Description

I just installed openwrt 21.02 for Tplink Archer C20 v5. But the maximum txpower is only 14dBm and the 5G signal does not seem to be as strong as the original firmware. This device uses the MT76x0e 5G chip. Anyone have the same situation as me?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the 14 dBm maximum on the TP-Link Archer C20 v5 with OpenWrt 21.02 and its MT76x0e 5G chip. Compare the reported transmit power and 5G signal with the original firmware; done means identifying and documenting a reproducible driver issue or confirming the expected limit.
