Update RvR (Rate vs. Range) test result

I received my card with a metal shield. I was planning on adding radiators to the 2 chips on the board.
Is the shield for cooling purposes or it helps with interference?
It can reduce interference and it is ok to add heatsink on it, thanks.
What about antennas for the wifi chip?

It is only 2T2R, the other MT7915 card is 4T4R… I almost ordered 2 but then I saw it. Hmmmmz
1800Mbps with DBDC vs 2400Mbps without DBDC
This card is with 4T4R RF outputs in circuit too. Due to 2.4GHz and 5GHz can be combined in one RF outpupt. So 1x2.4GHz and 1x5GHz are combined to 1x(dual bands). Total are 2x(dual bands) outputs. Thanks for your asking!
Just got one - going to test it.
Hi Does this WIFI module support simultaneous AP & STA mode same time, be master and client at the same time.
If you mean mesh point: yes
If you can do this
# iw dev wlan0 interface add wlan0_sta type managed addr 12:34:56:78:ab:cd
# iw dev wlan0 interface add wlan0_ap type managed addr 12:34:56:78:ab:ce
You can tell by:
iw list
Check: valid interface combinations:
See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Software_access_point#L10
But sadly I do not own this card, so you need to find someone who can try this
yes, thanks for the response
I’m not familiar with the iw tool, from the Luci you can add wireless AP and Client, this is supported on Atheros wifi modules, wanted to know does this supported on this module
Yes, many interface combination such as AP+STA are supported when using mt76 driver with MT7615E.
@frank-w hi， frank， GitHub - frank-w/BPI-Router-Linux: Linux kernel 4.14+ for BPI-R2, 5.4+ for R64, 6.1+ for R2Pro and R3 branch 5.10-main, Is MT7915 supported? Thanks。
in recent kernel versions it is supported but maybe not enabled for all boards in defconfig/precompiled kernels
Does the 5.10-main branch code support MT7915? I want to use the 5.10-main code to use MT7915. Thanks.
it looks like linux 5.10 supports mt79xx wifi cards, but why not using newer kernel
