Description
I think last release with decent speed/coverage was probably 21.x. Been running snapshots ever since but the issue still persists. As soon as I move further away (~3m) from the router coverage and thus speed drops significantly whereas this used to be just fine before. Quick search shows this post on the forum related with low TX power.
I have initially reported this under the openwrt repository here.

Done means identifying a reproducible driver regression and documenting or fixing its cause with a verification path.
