about MTK MT7615 chip:

MT7615 is a highly integrated Wi-Fi single chip which support 1733 Mbps PHY rate,It fully compies with IEEE 802.11ac and IEEE802.11 a/b/n standards,offering feature-rich wireless connecivity at high standards,and delivering reliable,cost-effective throughput from and extended distance.

MT7615 supports concurrent dual-band operation at 5GHz and 2.4GHz band(DBDC,Dual-Band-Dual-Concurrent0.It enables diversified applications that require one link at 2.4GHz band,and the other at less crowded 5GHz band simultaneously.

With the advent of 802.11ac,multiuser MIMO(MU-MIMO) is defined. Mt7615 supports MU-MIMO with defferent configurations.An AP is able to use its antenna drrays to transmit multiple frames to defferent clients at the same time and over the same frequency spectrum.

[R2] Can't get the kernel to load MT7615 firmware on neither debian 9 (4.14) nor 10 (5.4)

Form factor seems to be larger than here and like other mt7615. I thought it will be smaller card that fits in bpi-r2 without cutting gpio/power connectors

Btw. Driver is already in mainline linux (not only next): https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76

To solve the heating and rf problem, we adjusted the hardware design.Can only increase

#5

Do you have some benchmark results? Can you confirm that this device support max 2x2streams with 160MHz channel width, or 80+80!

#6

Could you test it using an extender on r2 like this

?

#7

I have test that wifi module on openwrt 18.06 4.19 kernel, it’s not working, the wlan0 interface can’t be up.

#8

Have you added the driver? Imho 7615 driver was not integrated in 4.19…

#9

I have test that MT7615 wifi with kmod-mt7615e driver in 4.19, it’s working. Must manually set mac address first.

#10

does it not create a random mac?

#11

Since an invalid MAC address could be undetected on this card and also won’t generate a random address, you need to set it manually.

It may be fixed by applying this patch.

#12

MT7615 module have support BPI-R2, BPI-R64, and We have tested the parametric performance of module 7615 in the laboratory.To achieve the optimal

Hello, I’m testing the card on BPI-R2 since a few weeks now. The driver included into the 5.4 kernel version is working fine (tested using the OpenWrt version contained in this project; https://www.openmptcprouter.com/). There is still a very annoying issue that prevents a real production usage of the card!: it is not possible to set the power which is stuck to 5dBm for all wifi mode and frequencies.

Hey @sinovoip, looking at product page on AliExpress I see that it is only “EMS” that is available as a shipping method to Russia which makes the delivery cost approx the same as the cost of product itself. In other words it makes buying this wifi module cost-prohibiting with the end-user price being ~100 USD - it is way to much for a simple WiFi card IMO. Are there any plans on adding other shipment methods like “AliExpress Standard Shipment” so delivery cost won’t be that expensive?
