@Sildurs-shaders Is this an AiMesh node? If so, is it wired backhaul or wireless?
You don't need to do nvram commit. You can test/set the nvram setting, and restart the wireless of your router. This is actually the recommended approach. I'll try to add the restart command later. It's something like service restart wireless, but cannot test right now.
If you don't have any cable/ethernet, you could also use the 2.4GHz channels as a backup.
@francoism90 > @pabrognara You could test the latest changes I've pushed. It basically removes the cap limit, but I'm still finding out how it actually works. So I don't recommend actually doing nvran commit after (unless you don't mind a hard reset on connection issues).
Would u pls copy those lines here? So I can try nvram and commiting without creating a script
BTW I am testing an ax88upro and last FW with my settings backup and it is working flawlessly without "dropping" to 80mhz when a non 160mhz device is connected to it.
@pabrognara Please see repo in first post.
I have a couple of stupid questions. Would be grateful is someone could guide me. The wlupdate file states:
#Please adjusts the given nvram variables (nvram dump) with values of your own device.
Which of the following does it mean:
Second, in the wlboost file all commands are commented but some are commented once and some are commented twice.
# wl -i eth6 down
## wl -i eth6 scansuppress 1
# wl -i eth6 country ALL
# wl -i eth6 country_abbrev_override "US"
## wl -i eth6 bw_cap 5g "0xff"
What is the purpose of this. Do I uncomment everything for the feature I need or just the single comments? Thanks
@lkjasdlfwe Could you please post this as an issue in the issue-tracker instead? :)
This helps me creating a PR which should hopefully answer your questions.
Some values are experimental, and some indeed aren't present depending on the device/situation.
But I would like to improve this, so it's more clear for everyone.
@francoism90 done!
Did a lot of rebooting and nvram clearing to figure out which entries broke it and tested it by going in media bridge mode and connecting it to my main router. It forces my main router in to 80mhz mode if those entries are changed and if I check the GT-AC2900 in router mode the tick box / selection for 160mhz is also gone. Nvram clear and changing everything but those three entries restores 160mhz functionality. (or one of them, haven't tried them one by one because it's pain in the ass to wipe nvram all the time)
