It's very possible that mt76 module do not support PCI vendor & device ID of 2-nd wifi. Can you show vendor and device ID?

Hi 123serge123,

Where can I find these information? Should I look on chipsets soldered to the board?

Thank you.
Francis.

See content of files vendor & device in dir /sys/bus/pci/*/ (where * - device number.function on pci-bus). Or output of 

lspci -v

But I don't remember  which package contain this utility (possibly in pci-util  or  busybox).

I also modified the serial port speed in the DTS file. Original speed is 115200 and OpenWRT speed was 57600.

Sorry, current code of mt76 module support only device 7662.
To correct LAN WAN port mapping add to /etc/config/network

config switch
        option name 'switch0'
        option reset '1'
        option enable_vlan '1'

config switch_vlan
        option device 'switch0'
        option vlan '1'
        option ports '1 2 3 4 6t'

config switch_vlan
        option device 'switch0'
        option vlan '2'
        option ports '0 6t'

Thank you very much 123serge123!

I added the config you gave me and now, the physical WAN port works as a real WAN port.

So we have to wait for MediaTek to release their code for the device 7650? Previously, asus-wrt was installed, is there any way to import code from the asus-wrt sources to OpenWRT sources for this device?

Again, thank you for your help.

Hi francis, you share firmware?

Hi sehack,

try to use this one. You MUST flash the firmware using the serial console, it won't work using the web interface provided by Asus-WRT.

Hi Francis,
    wich are the features suppored so far  in your firmware ?

thanks

I would recommend the firmware from Xiaomi Mi Wifi Mini works well under diodes led and 5GHz radio.

FYI, if the only thing you want is stable working firmware for Asus rt-ac51u (with full source), look at Padavan's project bitbucket.org

LEDs and 5GHz are not working. I haven't tested USB port but I don't think it works.
Anyway, it runs an OpenVPN server which is working fine and some cron jobs. VLANs are OK.

can you check wifi signal strength and RSSI for both 2.4 and 5 GHz? if everything is good please dump factory partition from router.

To add support for 2-nd wifi you need correct dts-file pci section. This section must look like:

        pcie@10140000 {
                    status = "okay";
    
                    pcie-bridge {
                            mt76@0,0 {
                                    reg = <0x0000 0 0 0 0>;
                                    device_type = "pci";
                                    mediatek,mtd-eeprom = <&factory 0x8000>;
                                    mediatek,2ghz = <0>;
                            };
                    };
            };

and add kmod-mt76 package into your firmware image.

some devices use pci0/pci1 instead of pci-bridge. maybe check that first?

Possible.
But as you can see in mt76x2_pci.c:

static const struct pci_device_id mt76pci_device_table[] = {
    { PCI_DEVICE(0x14c3, 0x7662) },
    { },
};

and I am not sure that simple addition PCI_DEVICE(0x14c3, 0x7650) may help. At any case you may try smile

As the situation is, I bury the sources of the original firmware and did not find mention of mediatek,2ghz

RT-AC51U with Padavan soft RT-AC51U_3.4.3.9-099_full.trx occasionally get stuck. No connection to WLAN.
I use router to distribute openvpn to local network in a constant way.
When the next stuck happen I'll try to check if LAN has failed either.

Hi to all, just got this router, trying to flash openwrt. Flashing via web-gui rescue not possible (using 192.168.1.10).
Flashing via tftp (using 192.168.1.75), it connects, can put the new fw but when I visit 192.168.1.1 asus fw is there.
Is there something Iam missing;

The discussion might have continued from here.
