edit : someone with one of these up and running should try this... i have one of these in my collection of "i really should sell these" downstairs... i put it away strictly because of the lack of 160mhz... and the fact that these bad boys get pretty toasty (80c+ from what i recall...)... but on the up side it has a superior antenna design and i was getting much better range than with my 301w when i had it running as my primary gateway.

is it really as simple as adding ath11k_remove_regdomain under the nbg7815 block in 11-ath11k-caldata?

here is the current version:

        zyxel,nbg7815)
                caldata_extract "0:art" 0x1000 0x20000
                label_mac=$(get_mac_label)
                ath11k_patch_mac $(macaddr_add $label_mac 3) 0
                ath11k_patch_mac $(macaddr_add $label_mac 2) 1
                ath11k_patch_mac $(macaddr_add $label_mac 4) 2
                ath11k_set_macflag
                ;;
        esac

and for mx4200:

        linksys,mx4200v2)
                caldata_extract "0:art" 0x1000 0x20000
                label_mac=$(mtd_get_mac_ascii devinfo hw_mac_addr)
                ath11k_patch_mac $(macaddr_add $label_mac 2) 0
                ath11k_patch_mac $(macaddr_add $label_mac 1) 1
                ath11k_patch_mac $(macaddr_add $label_mac 3) 2
                ath11k_remove_regdomain
                ath11k_set_macflag
                ;;

unless there is other crap in the bdf which prevents it, yes. its that simple. it simply modifies the calibration data and clears out the regdomain to 0. this means the driver is permitted to upload regulatory information to the firmware.
i made a modification for ath11k which does this automaticly in the driver and clears bdf and caldata to handle that

You also need to modify the BDF. There is a tool for that: https://github.com/testuser7/ath_bdf_tool

3349

or you simply modify ath11k since ath11k reads both into memory before uploading

3350

have fun. this also modifies the bdf and caldata template version for 2.12 (experimental)

sigh

everything is good as is and seeing as im half-ADHD i like consistency so i'll stick with the 3x 301ws instead of 1x nbg7815 + 2x 301w... that being said the range of the nbg7815 is supperior without a doubt.

i forgot who it was that wrote the fan + rgb handlers for the nbg7815... he should give it a shot. he was active in this thread..

edit : @asvio care to give the above a shot?

3352

@qosmio Hello, I'm using 11.4.0.5. When the terminal is connected to 160mhz, web pages can be opened normally, but videos cannot be opened. In addition, the Internet speed is limited to 1200mbs.

3353

Hey,

So I have VERY CRUDELY added remove_regdomain under nbg7815 to 2 ath11k-caldata files I have found on a router (using winscp). After reboot etc., there was no change in behaviour - same errors.

I will check if I can dig into that tool @trongkhoa1505 has suggested, as it looks that just adding a line in caldata may not be enough.

Please note though that I am literally doing 'fake it till you make it' - I am not a dev, so don't shout if I do things completely wrong :slight_smile:

3354

Try to add country to your wireless configuration.

3355

I just tried again to see wireless file output:

config wifi-device 'radio0'
	option type 'mac80211'
	option path 'platform/soc@0/c000000.wifi'
	option band '5g'
	option channel '100'
	option htmode 'HE160'
	option country 'GB'
	option cell_density '0'

config wifi-iface 'default_radio0'
	option device 'radio0'
	option network 'lan'
	option mode 'ap'
	option ssid 'OpenWrt'
	option encryption 'none'

Still same error and ap is disabling itself.

Here is zyxel part in caldata I have modified:

zyxel,nbg7815)
		caldata_extract "0:art" 0x1000 0x20000
		label_mac=$(get_mac_label)
		ath11k_patch_mac $(macaddr_add $label_mac 3) 0
		ath11k_patch_mac $(macaddr_add $label_mac 2) 1
		ath11k_patch_mac $(macaddr_add $label_mac 4) 2
		ath11k_remove_regdomain
		ath11k_set_macflag
		;;

Cheers

3356

Can you try channel 36?

3357

channel 36 isnt capable of doing 160. not technically, but by any regdb i know

for me it would be more important if he would just output the regdb info and channels info again and the iw phy phy0 info which he missed at all from the beginning. so we can also check the reported capabilities.
and by the ath11k patch i posted should solve it in general for all chipsets and variants. but this cannot be done by filesystem editing of course

3358

@BrainSlayer Can you release your ath11k patch？

And apologies - implementing patches, extracting bdf's etc. is something I have never done before - I could try but it would take a bit of time to learn how to do it.

Hope that info posted above helps!

FYI,

For those interested @BrainSlayer's remove bdf regdomain patch modded for my repo.

Copy to package/kernel/mac80211/patches/nss/ath11k/999-818-ath11k-bdf-removeregdomain.patch and clean and rebuild mac80211.

i posted it already if you are refering to the 160 mhz problem. just read my posts

3363

your radio doesnt support 160 mhz by hw report (according to iw phy phy0 info)

the vht capabilities returned by the chipset
"Supported Channel Width: neither 160 nor 80+80"

so even if the he cap does say its 160 mhz capable. if vht capabilities are returning 80 only 160mhz is disabled

For the next 10-12 days I'm going to be unable to test the nbg7815.

You've caught me on a journey and I don't even have a computer to include the patches that are being published in my nbg7815 repository.

Hey, thanks for checking, but wouldn't VHT apply to wifi-ac? Below it states multiple times that it support HE160, which is an wifi-ax extension.

EDIT:

                                8 streams: not supported

That would be consistent with what I see in luci - I can't see 160 when mode is ac, but I can when mode is ax?
