Low transmission power on MT7610EN

Open ThatMishakov opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Hello. I have been trying to get my router (Archer D2, very similar to Archer vr200v, but with newer SoC) with ARX368 SoC and MT710EN 5Ghz wifi supported by openwrt, however I have discovered that after seemengly initializing and reporting to be working normally, the radio would not let me set the transmission power higher that 10-11dbm and my phone would now discover the network. What could be the issue? It seems to be very similar to https://github.com/openwrt/mt76/issues/216, but that was closed.

I have Archer C20 version 5. Again MT7610EN and tx-power is 25mw. Changing countries does not help. Seems like its reading eeprom from the wrong place. Also 5G is very unstable and disconnects each 5-10 minutes.

Same Problem on the vr200v. Seems like tplink did something different to other vendors with 6710e
