Description

Issue: installed 22.03.2 openwrt stable on tplink archer C6us V3.2.

Noticed that 2.4ghz wifi has less signal strength (signal coverage) than using stock firmware.i tested signal strength of individual antenna using a wifi signal strength meter app and found that only ONE ANTENNA is used for transmitting 2.4 ghz signal.

I also tested on stock rom and found that on stock rom TWO ANTENNAS were used for transmitting 2.4ghz signal.

Tried different channels and also used different country code, tried resetting the router, installed different versions of firmware but nothing turns to fix the issue.

Research direction

No source file, test, logs, or diagnostic output is named. Start by reproducing the 2.4 GHz behavior on the TP-Link Archer C6 US V3.2 with the reported OpenWrt version and inspect the MT7603 antenna configuration; done means identifying the cause and confirming improved signal coverage against the reported stock-firmware behavior.
