Successful WiFi 6 Upgrade using AsiaRF AW7916-NPD

Yes, it either wait or use OpenWRT on it.

There would be a fair bit to configure and some trade offs. It might be “slow” but Turris did a great job designing the router.

I had a look at the BananaPi routers. Pretty impressive but I’d have to buy an M.2 SSD because it doesn’t have enough mini PCI ports.

Hi @atirado

Forgot to ask, does 40MHz bandwith work in 2,4GHz? Do you use DAWN for your band steering?

Thx,

I’m using the 802.11r Fast Transition and BSS transition options and all APs are called the same. However, Aurora is new to me. If you could expand while I also read about Aurora I reckon I can work it out.

My 2.4 GHz devices seem to only need 20MHz channels.

I’m running on channel 153 on a AW7916-NPD with Turris 7.1 without issues. Just make sure to install the kmod-mt7916-firmware package and to set your country correctly in the WLAN settings.

Hi dhopfm,

I can say I invested some time in this matter, and can only use single wifi band instead of two. Since complatibility issues I had to stick to 2,4GHz.

And sure I did use the firmware package, but it does not do the trick for me.

But thanks!
