Various issues with 5Ghz MT7610E #227
Comments
Hello @nbd168 after upgrading to aa470d8 the same issue happens using various different configurations for this radio. Let us know of anything significant about the improvements for it or any specific feedback you may require we can provide accurately. |
I have a c20 v1 with same 5ghz chipset and kmod-mt76x0e driver isn't doing anything for me. I installed latest snapshot with kmod-mt76x0e pre installed, yet the 5ghz radio isn't showing up under wireless settings.. What am i doing wrong? |
Hello @nbd168 Can't make a simple scan, SSID disappear, doesn't connect at all regardless the channel used, etc. So although the 5Ghz radio is detected and appears in the system it remains unusable. |
This issue should never beem closed. It remains the same and MT7610E keeps not working properly at all. It is detected by default snapshot but doesn't work and has the same issues reported. @nbd168 have you or anyone done any work about this driver ? I believe the results will be the same if the radio hardware is the same regardless the router, but to mention in more detail the router in case is a TP-Link C20 v4 |
Just to update the thread I have updated to Snapshot r10348-577174cf60 with a recent mt76 fix and now it seems to be able to control the Transmit Power correctly. Also the Scan button that has never worked correctly seems to work now. |
Seem like I'm experiencing the same issue but on a different radio. |
Hi there I have the same problem |
Same for me. kmod-mt76x0e installed and no wifi showing.
EDIT: |
Same problem on Asus RT-AC51U, Openwrt 19.07 (commit d2d12346e8e6dd5fbb6befd4f9e3e1d5304a2e31)
wifi (both 2.4 & 5 ) doesn't work. |
In my case calibration data was erased. Stock firmware shows wrong MAC adresses for LAN and WAN (00:11:11:11:11:11, 00:22:22:22:22:22)

Hello @nbd168 When trying to set the channel for 5Ghz radio. It simply doesn't let you do that. You must use it in Auto otherwise when the device boots up the 5Ghz radius simply doesn't broadcast SSID and no clients can connect. Below is my /etc/config/wireless relevant part for the 5Ghz radio: config wifi-device 'radio1' |
I have exactly the same issue with WAVLINK-WN570HA1 using OpenWRT 19.07.2 Master. If i change channels on 5ghz network the radio can't be started. What's more with the radio set on auto. It allows me to connect for a short time and then in like 5 minutes it starts failing, my devices start needing more than one attemp to connect and late are not able to connect at all. With the radio not showing anymore. |
It was announced today in the OpenWrt-Devel list that there is a plan to release 19.07.3 and 18.06.9 soon. It would be interesting if these issues could be fixed before that happens so they are included in these newer builds. |
@Lankaster have you been able to restore it? what is the tx power @ 5GHz? |
@LorenzoBianconi I bought RT-AC51U with erased calibration data partition. Unfortunately it doesn't possible to do something (see my comment from 17 Jan) |
My current issue is the tx power on 5GHz band is very weak. IIUC your device has been shipped with corrupted calibration data or has the factory partition been wiped? In the latter case, do you remember what was the signal strength using the stock firmware? |
@LorenzoBianconi factory partition was wiped. Default APs on stock firmware wasn't visible. It didn't make sense for me check something more. |
@Lankaster I can share my factory partition if you want to try to restore it |
I went back to "original" firmware. And on my Wavlink ac600. I said "" cos could not find the firmware in wavlink website and just downloaded one I found... link: here The original firmware is really buggy, however the 5GHZ wifi unlike than on Openwrt 19.07.2 works great... |
@nbd168 are you following this ? It would be great to have you input on it as author of mt76 |
i noticed than i can connect to device after a reboot no problem, but if i reconnect there is no traffic go throw even the wifi is connected. |
Upgraded to Openwrt 19.07.3 still same problem. If i change channer radio fails to boot, if I dont (auto 36) its too weak and authentifications fails. |
The issue is also present on the Zyxel NBG6515.
Hardware on the Zyxel NBG6515: It is rather unfortunate, everything else seems to work. |

Ported from: openwrt#286 Should fix: openwrt#199 openwrt#227 At least fix problem on DIR-510L with 5GHz: clients most times can not connect. Detailed issue description openwrt#227 Also this duplicates: openwrt#287 but current code base does not have these changes.
Hi, yes I tried it also with factory radio again. There is now just 11 dBm again in "driver default" vaulue mode and still no connection to my router... I regred to have switched... before with 21.01 it was at least working and I can't remember what else I changed to bring it to fly... Do you have progress in finding the issue? Edit: Just a notice. To geht the 23 dBm for 5 GHz you need to change the values to "28". With these values I see at least 23 dBm in "default driver" mode, even when it is still not working again and I can only choose until 10 dBm in Drop Down. |
Sounds not good. |
Hi. I think that a function
As you can see in archer c2 src |
One more fix #632
|
The my previous fixes are wrong. I think that some stock firmware doesn't use eeprom for power calculation. And mt76 can't calculate correct max power level based on eeprom.
or use MT_EE_5G_TARGET_POWER and MT_EE_2G_TARGET_POWER as power for channels (0x1c in my case in eeprom for 5G).
The result is, that txpower really increased. |

Looks like eeprom load code is broken in driver. |
More research done here: #633 |
Same issue with a Wavlink AC600, it uses MT7610E for 5GHz. |
Same issue with my Wavlink AC600 (WL-WN570HA1) on OpenWrt 22.03.0-rc6 r19590-042d558536 |
@vdemidov what issue exactlly ? Could you describe it please ? |
For 5Gz WiFi if I specifi channel differnt from "auto" - problems with client connection and data transfer only short time after router reboot. When I set Channel: "auto" and all other option to driver_default it's possible to connect but Iperf3 show very bad speed. Something like 700 kbit/s/ And connection very unstable. |
Sorry. But looks like with any setting it stop work after 5 minutes after reboot. Settings: config wifi-iface 'default_radio1' |
Iperf3 Result [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr |
@vdemidov can you confirm if your router doens't have problems with 2.4 GHz TX power? I have 3 Wavlink AC600 (WL-WN570HA1) as yours, and their TX power doesn't effectively change, even though I can "change" the power in LuCI to up to 30 dBm when the Country is configured as Taiwan. Stock firmware has a much stronger signal strength. 2.4G eeprom content:
5G eeprom

@thiagohd How to check? I didn't see mach differnce in speed on 2.4Gz with OEM firmware but doesn't check this carefull. |
After update to OpenWrt 22.03.0 r19685-512e76967f 5G wifi doesn't work. config wifi-iface 'default_radio1' Log: Tue Sep 13 12:26:39 2022 daemon.notice hostapd: wlan1: ACS-COMPLETED freq=5180 channel=36 Message "mt76x0e 0000:01:00.0: MAC error detected" repeat until disable 5G Wifi |
@ffrediani @nbd168 I'd like to install the latest openwrt on my TP-Link Archer C20 v4, but seeing how many issues there are in this thread, I'm worried for the stability. Could we have a summary on what issues that've been fully fixed, partially fixed and still not fixed? |
Just want to appear here with an issue on my TP-Link Archer C2 I have only just found this thread in the MT7610E, the C2 has a MT7610EN. Seems to be specific devices which do not work with my MT7610EN, not sure how much information is particularly helpful, but here is the forum thread I started for my issue https://forum.openwrt.org/t/5ghz-not-working-with-only-some-devices-1-works-3-dont/139080 I doubt the information I have collected contributes significantly to this conversation, especially as I do not know what differentiates the working and non-working clients, but I am more than happy to do further testing. I would prefer not flashing too much onto this device as it is in active use at the moment, but if needs be I will. |
My connection issue appears to be resolved in the latest OpenWRT snapshot. Speeds don't appear to be the most amazing ever, capping out around 35Mbit/s between two clients on my device, but thats a whole lot better than nothing! EDIT: I can also confirm that this is resolved (with the same speed warning) in stable release 22.03.1 too |
Update: Just wanna tell that I see no diffrence in behavior, when we change the hexcode like describes we'll see the 23 dBm, but there is not more TX-Power out of the device. Edit: I did a wrong conclusion. There was a second route active which was able to transport 100 Mbit/s. I think the driver problems have a lot to do with the DFS problem of Mt7610. I have an spare Archer C2 here with original firmware and just noticed that's just possible to use ch 36-48 no other spektrum because of DFS. So I think that's unfortunate our major problem. Anyway does someone know how to backup the mtd8 radio partition before flashing openwrt? In WDS mode on channel 36 on my fritzbox 7490 the rx performance is around 300 Mbit/s measured with iperf3 and around 200 Mbit/s tx |
@suppenkasper0815 try to fix the value for register 2320 with a shell script every second (check my other post about issues) .. and see if that makes your connection good |
Still the same today :) Seems like we will never have a good mediatek driver... or maybe these are mediatek possibilities :) |
I guess after Mediatek ended their request to @nbd168 he did not develop it anymore. |
This issue is similar to 633. I have now good results !!! Check this thread : #633 |
Using a TP-Link Archer C20 v4 with MT7610E I have installed kmod-mt76x0e which doesn't come by default and it detects the 5Ghz card. Configuring it it works to connect but a few minutes after booting the router the 5 Ghz SSID disappear and doesn't come back soon.
Sometimes the SSID may appear again but for short periods and then disappear again, very intermittently, therefore it is unusable.
Tested with Wifi Analyser and the SSID isn't even advertised.
I tried various different configurations as such:
If I am not wrong the Maximum Transmit Power for this card is 13dBm but it is possible to configure it with more and it shows up more under "iwinfo wlan1 info"
Also the Scan option doesn't seem to work either.
@nbd168 did you mentioned recently some work has been done on this driver asking us to test or am I mistaken and confused with other chip ? Is there anything else other than related here that is worth to give attention ?
