wifi-band confusion on TP-LINK TD-W8970 #1063
Comments
It seems to me it could be a problem related to how this specific device is mapped inside openwrt, more than a libremesh issue: This device share the same vr9_tplink_tdw89x0.dtsi with vr9_tplink_tdw8980.dts It seems it was firstly an error of the manufacturer, fixed in: Remanaged then in: Double check also these if you can: This the history (before renaming to soc_vendor_device ) So for me from it could be considered a normal behaviour in openwrt,
Let us know if it is of any help |

This would work for all radios except broadcom radios. As far as I understand, broadcom radios are not compatible with cfg80211 subsystem. For those radios /lib/wifi/broadcom.sh is used instead of /lib/wifi/mac80211.sh. edit |
@pony1k are broadcom radios useful in libremesh usecases anyway? AFAIU they could be someway useful just in AP or Station mode, am I wrong? |
Fix libremesh#1063, where wireless.is5Ghz returns true for the 2GHz radio on TP-LINK TD-W8970.
TP-LINK TD-W8970
is a 2GHz only device, but lime-config configures the radio as 5GHz, which does not work. The cause of the problem is that inwireless.lua
the functionreturns
true

. I investigated on why this is, like so:Interestingly it returns
true
fora
. Also interesting is the output ofiw phy phy0 info
:It looks like it supports 5Ghz, but is somehow 'disabled'. OpenWrt version is
22.03.5
. A workaround is to configure a 2.4GHz channel for the 5GHz band.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
