Support for Easybox 904 LTE

[Plonk34]

1.) I can't find the "Advanced Settings" tab to setup my country code or something else, to get wifi work (at the moment '00' and signal power is 0)

I have never used luci no idea if it works.
Did you mean "at the moment '00' and signal power is 0" in luci

And is there an alternative way, to configure wlan on the eb904?
Or what do you recommend?

Modifie the /etc/config/wireless via SSH and reboot the wifi via: /etc/init.d/rt3883 boot
see the /etc/init.d/rt3883 for single commands.
Some values can be change with the old iwconfig and iwpriv commands.
@kovs should correct me, but he background are it based on a very old driver time before using the default nl80211 connection of the linuxkernel.

@MarkO

with the ssh access, i have no command flash_eraseall, just flash_erase. Is this normal?

yes it is normal flash_eraseall do not exist anymore.
use:

flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0x0 0x2
nandwrite -p /dev/mtd0 u-boot.lq

instead

So I don't know if this whole openwrt world is not slowly dieing because we can't get through the important (performance) doors with any device.

How can we make the lantiq xrx200 devices faster

The Lantiq VRX200 with the combo VRX268|VRX288 with VRX208 (called xrx200 or VR9) chipset from ca. 2013 are normaly used in xDSL-Modem-Router with and without Telefon support. I read here and herethat the chipset have a MIPS 34Kc Architecture with 2 VPEs (Virtual Processing Elements) and 9 Thread Context (TC)s per VPE. These both VPEs can be used for SMP or each VPE can run a separateoperating system. In the case of Telefon-Modem-Router the VoIP Firmware (VMMC) can or better must run on it. Th…

Xrx200 IRQ balancing between VPEs

This post says the interrupts are not evenly distributed on xrx200. It seems the 4.14.93 openwrt kernel doesn't support the interrupt controller for the second VPE of xrx200, this seemed weird to me, so I dug on internet and I've found a kernel here which supports it. There was no devicetree with base address of the second icu, but the GPL sources from TP-W9980 contains a kernel 2.6 header (located at GPL_TD-W9980/lantiq/target/linux/ltqcpe/files/include/asm-mips/ifx/vr9/vr9.h) with hardcoded ba…

brings 88Mbit/s from 94Mbit/s VDSL speed. (no SMP support, i use the FXS ports)

@slh

With the advent of super vectoring (profile 35b), the days of VRX2xx devices are numbered anyways (GRX3xx/ GRX550/ GRX750, which would support super vectoring, aren't supported by OpenWrt yet).

At the moment it is the only solution for VVDSL (up to profile 30a) and Telefon support i can not see that there are somthing change in the next future.
An other thing are these devices second hand are really cheap in Germany.

Unfortunately it seems actually an unrealistic dreaming to get one fully working device with OpenWRT.

I do it long time too but i more and more understand why openwrt official support only wifi and ethernet.
Every time when i make an build somthing else does not correct work

At the moment the biggest problem are SQM (using the tc command) in combination with the Wifi driver reboot the devices.
