When connecting to the 2.4 GHz network, there is a considerable loss in speed in Xiaomi and Samsung brands smartphones. This problem does not happen on the PC with an Intel Ax210 network card
OpenWrt version
r25142-a42075435a
OpenWrt release
SNAPSHOT
OpenWrt target/subtarget
mediatek/filogic
Device
GL.iNet GL-MT6000
Image kind
Official downloaded image
Steps to reproduce
Connect any smartphone at a frequency of 2.4 GHz
Actual behaviour
There is a considerable loss of packages in 2.4 GHz, making the speed limited to 60 Mbps
Expected behaviour
There should be no problems with loss of packages

Developers believe it is a problem with the MT76 driver. Therefore, they launched a version of the proprietary firmware with the mediatek drivers in a closed source that partially solved the problem. However, he uses an old OpenWrt version without support (21.02): https://dl.gl-inet.com/?model=mt6000&type=beta

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by reproducing the 2.4 GHz packet loss on the GL-MT6000 with OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r25142-a42075435, then compare the MT76 driver behavior with the proprietary MediaTek firmware and isolate a reproducible driver change; done means the smartphone connection no longer shows the reported loss and speed limitation.
