That is not a RT5370, it is an MT7601u chip. Use kmod-mt7601u and mt7601u-firmware.

Thank you, I also saw frollic's link,
I tried to install kmod-mt7601u and mt7601u-firmware, but it gives me an error.

Unknown package 'kmod-mt7601u'.
Collected errors:
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-mt7601u.

maybe I am doing something wrong in the installation string?

Sorry, but I am a beginner

The list of available packages is in RAM, so you have to run opkg update to download a new list after any reboot. Then you can use opkg install.

The other reason might be that you are using a version from before MT7601 support was added.

Perfect it worked, thank you very much @frollic and @mk24

I will continue with the configuration.
