I am deploying multiple routers throughout my home and want to reduce the txpower but don't seem to be able to do so.
What I found:
I set txpower to 1 in /etc/config/wireless, iw wlan* info reports the setting in wireless config file but the actual power output is observed to stay the same regardless of the setting. (-40 dBm for 5ghz, and -36 dBm for 2.4ghz)
It's only when I switch 5ghz channel 149 to channel 36 then I observe a reduction of received signal for 5ghz from -40dBm to -49dBm. This seems to correspond to the regulatory limit
Hello. Can someone help me. I have linksys wrt1900acs v2 router I have gone from dd-wrt to LEDE reboot 17.01.2 r3435-65eeec8bd5f / LuCI lede-17.01 branch And I have a talktalk fibre router it is D-Link DSL-3782 on dd-wrt I have changed in factory settings local ip to 192.168.222.1 connected linksys router and it worked straight away. Now with Lede I'cant do the same, when changing the ipv4 to 192.168.111.1 or 192.168.222.1 or 192.168.111.2 or 192.168.222.2 after settings Got applied I cant access dashboard from any of Those ip's I also set the Lan protocol to static as is default
Ok managed to fix the issue. Just in case anyone will need help with this. I managed to do below:
I changed the ipv4 ip from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.60.1 and default gateway to 192.168.60.2 but after applying the router didn't go back to webui so I SSH Into the router to check partitions
first command :
fw_printenv boot_part
boot_part=1
so I tried different one in mycase partition 4 was spot on!
sofw_setenv boot_part 4 press enter
reboot press enter
Than I could finally connect via 192.168.60.1 and connected talktalk router from lan port 1 to the linksys WAN port and I have internet now
This applies to all neon capable SoCs but if anyone wants to try (works on all versions expect 1900ACv1 which doesn't use Armada 385) here's a little speed-up for zlib. Works fine on my WRT3200ACM. https://github.com/lede-project/source/pull/1329
You also need to change this line from vfpv3 to neon
For the driver package from eduperez, I simply copy the ipk over to the tmp directory and using WinSCP to run the opkg install ./kmod-mwlwifi.ipk command to upgrade the driver. Although I believe I had to uninstall the older driver first before issuing that command.
For the firmware .bin file, I simply used WinSCP to navigate to the /lib/firmware/mwlwifi directory, deleted the older 88W8964.bin file and copied over the newer 88W8964.bin firmware and rebooted the device.
Running very smooth at the moment. It's nice to see you and eduperez providing support for the community for Stable branch build users.
However, in my case I am already compiling against the latest driver, so I think flashing this package is a redundant step on my build.
The firmware extracted from the 32X though is not included in my build, I am one version back matched to mwlwifi's latest. But seems it will be pushed to git soon.
