Research direction
Start by reproducing the MT7916 5 GHz AP behavior and compare firmware d6611d015efd725706ee285308dedbff24b9ea03 with working revision 65bbd4c394a9d51f1ca5a0531166c22ff07d4e56. Done means the wlan1 interface broadcasts beacons to nearby devices while the 2.4 GHz interface remains working.
