Wow this actually worked went from -88/89 to -90/91
There’s also powersupersave which I ill test
I’m wondering if this commit here is related
- Fix 5G/6G Throughput Drop due to EVM increase at High Temperature
I got a marginal improvement from -89 to -91 dBm in the 5G band, since I have ghetto shielding installed and don’t use the metal housing anymore. Still, the Rx throughput is more consistent now. Temperatures dropped, too, especially the SSD. I wonder why ASPM wasn’t enabled by default. It didn’t cause any stability issues so far.
Try this I compiled OpenWrt from MTK source
This makes sense, it’s not ASPM in powersave that’s helping improve noise, it’s the reduction in heat @Betonmischer @max_zen what do you guys think?
Since I installed a copper heatsink onto the BE14 ICs with a fan blowing on it, the temperature dropped from over 70 to below 40 °C, but I didn’t get any improvement in noise level. However, turning ASPM on helped. It’s more likely a shoddy VRM design on the main board or the BE14, than temperature alone.
Hmm ok, I thought it might be Todo with temps
Has this resulted in any additional improvements?
For me, powersupersave didn’t make noise level any lower, but throughput suffered.
Hmm it didn’t suffer for me but if that’s the case I’ll switch it back to powersave
Remained the same, I’ll switch back to powersave instead
Is this persistent between reboots or does it have to be applied every time?
It is not persistent between reboots. But you can add the command to /etc/rc.local and it will be applied after system start.

did a short speedtest and the results are -60mbit/s on download with powersave and -10mbit/s in upload.
Hello, why is the signal range so bad, even 2.4 does not penetrate the wall, as a result, the device with 6 antennas loses to mikrotik hap ac2 without antennas, what is the problem? In standard antennas R4-NIC-BE14? Maybe I connected them according to the wrong scheme? I connected the near ones to the near ones, the far ones to the far ones. I do not believe that even with standard antennas this device should lose to hap ac 2.
It’s not the signal it’s a noise issue
There’s some tricks in this thread you can use to mitigate some of the issues
I’ve seen attempts at shielding. But it shouldn’t be so bad that wifi can’t penetrate a small wall and 2 meters of free space behind it. I can still barely receive 5ghz, but 2.4… oh my god, even my phone will give out a better signal…
It’s penetration is not the problem it’s noise that’s the problem, The ascpi power saving and routing the WiFi antenna cables away from the PCIE slot to reduce noise
to enable “ascpi power saving” i use:
echo powersave > /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy
and I get a file with the following content, right?:
default [performance] powersave powersupersave
maybe not all 2.4-5 antennas should be connected to one side, is there a diagram?
UPD. in my case all 2.5-5 antennas are connected far from the pci connector with long pigtails to the far wall of the case
UPD 2. I tried changing the location of the wires and turning on power saving, but nothing changed… oh well, I’m sitting 2 meters from the router with a great signal, but as soon as I cover my phone (signal receiver) with part of my body, the signal changes from excellent to satisfactory…
