Gargoyle Forum

Hello guys, yesterday I got the Airlive AC1200-R. It's a dual band router capable of WISP/AP which I need. The problem is I need it to connect to a 5GHz a/c router and create another 2,4GHz AP.

It works. The problem is that the 5GHz a/c band only reaches 25Mbit even with 100% signal strength (maximum would be 150Mbit). The web interface is somewhat glitchy like setting a WISP on 5GHz band leaves the operation mode set as AP while still getting the signal from the other router and routing it to 2,4GHz/ethernet.

I want to ask if someone else have these problems on some other piece of hardware, the chipset is MT7620A/MT7612EN. Or if anyone knows about alternate firmware for this one.

Sadly the router seems not to be very common but it looks like a decent one if there were no problems with the slow 5GHz.

are you running gargoyle firmware?

I am not - I would definetly like to but I am not sure if there is a compatible version.

The solution is, of course, but you would violate the RFC standard.

Ok the problem is it only uses 20MHz band on channel 36 while set on auto (20/40/80MHz). The other router is available on 80MHz band channel 42, but I can't force the router to use it, while mobile phones/laptops are able to do so.
