[BPI-R4] BE14 mainline openwrt configuration

Banana Pi Router design BPI-R4(MT7988)

Im experiencing exactly the same. Which is sad because this is the only image i’ve found that actually has all WIFI radios working.

Was thinking maybe the wpa_supplicant was overwriting settings on reboot, i deleted it and still happened.

I’m about to try to write to internal memory although doubt it would make any difference. I’ve never had this issue with any SD card image before.

I have tried with a handful of different SD Cards. Some new, and some not. All same. Works great until a reboot wipes any config.

I got it to work by updating to the most recent snapshot, then reinstalling LUCI from the CLI after updating the network config.

Seems fine now. Just dont try to modify the 6g. It is still buggy and will not work after any modification.

With the latest snapshot and the MTK feeds, the wifi can be made stable. You just need to add

option band '6g'
option channel 'auto'

to the configuration of radio2 in /etc/config/wireless You also probably need to set a country to all the three radios.

After that, also changes from LuCI seems to be stable.

Thanks!

The issue is compiling without errors. Which is why i used the provided image.

This thread is about mainline openwrt wifi configuration,not mtk feed and not build errors. Please create dedicated thread and tell what exactly you are using there

Sorry didn’t mean to post in the wrong place. Please feel free to move to delete.

Glad you guys got it working any chance of MLO (Multi-Link Operation) supposed to be a wifi 7 where clients use multiple bands at once at least from what I read. Then again need to crawl before we can walk and everybody probably still working on stability and normal operation.

MLO has been included recently (git.openwrt.org Git - openwrt/openwrt.git/commit). Still preliminary support though. I haven’t had a chance to see what part of MLO is working and what isn’t, but we’re getting there.
