I can see both radios in luci and in /etc/config/wireless

Thanks for confirming.

I can't comment any further on the transmit power, but if you search the forum you'll find similar reports. Maybe someone else can help you with that, but I'm not sure there's a way to fix it.

If your problem is solved, please consider marking this topic as [Solved]. See How to mark a topic as [Solved] for a short how-to.

It is higher level.

To me, everything done prior, up to and including iw, indicated a reflash...

...which appears to have been part of the solution.

I could have done without your "lecture" on checking low level stuff.

If you wanted to see logread and dmesg output, all you had to do was simply ask the OP...and been done with it.

Well, first things I tried before asking there, were flashing and reflashing the ap, as suggested in the DAP 2680 flashing guide. And to switch from ct to normal drivers.

I'm rather sure it did not make a difference. The image was wrongly configured from the get-go, reflashing doesn't change anything about that.

Apologies if I came across harsh, wasn't my intention.
