com/phs07/openwrt master brench

just did a quick check - if TRX v1 and v2 are using magic HDR0, this firmware is expecting magic HDR1
(magic being first X bytes of the file, in this case X=4)

i changed some default setting.

Are u using my recent version?

Yes. I download after your changes.


Please fix error error

do u make it now?

In this guide is written that the python version 2 will not work. Will version 3 work If I have both (versions 2 and 3) on my Linux OS?

I am dowload again, but some error

Is there any way to change the brightness of the LEDs?
I mean setting to darken the LEDs at night and even turn off.
This applies to the LEDs on the front and back of the device

@scp07 Thanks for your hard work.
I followed the tutorial in https://github.com/impulse/ac2100-openwrt-guide and used your images and worked like a charm.

But like other people I'm getting a much lower 5g performance after the flash using the latest image 19.07.3, even after changing the setting of "Fragmentation threshold" to 2346.

Before I was getting a Download of 228 Mbps and now I'm lucky if I get 4.45.
Also my android device seems to be struggling to get an IP and DNS.

Maybe I got some wrong configuration?
thanks

You mast use cron
create file /bin/led.sh
crontab:
00 8,23 * * * /bin/led.sh

#!/bin/sh
if [ $(cat /sys/devices/platform/leds/leds/redmi-router-ac2100:white:status/brightness) -eq 255 ]
then
        echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/leds/leds/redmi-router-ac2100:white:status/brightness
else
        echo  255 > /sys/devices/platform/leds/leds/redmi-router-ac2100:white:status/brightness
fi

if [ $(cat /sys/devices/platform/leds/leds/redmi-router-ac2100:white:wan/rx) -eq 1 ]
then
        echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/leds/leds/redmi-router-ac2100:white:wan/rx
else
        echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/leds/leds/redmi-router-ac2100:white:wan/rx

Hi @IDDQD
Mine is set as a wired repeater and there is no such problem, here is an iperf3 with my phone (5GHz 433Mb/s)

i get the same with my old lenovo X230 (intel 6205 given for 300Mb/s at 2.4/5GHz)
we will probably get better speed with time and future improvements.

Thanks for your response.
In my side I'm getting this values.


Between my OnePlus 7t and a quite recent MacBook pro. So I think is really coming from the router.
I set it as router since I'm connecting it directly to the ONT.
As you say maybe in the future releases the performance will improve.
Thanks

Are you sure you didn't flashed 19.07 dev instead of 19.07.3 stable?

Use you WPA3 for encryption Wi-Fi 5g?
