Comment (by anonymous):
People commenting after the ticket was closed, and without any useful
information: you're not helping the developers at all… You can easily
track any relevant changes at:
https://dev.openwrt.org/log/trunk/target/linux/ramips. As you can see,
nothing after r46891 touches upon this issue.
Now, in case it wasn't obvious, this ticket was mostly about the 2.4 GHz
radio (`mt7602`), and the referenced fix definitely improved things there.
If that's not your experience, provide statistically relevant signal
strengths before and after. As of now, both 2.4 and 5 GHz radios have
comparable strengths (in my case, roughly 62-65 dBms at 12 m).
Finally, you cannot reasonably expect a diminutive $27 AP to perform like
one with discrete external amplifiers, especially using the 11n radio on
the SoC. The 11ac radio has enough bandwidth, and the 'mt76' driver
performs rather well nowadays.
