Please advise if selecting MediaTek Ralink MIPS in Target System and MT7621 bases boards in Subtarget is enough to build a firmware?
Does anyone know of a mirror for http://downloads.pandorabox.com.cn? - because something can not be stuck (either died or I do not know - Chinese authorities block?). Possibly bearings for the latest fw pandorabox under mi-r3g.
You have to choose xiaomi mi router 3G in sub target (the one that appears after you choose mt7621) and don't forget to include LUCI
@dissent1 and @hammer
I'm testing latest mt76 and mac80211 commits from @nbd and is stable, no more reboots.
For now I do not even have the kernel warnings

[18551.671687] ---[ end trace 5a1403c04afe2a3f ]---I am also now stable with the latest build - however I am still really slow in terms of wireless performance on both 5ghz and 2.4ghz. I am using fixed channels and seeing only 14mbps down on 2.4mhz on a 250mbps connection. I am assuming that others are seeing the same as far as wireless performance?
5 GHz for me is perfect 
My notebook adapter speed is max 433 Mbps for 5GHz
@nbd
Is it normal that with 2.4 GHz I can not get 40MHz channel width anymore?
The configuration has not been changed, LuCI says that devices are connected with 40 MHz but my Intel AC 3165 (Driver 19.51.8.2) and Honor 6X only gets 20 MHz width.
With previous version (r5433) i have always 40 MHz channel width with 2.4 GHz
Thanks
I do not have speed issues. I have a 100/60mbps Internet connection and I can max it out on 5GHz. On 2.4Ghz I see lower speeds ~40mbps up/down - but that is as expected.
Also for me 5 GHz are fine.
@hammer do you have 40 MHz channel width with 2.4 GHz?
Please don't see LuCI but your wireless adapter speed.
Thanks
I'm not using 40Mhz and it probably will not make any sense to try.
I live in an apartment with ~15 neighbor 2.4GHz APs so it's impossible to select any channel that does not overlap others even on 20MHz. So selecting 40Mhz will just auto fallback to 20MHz as pr. design.
Are you sure that you don't overlap other APs on 40MHz. Maybe someone nearby have changed channel or setup a new AP and it's just a coincidence that this happened when you upgraded firmware.

There are no others 2.4 GHz nearby networks.
I do not understand why LuCI indicates 40 MHz channel width but all devices, that with previous build was connected with 40 MHz, now are locked to 20 
Try the following:
option noscan '1'
option htmode 'HT40'
option ht_coex '1' — doubtful, may be useless.
Unfortunately, OpenWRT strictly follows the standards. If the broadcast is noisy, then 40Mhz is turned off.
Firmware Padawan and Pandorabox do not follow this.

I am still slow and I have checked channel overlap, etc. Still getting about 15 - 40 down on both 2.5 and 5ghz. The other wireless A/P that I replaced was getting about 100 down on 2.4 and 190+ on 5ghz so something is up. Here is my config:

@hammer @LESHIY_ODESSA @dissent1
I think that the problem for 2.4 GHz is this
All devices ALWAYS connect 20 MHz RX and 40MHz TX
Is definitely a bug, tried also with option noscan 1 but I repeat next to me theren't 2.4 GHz wireless networks.
That's actually proper behavior because you are mislead by RX and TX. Those values are represented router wise, so what's for a router is TX for you and your client device is RX.
So when you are downloading smth routers TX (yours RX) switches to 40mhz, but routers RX (yours TX) stays intact, because you are not uploading smth.
Try to upload smth and watch the behavior.
ok will give that a shot. I will try 14. Had it set at one point in time on an earlier build. Will see if that helps. Thanks.
Edit - interesting results:
5ghz - changed to channel 44 and set txpower to 20 and I am hitting 150 down now - so better. I did get close to 200 on another router.
2.4ghz - just set txpower to 20 and now getting 25 and other router was close to 100.
Still more room for improvement but much better. The tx power did make a difference and the channel change on 5ghz also made a difference.
Edit - my wireless speed is fluctuating a bit - now only getting 20 -40 on 5ghz and about that 2ghz. Very strange and inconsistent results is what I am seeing. My upload speed is sometimes even higher than my download speed. I also moved the router this morning to see if something was blocking the signal as I had it next to a tv - that did not help.
Thanks for your pacience, I tried everything but the RX is blocked at 20 MHz.
Same thing even with the DIR-860L it also uses mt76.
The problem is with six devices and not one, all compatible with 40 MHz channel width
This crash is definitely not limited to the Xiaomi router. I just had the same crash with a Linksys WRT3200ACM running LEDE Reboot SNAPSHOT r5432-2f1c05bb80 / LuCI Master (git-17.316.07773-4891dea). Crashed after five days uptime trying to access LuCI over wifi. Normally, I access it wired.
