@lkjasdlfwe Could you please post this as an issue in the issue-tracker instead? :)
This helps me creating a PR which should hopefully answer your questions.
Some values are experimental, and some indeed aren't present depending on the device/situation.
But I would like to improve this, so it's more clear for everyone.
@francoism90 done!
Hi!
Am I supposed to use a mix of init-start and wlboost scripts ( have both) or should i only use one of them? (AX86U)
@radulescubg You need to use all provided scripts in the /jffs folder or adjust them if you have them already. :)
I got a RT-BE92U running merlin 3006.102.5.
I set init start to

my problem is wifi 2.4 being set to anything rather than E0.
the router keeps restarting, log me out of the ui giving the error that the user or password is in correct. so i keep need to reboot. and i found out that the router time is set to 1970s
after setting the 2.4 to E0 instead of #a the reboot and reconnection issue seems to be solved but still devices connecting to 2.4ghz keep disconnecting and reconnecting each second.
Any ideas what i got to do?
@purya97 I had similar issue, it seems Tx power unlock scripts are not currently working with routers having 6ghz band. however, BE routers likeASUS RT-BE88U (is a wifi7 but doesn't have 6ghz) seems to work fine => I was able to increase Tx power from 12 to 26
@francoism90 could you please confirm what's the actual Tx power according to those logs

@oaatiq I'm not adjusting TX-Power at the moment, because I bought an AiMesh setup.

As stated in the README, the router, firmware and hardware may ignore any overrules.
@francoism90 Thanks for your feedback, do you know how to push my RT-BE88U from 26.00 to 31 ?

I have a couple of stupid questions. Would be grateful is someone could guide me. The wlupdate file states:
Which of the following does it mean:
Second, in the wlboost file all commands are commented but some are commented once and some are commented twice.
What is the purpose of this. Do I uncomment everything for the feature I need or just the single comments? Thanks
