There was a patch to be found on one of the github forks off of mwlwifi, don't recall which individual. I never bothered, seemed simpler and more flexible to just alter file:
That patch adds a script to the initialization process, that changes a couple of kernel parameters. That can be done manually, I do not think it should be part of the driver packages.
The issue was about latency, and iirc the issue was restricted to devices with 88W8864, presumably a bug in the FW, so should not be relevant to a rango. And you would want it enabled, assuming it is not bugged.
I only got a WRT3200ACM a week ago despite talk of poor WiFi and it's still returnable but it appears to be worth the risk given there's not much else in its price bracket to match the stats. I'm getting 420mbs over 5ghz wireless on a 400mbs PPPoE to the ISP.
Previous driver had some stability issues not found in Linksys stock so got high hopes.
I now want to build this into a new image but never done it. I'm going hunting for answers but any pointers welcome.
And I use your driver in combo with a unregulatory wireless-regdb (no dfs, 1000mw and unlocked channels).... And on a macbook pro 2020...I get 890mbps and 870 up from my fiber isp with a ping of 3.7-4.2ms tested with a distance of 30 meters....and still over 500 up/down, at my neighbor two floors down...
I told my friends and now I'm installing wrt1900acs and wrt3200 for a lot of openwrt and wifi speedfreaks, from airbnb locations to a owner of expensive super apartment...he has three 3200...with radius and vpn tunnel and multiple fiber wan. He has 2gbit bandwidth!
Now running 4 weeks without a glitch!
I'm on 21 specialized build with your mwlwifi, low latency kernel through hardware devcrypto and openssl libs and range over 200 meters from my house, urban environment!
I share a gigabit fiber with 2 neighbors, each with wrt1900acs for own wifi, each with adblock, dnscrypt-proxy2, adblock, IPv6, multiple ssid and VLAN isolated networks...running for 2 two weeks straight!
@eduperez The WIFI for my WRT3200ACM is terrible for v21.02.0-rc2, many disconnects and really not useable.
v21.02.0-rc3 is coming out today or in the next couple of days.
Would it be possible and would there be any benefits if you made your version of the WIFI drivers for v21.02.0-rc3?
I am just looking for decent speeds and especially stability and no random disconnects etc... that a I and others have been experiencing since the RCs have been put out for use.
OperWrt 21.02.0 already contains the latest version available at @kaloz site, and @thagabe abandoned his modifications... I do not think I can build newer packages.
Unfortunately, it does not look like NXP plans to play nice.
Looks like they do not even want to answer this publicly but here it goes anyway:
