Description
Hi, I am trying to add support for Linksys EA8100-AH (MT7621 soc with dual MT7615N)
The AC speed is about 50~150Mbps when connected to Oneplus 6, but the original firmware can do around 350Mbps (Tested on Channel 36)
Thanks!
Seems like this is the same issue when I try to add support for Linksys EA7500-V2 (#305 )
I noticed that in LUCI, Network -> Wireless -> Associated Stations, it is only showing
RX Rate / TX Rate
6.0 Mbit/s, 20MHz
585.1 Mbit/s, 80MHz, VHT-MCS 6, VHT-NSS 2, Short GI
it this normal?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the AC-speed comparison on the Linksys EA8100-AH, using channel 36, and inspect the LuCI Network → Wireless → Associated Stations RX/TX rates. Compare the behavior with issue #305 and the original-firmware result; done means the cause of the 50–150 Mbps throughput is identified and the driver behavior is corrected or documented.
