Auto channel is usually bad, manually set a channel. 20MHz on the 5GHz band is going to slow you down tremendously. 80MHz channels if you're not conflicting with neighbors, 40MHz in a pinch. I have Protection Mode set to RTS/CTS and RTS threshold at 784. On the 2.4GHz, turn off Legacy Rates. Other than that, your settings look pretty close to mine. _________________ Formerly dpp3530 Linksys MR7350

Wifi channels are only available in regulatory domains that allow them. That is per the developer.
@Frakko: Please stop with your antics. We already know you don't know how to configure anything and do not take advice well nor follow advice given. Thank you! Bye!
@kernel-panic69 I prefer to understand a little less about computer science than to demonstrate, like you and the other, how much you are worth. Just reading your amenities is enough to understand what you are made of. Have a nice day!

Router/Version: Linksys MR7500-AX / V1 File/Kernel: web update mr7500 DD-WRT v3.0-r60511 std (03/28/25) /
Linux 6.6.83-rt29 #3000 SMP Thu Mar 27 07:11:53 +07 2025 aarch64 Previous/Reset: r60502 first dd-wrt version / YES Mode/Status: AP gateway / After reset, working well Issues/Errors: none with the router / Works!
After the front panel LED goes cyan, the wifi won't work for about 5 seconds
* Old laptop with Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 wifi interface and weather station w/ESP8266 wifi interface won't connect to 2.4 GHz. Wouldn't connect if WPA3 personal/SAE was checked even if WPA2 Personal/SHA256 CCMP-128 AES was also checked. Apparently, those devices not smart enough to drop to WPA2. Removed WPA3, laptop works. After lotsOreading, used suggestion by @lexridge to do: nvram set Wl_frag=1568 followed by a nvram commit with a reboot which fixed the weather station w/ESP8266. I did not have to disable LDPC (disable for ESP8266).
* 2.4 GHz band quite congested (1-11 US) 20 MHz BW but nice feature of Site Survey and Channel Survey buttons helped find one channel that was useable. Old Brother Laser printer refused to work due to adjacent station wifi noise and did not have ethernet or 5 GHz. Tired of fighting, so bought new Brother Laser printer with 2.4/5 GHz and ethernet which easily worked on 5 GHz. Did bump pwr to 25 DBm (FCC limit is 30 DBm) on 2.4 and 5 GHz to improve performance.
* 5 GHz band is getting congested enough that choice of 40 MHz BW channel pair outside of US DFS/TPC bands is hard to find. The Site and Channel Survey buttons helped me find a channel pair that works so far.
* some family members have 6 GHz phones but have not tested yet.

Preliminary Internet speed testing:
machines with wired gig ethernet run at almost line rate which is better than old DIR-800L ever could.
5 GHz AC wireless speedtest is about 280 Mb/s download in same room as the mr7500 while 2 roku's streaming.
--------
Using MAC driven DHCP which works. DNSMasq, both beam forming enabled, Noise Immunity and U-APSD enabled. Running for several weeks. Going to try r60662 as soon as rest of house occupants go away for a few hours.
Plan on adding other features now that 1.8 GHz 4 cores are available. Just couldn't do much with routers with less horsepower.
