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!

what is the maximum troughput ? did somebody made iperf?
I didn’t do iperf, but my max wifi to internet throughput is ~500mbit on fast.com
Wired eth can do 1gbit in Safari.
new even better module
That looks like a killer module though I am sure someone will have something to add about the 2x2.
Anyway, would the current driver in the Omni’s handle this ?
I think it’s actually even about the hardware. I can’t do more than 500mbit wifi to internet.
There’s been some posts in the past about internet throughput which mention the same number. Some configurations will help improve from that number but you will hit a point when the dual core CPU simply maxes out.
In my own experience with a 1G Symmetric connection you hit a limit at around 700/500 (u/d). I ended lowering my connection speed which at 500 Symmetric was quite good for everything I was doing then.
omnia runs TurrisOS, which takes its´ drivers from openWRT. you can check the available packages in luci. there is no driver for the mt7990 listed at the moment.
the card is simply too new to have driver support in openWRT.
and since the drivers for the mt7916 came out months after the card was released, i wouldn´t count on the mt7990 getting stable driver support before late mid of the year.
