WRT32X - wireless configuration

Greetings,

I'm having a heck of a time trying to configure my 5Ghz wireless to show up anything more then 54 under Max Rate in inSSIDer. Anyone else have one of these device mind sharing their wireless configuration? Below is what I'm currently working with.

Hardware: wrt32x
OS: 18.06.4 + opkg upgrade & update

/etc/config/wireless

config wifi-device 'radio0'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option hwmode '11a'
        option path 'soc/soc:pcie/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0'
        option country 'US'
        option channel '64'
        option htmode 'VHT80'
        option disabled '0'
        option noscan '1'

config wifi-iface 'default_radio0'
        option device 'radio0'
        option network 'lan'
        option mode 'ap'
        option macaddr '62:38:e0:d0:02:a2'
        option ssid '5Ghz1'
        option encryption 'psk2+ccmp'
        option key 'secret'

config wifi-device 'radio1'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option hwmode '11g'
        option path 'soc/soc:pcie/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:02:00.0'
        option country 'US'
        option channel '1'
        option htmode 'HT40'
        option disabled '0'
        option noscan '1'

config wifi-iface 'default_radio1'
        option device 'radio1'
        option network 'lan'
        option mode 'ap'
        option macaddr '62:38:e0:d0:02:a1'
        option ssid '24Ghz1'
        option encryption 'psk2+ccmp'
        option key 'secret'

config wifi-device 'radio2'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option channel '36'
        option hwmode '11a'
        option path 'platform/soc/soc:internal-regs/f10d8000.sdhci/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/mmc0:0001:1'
        option htmode 'VHT80'
        option disabled '1'

config wifi-iface 'default_radio2'
        option device 'radio2'
        option network 'lan'
        option mode 'ap'
        option ssid 'OpenWrt'
        option encryption 'none'

My two cents:

  • You cannot change the country on these devices, remove that line, and let the device use the one configured by default.
  • You cannot use high speeds with any encryption, use 'psk-mixed+aes' exclusively.

You might also try one of the upper non-dfs channels on radio0 (149-161) and removing option noscan (or setting it to 0).

Thank you gentlemen.

Is it possible to have your wireless configuration span multiple channels?

I took a snapshot of what I see in my neighborhood using inSSIDer.

Yes, have a look here for the full explanation:
