RT-N66U has a very low signal. The phone is connected only if it is placed close to the router. To put it a little further away does not work.
The solution is in Asus RT-N66U not working wifi - #11 by frollic.
Switch to Merlin or dd-wrt
Can you tell me where this setting is? (I'm a newbie)
What setting ?
You said to switch to Merlin or dd-wrt. Where and how can this be done?
Those are other 3rd party firmwares, Google knows of them.
Restore to OEM firmware with OEM restore tool, then move to other firmware.
It is very important for me to stay on OpenWRT. Is there any way to fix it?
Sure, call Broadcom, ask them to release improved FOSS drivers.
(So no, there isn't)
