I can not get the 6ghz to start. I have kmod-mt7916 firmware and kmod-7915e driver both loaded. My regulatory domain confirms I am allowed to use 6ghz. When I set the radio to 6ghz it just goes to disabled. As soon as I set it back to 5ghz it works. It works flawlessly on 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. Any clues?
If anyone else is having issues with the AsiaRF-MT7916 I’ll explain what I did to make everything work.
I built my own image based on openwrt’s github. To make the MT7916 work it’s required to add kmod-mt7916-firmware, kmod-mt7915e, and wpad-basic-openssl.
After I booted the image I selected the correct regulatory domain in the adapter settings and verified 6ghz was allowed and on what channels/width it was allowed. After that I used luci to select 6ghz using the 5Ghz/6Ghz switch in the adapter settings. Then you must set WPA3 security AND Management Frame Protection to required in wireless security under adapter settings.
After that I selected channel 21 and it worked perfect on 6ghz. Initially most other channels didn’t work. After a couple reboots all channels are now working.

I like to order one, however shipping is $30. Is there another place where to buy this? Amazon dont have them…
Hi, Is there any news on compatibility, maybe with the standard snapshot? I’m also running the current snapshot (SNAPSHOT (r27243-dd1bfbe971)), but I’m stuck trying to get it recognized.
I’m trying to avoid building my own image.
If not, could you give a quick tip on how to build such an image with the necessary packages. (Yes, I’m a newbie to this topic)
Kind Regards Malte
