Bpi-r4-nic-be14 - problem help!

I have a problem with my Banana Pi Bpi-R4. I just installed the NIC-BE14 Wi-Fi module, but the transmit power is very low and only reaches a maximum of 7dB (5mW). However, the technical specifications indicate that it should be 23.5dB at 2.4GHz, 18dB at 5GHz, and 16dB at 6GHz. Ive tried different settings and regions, but I still only get a maximum of 7dB. I even tried other drivers, and its the same issue.

Currently, my Banana Pi Bpi-R4 is running version 24.10 rc7. Ive also tried rc5 and rc6 with the same results. Should I use the snapshot version or the Banana Pi MP4 release?

What do I need to install or configure so that it works correctly?

Is the snapshot version the same as the 24.10 rc# release?

Honestly, wondering if this is a thermal throttle issue. Not 100% sure, but I’ve been running with a 120mm fan on top of the wifi card and temps are between 30c → 59c.
