this is my config /etc/config/wireless
config wifi-device 'radio0'
option type 'mac80211'
option channel '11'
option path 'platform/qca955x_wmac'
option htmode 'HT40-'
option country 'SK'
option txpower '27'
option hwmode '11ng'
config wifi-iface
option device 'radio0'
option network 'lan'
option mode 'ap'
option ssid '*****'
option encryption 'psk2'
option key '*****'
for initial generaion i use wifi detect. I changed htmode, hwmode. country, txpower and security related parts.
but wifi shows max 65mbits bitrate.
I also tried hwmode 11n only. But is also ignored. Also htmode.
try adding
option noscan 1
wifi-device
btw stay with default tx power for now 
did you get 300 Mbps with stock tplink FW?

hi,
am installed BB on my new 1043v2, but problem is that on WIFI configuration i see and i can only use y 801.11b and 802.11g modes. Is current limitation of openwrt for this model, or have i something wrong?
My v2 works in n fine, but yeasterday I flashed wr841n v8 with latest snapshot and it have been in g mode too. Maybe there's some bug. It's strange coincidence, but I'm not sure, maybe I have just changed n to g myself, because I needed to use wep encryption due to some utterly old client.
Tx power on default, option noscan added but still no more than 72mbit and 20Mhz.
Stock tplik: am stupid, in original i goes right to firmware update and flash openwrt.
How can i diagnose wifi decisions? Dmseg shows something about wifi but it is similar to another working openwrt on on another tplink, but i didnt understant it anyway.

my mistake option noscan 1 does the thing.
Thanks!!

I am using the ImageBuilder (http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/obtai … e.generate).
On the page is written:
"Barrier Breaker (Bleeding Edge Snapshots) EXPERIMENTAL WARNING The link below is for bleeding edge snapshots of OpenWrt. Development snapshots include experimental changes to OpenWrt that are considered unstable. The current stable release is OpenWrt Attitude Adjustment 12.09."
Does it mean I can run TL-WR1043ND v2.1 with Attitude Adjustment 12.09? Did somebody ever tried it before?
The discussion might have continued from here.
