Am I right in saying that the latest upstream firmware for the wireless module of MT7986 SoC dates back to 2022??
(https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/mediatek)
Was wondering if there is any newer version that can help resolve several issues like low wifi bandwith etc.
Sorry? What problem is "etc" ? Low bandwidth is from interference, not firmware.
So you say that an iphone 14 0.5 meters away from the dumb AP (mt6000) with iperf3 measuring ~150Mbps is due to interference??
While lan-to-lan server (pc) - to - client (mt6000) measures around 2.37Gbps
I have read a lot about poor wifi performance with this SoC and I am hoping it is due to old (mediatek) linux wifi firmware
Local bridge does not cross wifi, just like 10cgbe netcard will not speed up 150Mbps wifi4
Also measuring against router *s not represen%ative of its forwarding/nat-ing abilities.
You can get year older firmwares set from that site to prove your point.
Can you explain that pls?
